We just got back from an amazing trip with Inca Expert Travel, and we’re really happy we picked them! From beginning to end, everything went smooth and felt made just for us. Our guides were definitely one of the best parts. In the Amazon, our private guide was awesome—he’s been doing this for 20 years and still got really excited showing us animals. Every night, he went over the next day's plan so we knew exactly what to expect. We also liked chatting with the bar staff. Even though there were language differences with other guests, having our own guide made the trip easy and personal.
Our guide in Cusco and the Sacred Valley was truly great. We liked having the same guide both days—it helped everything feel connected. He knew so much about Incan history, archaeology, and stories. We also talked a lot about our families and cultures, and he gave us handmade leather gifts. That kind of personal attention is rare. Highly recommend!
Our guide at Machu Picchu showed up about 15 minutes late, but the agency kept us updated. He was fun, interesting, and full of facts, plus we got some awesome photos thanks to him.
All drivers were professional and on time—we really liked having separate drivers and guides.
The Vistadome train was a fun one-time thing—liked the idea, but the back car was noisy. The return trip in the front seats was much better!
Hotels:
Lima Hotel: Simple but handy and friendly.
Amazon lodge: Friendly staff and well managed. You should know what to expect—no TVs or flushing toilet paper, but it was clean and the food was great.
Cusco hotel: One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed at. Great service and breakfast!
Aguas Calientes hotel: Beautiful with excellent service. Next time, we’d ask for a higher floor—our ground-floor room felt a bit too open.
Finally, working with our travel advisor Max was easy and pleasant. Every detail was taken care of, and replies were always fast. As frequent travelers, this was our first time using a service like this—and we’d definitely do it again.
Thank you, Inca Expert, for a well organized and unforgettable trip!
