    Our guide was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was fast paced but I wouldn’t have missed anything we saw. Only comment I can offer to help: emphasize how much easier it is to convert your money to soles rather than deal with American dollars.

    Excellent itinerary that went to all the places I wanted to visit in the Sacred Vally culminating in Machu Picchu. The guides were funny , knowledgeable and always kept us informed on where we were going and what to expect. They answered all questions swiftly and gave us advise on where to eat or shop .

    This tour was great! Alim was amazing and took very good care of us. My one suggestion is it would have been nice to know how much walking and climbing was expected during the tour.

    Outstanding first trip to Peru! Amazing opportunity to get a nice overview of Lima and Cusco. Travelling through the Andes and hiking the last 7 miles of the Inca Trail were priceless.This trip gives a broad overview of a LOT but obviously to really get into more detail on any given region /city/cultural aspect requires a longer stay. Nonetheless, I don't think we could have possibly done more in 8 days. All the more reason to go back!

  • L

    Leanne

    Asked on January 29th, 2025

    I would like to understand better the difference between this tour Journeys: Explore Machu Picchu National Geographic Journeys and The Machu Picchu Adventure tour

    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      The main difference is the accommodation. National Geographic Journeys style tours have nicer hotels and a few more included activities as well as an included arrival transfer. Both are great trips but if you wanted a bit nicer accommodation then the Explore Machu Picchu would be the better option.

      It is mandatory for all travelers to have Emergency Medical Travel Insurance that covers medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and repatriation to their home country. The combined coverage should be at least USD 200,000. We recommend upgrading to an all-inclusive policy that includes cancellation and interruption to protect your investment.

    Asked on September 9th, 2024

    Do you provide transfers to/from the airport?

    • National Geographic Journeys with G AdventuresOperatorWritten September 2024

      We do include an arrival transfer, however, the departure transfer isn't included. Once you have held a space with us we will check the system and see how much it would be to organise a transfer back to the airport for 2 of you at the end of your trip.
