I originally had a different trip plan, but ended up booking this one due to scheduling conflicts. We booked it days in advance during peak season and AB Expeditions were able to accommodate us! We had a fabulous time exploring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Rosbel, who was so knowledgeable, kind and helpful every step of the way. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

We had a great time on the 2 day Inca Trail tour! The walking route was satisfying but not too tough and passed some interesting places. Visiting Machu Picchu in the afternoon and then the morning was amazing. Our guide Rob was great fun and told us lots of fascinating things about the Incas and wildlife, in addition to taking amazing photos for us. And the food and hotel were both fantastic.

Booked 2 day Inca Trail with AB expeditions and process was quite smooth. The hike which finishes at the top of Machu Pichu through the mountains and other archeological sites is truly an amazing experience. Giovanni our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the Incas and the history of Peru, you could really tell his enthusiasm about the topics. Also, a plus was that he was a great photographer. Samuel our porter prepared an excellent lunch - full meal with a private seating and a great table and plenty of tasty options, miles above the typical lunch box - which was a great added bonus.
