    Our tour guide had trouble communicating with the English speaking hikers. We were unable to understand his direction and information missed because of the language barrier. As he was explaining the history of the inca sites he unable to communicate in English leaving out information needed to understand the history.

    Wonderful journey; I can assure you that the five-day journey will be fun! The nicest parts of the Inca Trail were always shown to us by Manuel, who was an excellent guide who always made the experience enjoyable and intriguing. He led us with kindness and humor despite the different levels of fitness in our group. His extensive knowledge of the region's history, geography, and natural surroundings was astounding. The views from Phuyapatamarca and Warmiwauska, which we experienced as a smaller group, were two of my favorite experiences from the trip. I absolutely adored Machu Picchu. Please don't look any further if you're trying to decide which business to book your trek with. You just discovered it. Many thanks to the Inkayni Team!😊

    We just got back from the Inca Trail with my family. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, and our guide Raul was very knowledgeable about the trail and the history of the Incas. His experience also greatly aided the smooth operation of everything. They took note of our dietary needs based on our prior email talks. If you are a vegetarian or have any other dietary needs, they would gladly make accommodations. Overall, the cuisine was superior to that which we had in various Cusco places. The dinner was everything after a long day! We had no problems after doing the traditional Inca Trail (4 days), and everything was just spectacular. You won't regret working with the Inkayni team, I guarantee it.

    Amazing trip, I can guarantee you’ll have a great time on the five day trip! Manuel was a fantastic guide, always taking care of us and showing us the best of the Inca trail and always making it fun and interesting! We had varying levels of fitness in our group and he guided us with patience and good humour. His in-depth knowledge of the history, geography and local environment was amazing. I loved Machu Picchu, also some of my favorite experiences from the trip were Warmiwañuska or the views from Phuyapatamarca that we experienced as a smaller group. If you are wondering which company to book your Trek with, please, look no further, You just found it. Thank you so much Inkayni Team!!

    The 4d/3n Inca Trail hike to Machu Pichu with Inkayni Peru Tours and it was truly one of our top travel experiences to date. If you're considering the 4-day trek, I highly recommend INKAYNI TEAM! The tour was well organized, everything went smooth. With the “private tour” (we make emphasis in this because we hired a group service) our guide Pedro gave us time when we needed it and let us run the show within the limits of time. We visited a lot of inca-sites and we got all the information we wanted without it beeing in any way tedious. Our cook and the porters accommodated all dietary restrictions, the porters are absolute superheroes. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to make sure that their trip is organized by professionals who care about your experience and about the Inca trail.

    Inkayni Peru Tours could not have been a better choice for our 4 day trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. My boyfriend and I had booked this trip prior to the pandemic. However, due to covid we weren’t able to go. Inkayni Team & Tourradar provided us with vouchers (CFFT) and we were able to go and use our vouchers. The inca Trail is a unique experience in the life, you should try to do it! the porters were ALSO doing in half the time, with massive bags on their backs, that carried all of our things. It was nothing short of incredible, they are all completely incredible and honestly made the WHOLE experience. The food was incredible, considering the basic cooking facilities within the camps. Overall, I had the most amazing time on this trek and would definitely recommend and use Inkayni Tours again!

    Last year I took the classic inca Trail to machu picchu with Inkayni team and everythign was fantastic 😊 Our guide, JC – Juan Carlos, was excellent - so engaging while sharing his knowledge of the Incan history and he looked after us all so well throughout the whole four days. We spent Good times because the weather was favourable and sunny. The porters are some of the most hardworking people I’ve ever met and were the true stars of the show. Our every need was attended to with the greatest care and there were so many little touches which made for a really great experience. Highly recommend taking the plunge and doing the Inca trail and if you do I can’t stress enough my recommendation to hire Inkayni Peru Tours and this team to lead you.

    My family and I have just returned from the Inca Trial. Everything from start to finish was excellent, our guide Raul was extremely knowledgeable about the trail, the history of the Incas and his experience was invaluable in making everything run smoothly. Since the previous conversations throught emails they took note of our dietary requirements. They will happily accommodate if you are vegetarian or have any other dietary restrictions. Overall the food was better than what we had in some restaurants in Cusco. After an exhausted day the food was everything! Having completed the classic inca trail (4 days), we had no complaints and honestly everything was amazing. We highly recommend the Inkayni team, you won’t regret I promise

    My son and I just returned from our four day Inka Trail hike to Machu Picchu with Inkayni Peru Tours and had an absolutely incredible time!. This company goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience possible. Our guide Darwin was fun and extremely knowledgeable on the history of the trail. I don’t think we could have asked for a better guide. The food provided by the head chef Mario was delicious every single day! Overall an amazing experience with a fantastic team - absolutely recommend that you contact Inkayni Peru Tours if you visit Cusco.
