Most dedicated professional I've ever met

Published on Jan, 2025

Omg. I did 1 day inca trail with Nildo and this guy went above and beyond. The train he was supposed to take was delayed and he ran. Yes. Ran... on foot.. 5 kilometers to the meeting point we agreed on so that my tour was on time. You're not going to find a more dedicated professional than that my friend. He is knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about his incan heritage which radiated from his very being. I had an absolute blast, request this man and youll be lucky to get him.

2 days of utter fun

Published on Oct, 2024

Absolutely amazing experience on our tour!! Everything is so welled planned, organised and executed. We didn’t have to queue for anything and the 2nd day arrival at Machu Picchu was perfectly timed when the clouds lifted and you can see the entire site. Stunning! Jose our guide is patient and super knowledgable. Thanks a mil Jose. We also did the extra WaynaPicchu climb.

Unforgettable experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

An unforgettable experience. The tour was organised very well, tickets, transfers, information etc was as good as could be. Our guide Jose was great, friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable along our trek which made it extra great! The view when you reach the sun gate I will never forget!

Do it!! :)

Unforgettable experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

My partner and I did the 2-day Inca Trail hike, and it was a wonderful experience. We initially booked the camping option, but due to an issue with the campsite (possibly because we were the only ones booked that day), we ended up staying in a hotel instead. This change didn’t affect our experience at all. Special thanks to our tour guide, Jose, who was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient as we adjusted to the altitude. He also shared a wealth of information. Be prepared for some challenging sections and tricky stairs, but overall, it’s a great trek. I would definitely recommend!
