I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the tour. The stops at the weaving coop and restaurant the first day were great and Machu Picchu was beyond my expectations. Adelqui made the whole experience that much better!

We felt very misled as we were expecting that paying so much extra was for a private tour and were unpleasantly surprised when an elderly woman with mobility issues was included in our tour. We ended up helping drag her luggage around and giving her pref...

Scenery amazing and ultimately worth the travel. Unfortunately tour/culture is short term money grabbing.

The over all experience and sight seeing guided by our tour guide from G adventures was just right. Having a small group to tour was the best and the knowledge of our tour guide Adelky.

This short adventure was great for people who want to see a lot but don't have much time. I would prepare other people to be by themselves the whole time, there is not a group to interact with.

GAdv as demonstrating an understanding of its clientele and training and supporting the Staffs so that the services provided are not only professional, but sensitive to the differing needs of its clients.

This tour is epic. I had wanted to make this adventure since was 11 (67 now). It was far more than I had hoped for I was not prepared for the greatness and beauty of the region and sweetness of its people.

I only had a couple of days left in my South America trip, so this was a great way to get out to Machu Picchu and to see a little bit of Peru along the way. I was the only traveller on this trip, and my guide, Edison, was fantastic, and really tried to a...

It was a magical tour. It was a privilege being shown around by Adelqui, and absorbing his knowledge. I enjoyed every part from the weaving community to the train to going around Macchu picchu itself.

While on the tour itself we had a great time. My only issue really was that I would have liked more information in advance about what we were going to do. In particular, it was really unclear to me ahead of time that we'd be accompanied by a guide ...
