    Amazing trip with View Peru!
    My wife and I had an amazing time in Peru with the help from View Peru! Starting from the planning phase, Doris was patient and detail oriented, guiding me through each and every choice for the trip. This planning took longer than expected due to various unforeseeable reasons. However, Doris has always been here answering questions and resolving problems. Before the trip, she would also make sure to collect all the information and send reminders to ensure I don’t miss anything. Once we arrived in Cusco, Alex was waiting for us in the airport with a big smile! As the host, he did everything he could to help us get comfortable (cushion in the car, snacks, water, etc.) and help us settle in with the high altitude. Throughout the trip, everyone from View Peru has been on time and attentive, ensuring a very successful trip for us Thomas, our guide, is nothing short of fabulous! He is extremely knowledgeable and flexible with the goal to give us a good experience in Peru. With the amazing porters’ help, we hiked the inca trail in 4 days and enjoyed every minute of it. We had a great experience! The entire trip is very smooth and well organized. View Peru team has stayed in touch to ensure everything works.

    **A 4-day trip in the Inca Trail in Peru**
    The 4-day glamping Inca Trail tour by View Peru was amazing. This trip to Machu Picchu exceeded our expectations because of the knowledgeable guides making this experience unforgettable.

    We fully praise Adrian. Every detail of Peruvian culture and history was included in his speech, delivered with the right amount of humor and telling skills. Orlando, another of our tour guides, worked perfectly with Adrian and their conversation was very enlightening as we conquered the Andean mountains.

    Every day we had a delicious meal made by the hands of Juan and Mario. Juan has several tricks to prepare a magical meal in a “kitchen” in the highlands. The quality of the meal, restaurant level. Also, the porters deserve our recognition as we understood how hard they work carrying all the equipment over 11.000 feet, meanwhile we had only our day packs with us.

    View Peru has a high level of efficiency in coordination. Thanks Javier and Rodrigo. Direct and on-time communication, perfect.

    The pickups and transfers from the airport were also great. Ronald has good conversation skills and we could also grab his knowledge of local culture.

    You can choose View Peru if you want to enjoy the Inca Trail as much as we did.

    **The 4 day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu**
    The tour with View Peru was a fantastic time. Our tour was private, just for the two of us with 10 people supporting our experience (a tour guide, a chef, an assistant, a lead porter and 6 porters). Each one was outstanding. Ready for our requests, resolved everything and very flexible. The places we stayed, camp sites, were just wonderful. High-quality tents and up-to-date equipment for our comfort. And the food, it was amazing. Each dish was pleasant to the sight and palate.

    We can say that the trek is challenging, but with a lot of beautiful scenery and even more enjoyable with the company of our tour guide, Adrian. He was very detailed about the information of the flora, fauna, culture and past… everything! I felt cared for with them every second of the trip. This definitively was more than a trekking adventure, he turned this trail into a valuable experience very likely to be recalled with so much joy.

    View Peru was in charge of all that had to be done on the trail. Campsite gear, set up and take down of tents, carriage of the equipment, the daily meals (3 per day), snacks and a tea time! We did not worry about anything else but our day pack (water, some snacks and rain clothes).

    Those four days in the Andean highlights really disconnected us from the routine. This camping adventure was superb thanks to all the crew from View Peru.

    **4 days of Glamping in the Inca Trail**

    Those four days on the Inca Trail were simply wonderful. Juan and Derex were very attentive with us along all the trek and they helped to build a great atmosphere and lovable memories. The camping gear and the tents were excellent. Even we had side tables, robes… and cozy, warm sleeping bags! The tour includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, and I loved the hot coffee delivered to our tents in the morning and the afternoon. Of course, we were very pleased with the hot shower and the massages. The fourth night was very touching. Charming views and even three llamas were watching over us… So nice! This trip to Machu Picchu, the entrance by the Sun Gate… So many unforgettable memories.

    ** Private Comfort Inca Trail for Experienced Travelers **
    I have absolutely no regrets on having booked our trip with View Peru and I recommend it to anyone who is wishing to travel to Peru. This trek was one of the best trips we ever had done, and we must say that we have traveled SEVERAL times. Thomas, our guide, was so charming, well-informed, and he had so many good skills that make him an incredible guide. We were so lucky to have a tour guide with Incan blood. The private tour was the best option as it suited our pace, and the meals were awesome. We had assistance whenever we needed it (set up and breakdown of tents) and all the gear. Language barrier was not a hindrance at all as the crew helped us with Spanish successfully. We were ready for all the challenges in the trail. So, if you are looking for the best tour and tour guide, go for the Inca Trail with View Peru.
