Great experience! - I had a great time in this hike. It was both challenging and rewarding. Our guide Felipe explained a lot about the Incan civilization and made sure that the whole group made it through promptly without feeling rushed. The food and service was outstanding, with the chef making a lunch that more like a high end restaurant than in the middle of a trail. I would recommend AB Expeditions without reservations, they take very good care of you at every step of the way!

The BEST and most EPIC 2 Days Trail to Machu Picchu - We had the BEST, most EPIC trip with Raul (our guide) and Daniel (our chef). Raul is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and simply fun to hike with up to the incredible Machu Picchu. The trip was so well planned, everything ran smoothly and pleasantly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Daniel waited for us halfway up the trail with the most amazing meal, truly hard to describe. The meals were spectacular, the hotel was great, and the organization of the train, bus, and entrance tickets was excellent. I would highly recommend AB Expeditions to anyone considering a trip, look no further. You’ll be in responsible, responsive, kind, professional, and overall wonderful hands.

Perfect experience with ABExpeditions and our guide Jacob - Our experience with AB Expeditions was simply exceptional. Our guide Jacob was perfect throughout: he explained every detail clearly, helped us whenever we needed him and accompanied us throughout the tour. Besides, he is a very polite person, very friendly, and we really enjoyed his company. He also demonstrated a thorough knowledge of both the Inca Trail and all the visits to the Inca heritage we made. The organization was impeccable. There was not a single failure in the three days: absolute punctuality, well selected hotels, managed tickets without any problems... Everything worked perfectly. I have no complaints; on the contrary, I can only recommend everyone to hire their tour with AB Expeditions and I invite you to encourage everyone to do the Inca trail because it has been an unforgettable experience.

Amazing, well guided and great food and accommodation - Our guide Jaime was great company for the 2 day trip. Day 1 was a good and tiring hike. There was always great food and our accommodation in Aguas Calentes was lovely. Honestly an experience can’t be faulted.

Outstanding Experience with AB Expeditions & an Incredible Guide! - Our experience with AB Expeditions in Cusco was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The entire trip was well-organized, professional, and truly unforgettable. Our guide, Amilcar, was phenomenal. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the history, culture, and landscapes of the region. His explanations brought every site to life. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that enthusiasm made the experience even more special. Everything ran smoothly, the pacing was perfect, and the attention to detail was impressive. Thanks to Amilcar and AB Expeditions, this was easily one of the highlights of our time in Peru. If you’re considering a tour in Cusco, do not hesitate to book with AB Expeditions and request Amilcar as your guide — you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic hike with AB Expeditions and Jacob Diaz - This was a great trip. The hike from Km 107 to Machu Picchu is stunningly beautiful and the ruins of Wiñay Wayna on the trail to Machu Picchu are spectacular as was AB expeditions. Everything was coordinated perfectly, and our lunch was great. Our guide, Jacob Diaz was also great, knowledgeable, very conscientious, and a heck of a nice guy. He took us around Cusco before the hike and on the hike he took good care of the stragglers. His knowledge was good enough so that he was filmed by the Discovery Channel at Sacsayhuamán. He also helped us get our stuff back when we left it in the van at Cusco and had it delivered to our restaurant where we were having dinner.
