    The 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. I would not select a 10 because I would say that the last leg of the tour, Buenos Aires to Rio could be done without a tour guide.

    Travelling by tour takes the hassle out of planning and a great way for solo travellers to meet people. Although I'm not sure I'd recommend a 7/8 week tour as it's extemely tiring and hard going.

      Dietary requirements must be noted in your Good to Go.

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, 2025

    This 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.
