- Get· June 17th, 2025Our trip itinerary was good, but changed many times, even in the middle of the trip. The group we were with has way too many people for only two guides to handle. The porters were carrying double the weight than was is allowed by their local laws. The bus that picked us up from the train station had tires that were completely bald and the driver was driving like a mad ass. I would not use this company again.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- JSJessica· July 28th, 2023We had an amazing experience with Alpaca Expeditions! We did the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour as well as Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. Both were fabulous. Coordination from the office was timely and flawless, the guides were so kind and knowledgeable, and food was delicious. I am so happy with our choice - I’d use Alpaca again in a heartbeat.Show more

Our guide, Saul, was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and kind. Our driver, Jorge, was kind, punctual, and very hard working. Our 2 year old LOVED them both and is still asking to see them again. Everything exceeded expectations from the first minute to the last. We will recommend Alpaca Expeditions to all of our friends and family!Show moreTrip date: February 2022
- Anne· February 2nd, 2022My family and I did a private customized version of the In Eyes of the Inca tour with the incredible tour guide Saul Palma in November of 2019 (luckily right before the pandemic!). We were so glad we went with Alpaca Expeditions for this trip a lifetime and feel very lucky that we were paired with Saul. He was an absolute professional and had such passion and pride for Peruvian culture. He was a great person to learn from during our week and we loved each part of the tour.Show moreTrip date: November 2019

Asked on August 2nd, 2024I will already be in Cusco the day before the tour so I will already have hotel accommodations. The tour info says it can be booked without hotel included. How do I do that?

Asked on April 5th, 2024Is this tour available without Cusco accommodation (I already have my accommodation) and can the train be up graded to the Vistadome Train? What would the price be if this is a possibility?
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written April 2024
1. Yes, we can take off the hotel for your reservation, it will be a discount of $40 per person. 2. VISTADOME TRAIN: $75 per person (one way).

Traveler•Written April 2024Is there a removal of cost for the train, if I'm paying $75 for the Vistadome train? Can you put an itinerary together for me and an end price please?
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written April 2024
The 75 dollars is only for the return trip. If you want a round trip, it would be 150 dollars per person. There is no discount because the train service is not removed, there is only an upgrade. If you remove the Hotel from the package we discount $40 per night and per person.
- J
Jeremy
Traveler•Written April 2024When does the price change on my quote, if I'm not using the accommodation in Cusco? I have tried booking this and the price is still quoting the accommodation and not the train travel.
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written April 2024
The platform will not allow you to make changes, those changes would have to be made directly by our system. The rate is $650 per person, you have included one night in Cusco and another in Aguas Calientes. Each night it will be $40, for the 2 it would make a total of $80. Which would give us $650 - $80 = $570 per person.
