Wonderful experience: Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu: Enjoy this wonderful hike in the mountains, organized your holidays with us:Completed the trip with David and everything was perfect. All logistics were handled well, timing of everything was great and he always knew when it's best to get where for avoiding crowds and getting the best views. Also learned a lot about Peru's history, the Incas and the wildlife.

We had a wonderful time on our trip and really enjoyed it. We got a bit unlucky with a landslide which blocked the train and some heavy rain. But David reorganised everything really quickly and made sure we hade the best experience. So happy we booked this tour which comes with the best guide (who is also great at taking the perfect Picture to make everyone jealous) And for all the vegetarians out here: Their food is great and well balanced. So not just pasta or some rice. Thank you so much David for this great time!I had an amazing experience with David, everything was well organized, even the packed lunch came from a local organic restaurant. David speaks a perfect English and I learnt a lot about history and more generally about life in Peru from him. I really recommend Andean Path Travels!

Seeing Machu Picchu had been a bucket list experience for us since we were children, finally being able to achieve that felt amazing and David our guide made sure to make it a memorable one. He is very knowledgeable about Inca history and Machu Picchu, easy to chat to and able to have a laugh with and made sure to take us to the best photo spots. From start to finish David was highly professional and well organised making sure everything was catered for. The whole trip ran smoothly and without a hitch, we would highly recommend David to anyone.Attention/Care given by leader David who is fluent in English and Spanish.

Attention/Care given by leader David who is fluent in English and Spanish. Having grown up in the Sacred Valley his knowledge and passion is superb. Due to illness I managed only day 2 but he helped smooth a longer stay in accomidation to allow recovery but he came to collect a group of 4 of us who arrived late in the evening .Choice of accomodation was very good, clean, comfortable, breakfast was good. Timing was strict ,all went smooth. Machu Picchu has to be experienced to be believd it's outstanding marvellous, the weather was very kind. Having not done day 1, I wanted to walk back ,about 1hr 20, use a walking pole for at risk knees! Breathtaking views and close ups of flora, the fast running River, absolutely worth the walk. The train journey is a bit of magic. Thank you David.
