I did the 12 day Amazon to Andes tour, starting in Lima, to Cuzco and the Inca trail and then on to 4 days in the Amazon. The Inca trail was the best experience of my life, challenging but such a thrill. Our guides at G Adventures were so good and pushing us to keep going and such a laugh along the way, 2 of our team were in their 60s and struggled so the guides devised a plan to make sure they could go at a slower pace and to ensure the whole team made it. The porters where phenomenal, the food they cooked was incredible and always such an amazing greeting as we got to camp.
Throughout the whole process of booking and back home G adventures were there with regular emails and always answering the phones (24 hour line- so useful for those who can’t easily take time out the working day to sort bits). I was a lone traveller so doing the whole tour with a group was so good, and took all the stress out of it. I honestly can’t praise them enough and am super excited to use them for future adventures.
