- ACamilla G· September 9th, 2018The accommodation booked was good, the guides, especially Gerson Zea and the Inca trail guides Jhonatan Huacac Candia, Raul Olivera Marcelo and Juan Carlos Pillco Chuhui, were excellent.

Cindy
Asked on April 22nd, 2025Vegan meals. I also don't drink alcohol so is there alternatives for me
G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025Dietary requirements must be noted in your Good to Go. We would recommend taking some snacks along, as not all places on the road will have a wide variety to choose from, but dinners will be catered for (the ones included). We will also leave a note on your file in addition to the dietary requirements section in Good to Go. Using alcohol on our tours are a personal choice and NEVER enforced.

Oliver
Asked on February 19th, 2025This tour mentions suitable for Traveller below 40 years! And many locations accommodations are in shared hostel. My husband is 72 years old and physically fit. We prefer private room accommodations, so am not sure this tour is suitable for us. Would you please recommend similar itineraries including Manchu Picchu, Salt Flats, Amazon, or Patagonia or to east coast with private accommodations. Please kindly advise best seasons to visit.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
Yes, this will be a youth based tour for those between the ages of 18 to 39 years old. However, we do have plenty of similar options available.
