(Cachiccata Trek, Jun 2010)

I can't say enough about the guides. We had Rollie only for one day and he was excellent. I enjoyed his passion for the Inca culture. Santiago was really great. Very organized, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun! He was very dedicated to use enjoying the trip and put in extra effort for whatever we needed. I really enjoyed his passion for the Inca culture and his knowledge of all the different sites we visited. The porters, cook and assistant cook were very friendly and helpful. The seven Lamas were definitely unexpected and very fun!! A highlight for me was cooking and eating together with the porters and cooks the last night of the trek. It was very fun! It felt like we were able to connect a little bit with these guys who helped us so much during the trek. I almost wish there was more of that during the trek. The hot water and tea in our tent in the morning was way beyond my expectations.

I didn't know what to expect beyond going to Machu Picchu. The accomodations and overall organization were really great. While touring Cusco I was so appreciative of the small group we had. I saw so many tour groups with 20 or 30 people and here we were with 4 plus our guide! I loved seeing the Peruvian countryside and the people there and was glad we didn't spend a lot of time in cities although the few days we spent in Cusco were great. Inti Raymi was very interesting and fun! So much variety and every day was different. I think signing up with your company and having a guide for the whole trip was invaluable and provided so much more than if I were to do something like this without a guide or other assistance. I really appreciated your philosophy of small groups and utilizing local businesses and guides. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone.
