A guide who makes the Inca Trail an unforgettable experience! - Thank you, Jhimmy! We did the 2-Day Inca Trail with guide Jhimmy. He was a fantastic guide! He really catered to the group's individual needs. Unlike many other guides, he actually speaks English and understood us. On other tours, we experienced guides rigidly reciting a rehearsed script. With Jhimmy, you could feel his genuine enthusiasm and his vast knowledge of Machu Picchu, plants, the Incas, and much more. Thank you so much, Jhimmy, for this wonderful tour! We had two amazing days and, so far, the best tour of our three-month South American trip. The food and accommodation were fine. We would book the tour again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it!

Amazing experience! We did the 2-day Inca Trail tour to Machu Picchu in a group. An incredible experience with José as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and flexible. José made sure we didn't feel rushed at all, and we were able to stop for breaks, take photos, or simply admire the incredible views. The only downside was the accommodation, which was a bit run-down and could have been cleaner, but it was adequate for one night.

2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with the amazing tour guide José! My partner and I just completed the 2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with the amazing tour guide José, and I highly recommend him! He was so kind, had great energy, was very cool, and had so much knowledge to share about our ancestors. The hike had consistently breathtaking views, and we learned so much about the Incas!

Much more than we expected! It was an incredible experience from beginning to end! We were lucky enough to have Jhony as our own private guide, who made our trip truly memorable! He is very knowledgeable and shared so much about history, culture, and stories from his travels. Meeting him was a pleasure and a highlight for us. The activities are fun, the food is fresh and delicious, the trail is breathtaking, and the people are so happy, friendly, and genuinely want you to enjoy their culture and have a great time! We've always wanted to experience the Inca Trail and see Machu Picchu, and if we had done it on our own, we would have missed all the little villages, the food, and the people! If you want to disconnect from the outside world and recharge while being active, we 100% recommend this trip. A trip of a lifetime.

Highly recommended route and guide!! The Inca Trail is full of spectacular landscapes and nature.

Highly recommended!!!!!

A fantastic four-day cultural immersion through diverse experiences like rafting, biking, zip-lining, and trekking. We hiked the Inca Trail high above the city, explored the processes used in coffee and coca, and even took a walk through the jungle. Everything was done with meticulous attention to detail and care. Jimmy's knowledge and patience truly made it even better. I'm so glad I finished the trip with them.
