We had the most memorable family vacation in Peru and thanks to Kuoda Travel. I would like to show our appreciation to their exceptional service by writing this review. Their previous Tripadvisor reviews has convinced me to choose them over other travel agencies. I started planning our 8nights/9days April vacation( Sacred Valley-Inca Trail –Machu Picchu-Lima) with Lotte, our trip designer... More

Hiking the Inca Trail in 2010 was a transformative experience for me. Not only did the hike push me physically and mentally, it kept rewarding me all along the way with breathtaking landscapes and beautiful hidden ruins. My guide Edwin (with EcoWaykys but booked through Adventure Life) was awesome. He knew when to push me and when to give me... More

Fortnight's holiday in Peru with LLama Travel which included Lima, Cusco and the 4 day trek. This was perfectly organised with amazing local guides who really knew their stuff. Although we opted for the "basic" hotels when in Lima and Cusco they were great -immaculate, beautifully decorated and the Cusco hotel (Maytaq Waisin) was right near the city square. It... More

My dad and I did the 4 day Inca Trail hike in December with Adventure Holidays Peru and had the best time. I spent hours researching different companies and reading different reviews and ended up going with Adventure Holidays Peru and am really glad I did. Our guides and porters were so nice, professional, and knowledgeable, and our chef was... More

My husband and I splurge and took the option of a private tour with Llama Path which spreads the hiking over four whole days. This meant that we camped at different sites to the four day hikers. The first night there was just one other small group while the third night we had Phuyupatamarka all to ourselves. Waking up to... More

I took the Inca Trail trek with G Adventures in May, 2013. It was one of the items on the bucket list, a once in a lifetime experience. G Adventures were great hosts for the tour, providing a luxurious camping experience for the facilities available. (It is agreed with other posters that the bathrooms were incredibly unpleasant, to the point... More

I just got back from the 4D/3N Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu. It was a challenging and rewarding journey. I booked the trip with the Peru for Less travel agency. Peru for Less did an amazing job to ensure that my trip went smoothly. My contact agent Adrienne provided all of the detailed information I would need in order... More

I would advise to adjust few days before in Cusco and then bring lot of coca leaves. You will love it especially if you walk this trail with friends or lovers

We just completed the Inca Trail and it was an amazing experience. We did the trail with Wayki Trek who were absolutely faultless, the guide, porters, food and equipment were all amazing and we could not have had a better time! The trail itself can be a little difficult at times, I would say we are of average fitness, some... More

My dad and I traveled to Peru last week (April 2013), and signed up for the private 2-day "Easy Inca Trail Hike" with Adios Adventures. Leading up to the trip itself, I was in correspondence with Jacquie from AA quite frequently, and she was incredibly helpful with replying within a couple hours to any email with any questions I had...
