Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Sam Travel

Published on Sep, 2022

My friend and I had a great time on the tour! They were very organized, on time and knowledgeable. Liz was our tour guide and she was absolutely excellent. She is very knowledgeable about each of the sites and even met with us the day before the hike to go through the itinerary and what we would need to bring. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great day hike surrounded by stunning scenery.
