Inca Trail - unique walk
The guide Jhony is spectacular, with a lot of knowledge as part of the Quechua civilization. Jhony was attentive to everything and helped during difficult moments of the trail. Their explanations were very interesting, explaining everything with great sincerity and without "making up" stories.
Roland was very good with the organization; the hotel booked in Aguas Calientes was very good, everything worked very well. Richard the driver is a champion at driving on winding roads and arriving on time for the train. I highly recommend it.

Awe inspiring trip and amazing guide
Throughout our tour, Jhony struck the perfect balance between professional guide and trusted friend, seamlessly engaging with us while still giving our family space to enjoy our time together. His deep expertise—built over countless treks—was evident in the insightful context and engaging discussions he shared about the history of the area. Jhony made this an extraordinary trip that our family will remember for years to come. Highly recommended!

Super tour and super guide!
Everything was great:) The view was beautiful and our guide told us many interesting facts about Machu Picchu, its history and the ecosystem around it.
The included dinner was also delicious, and there are meat-free options.
Also, I recommend visiting the hot springs, although they are not included in the tour; towels are available to rent.
