- LLor· April 27th, 202415day National Geographic Inca Explorer The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!).Show more

- AIveta Trenkova· October 21st, 2022This was the best tour I have ever done! Thanks to G Adventures we were able to meet local communities in Peru, something we wouldn't have been able to organize ourselves. Doing the Inca trail was a fantastic experience - we couldn't have wished for a better guide (Enrique) or a better organization!

- ADenise Dunne· October 23rd, 2022Got lucky and met the nicest group of people! The guides were all excellent at their job, knowledgeable and very friendly. One small downside was the organisation. Some guides would tell us, oh the guide tomorrow will let you know the details. However when the following day came, the guide would tell us oh your guide yesterday should have explained all the details. Its only a minor thing but organisation and communication could have been better. But a great experience overall and j would be happy to travel with G Adventures again!Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewHi there! Thanks for taking the time to send through your feedback.

Natalia
Asked on March 17th, 2025What is the physical difficulty level of the hiking on this tour?
G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2025The physical rating for this tour is demanding, suitable for most healthy travelers who are comfortable with high-altitude hikes.
- J
Jade
Asked on February 20th, 2025What is the climate in the month of July? What is the camping accommodations like?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2025
MAY-SEPT is considered the high season in Peru where the weather is ideal for trekking and camping (Peru has a wet and dry season for weather and JULY will be their dry season). The days will be pleasant but mornings/evenings will be very cold in the Andes. About Accommodation: Please note that hot water shortages and power outages can be fairly common in Peru (even in upgraded hotels and private homes). We appreciate your patience and understanding that these occurrences are outside of our control. 3 Nights Camping: If your trip includes the Inca Trail or Lares Trek, we use three-person tents to accommodate two travellers, leaving room for your sleeping mats and sleeping bags (not provided, but available for rent). There are a few places along the trail with permanent (very basic) toilet facilities and we also set up private toilet tents for the use of G travellers.

Marina
Asked on November 26th, 2024Are there programs where I can visit Peru and Machu Picchu with limited physical condition (2 hours walking, some climbing but not much)? I am 68 years old.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
We have tours that visit Machu Picchu via train and spend ~2 hours walking around Machu Picchu, instead of hiking the Inca Trail to get there. This tour, Inca Discovery, can be done with the "Cusco Stay" option instead of the Inca Trail or Lares Trek, which would hike.

Marina
Traveler•Written November 2024I would like to do that. Can you tell me about arrangements for flying into Peru and back from BRU airport? I do not want to share a room.
- G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2024
We do not provide airfare just the tour. We do offer the My Own Room option for an additional charge to have a room to yourself.
