    Machu Picchu Hike on the Inca Trail! With the help of our fantastic tour guide, Jonatan, we completed the four-day hike along the historic Inca Trail. He always looked out for us and was very informative and helpful. There were three dishes served each day, and the cuisine was fantastic and really varied. I am so proud of the chef and porter staff for their outstanding work during this trek. This journey was expertly planned by Vidal Expeditions, from pick-up to drop-off. Strongly advised!

    What a great experience hiking to Machu Picchu through the Inca Trail, the crew was was awesome always helpful. Chino the guide was excellent his knowledge about the history, culture and the area made a lifetime experience. We were only 5 people in the group perfect size to enjoy the stunning views on the route. Vidal Expeditions manage well the entire organization of the trip, they always been attentive to all the details. The only things that they have to manage is about the restrooms on the campsite, not clean enough.

    Lifetime Experience hiking with Jose. We were only 4 people in our group and it was perfect to enjoy as much as possible every day on this trek. Jose made really well his job managing all concerning to the camping site, food, trekking team and great motivation for all of us to don't give up on the 2nd day the most challenging day. Victoriano our chef he was an excellent person who prepared incredible food and varied even for someone in the group who was vegan person. The camping gear were pretty good, designed for this kind of expeditions, good tents, air mattresses which is included in your packages, (not as other companies that you need to pay extra for it) dinning tent was big enough for all of us and the sleeping bag very comfortable. Vidal Expeditions team worked very well to set up our tents, prepare the food, and always there were smiling. This was great motivation for us even carrying many kilos on their back, they taught that nothing is impossible if you focus on it. Jose were really patient guide, always telling us the best words to keep pushing our body and get our goals, his knowledge about leading groups are incredible, history and all our quistiones were answered. Vidal Expeditions did great job organizing every details of this trip, and we made the right decision by choosing them for our journey in Peru. Definitely if we are going back to Peru we will take their service again, and also we will recommend to everyone go with them, I guarantee that you will have incredible experience!!

    My wife and me hiked the classic inca trail to Machu Picchu, we took the service of Vidal Expeditions and WE LOVED IT!! it was an extraordinary experience on the Peruvian Andes and would recommed Vidal Expeditions to everybody!! Chino was our guide and he's awesome, he was full of knowledge about the Incan impere and many archaeological sites you encounter along the Inca trail. He also knew a ton about the flora and fauna we encountered and he was excited to share all this knowledge with us. Chino has been working on the Inca Trail for more than 10 years so he really knows his stuff. and he also is a kind of cool person who has enough patience for everyone who goes slowly. The porter team was incredible, we had a team of 8 porters (including the chef who performs the duties of a porter and chef) for 3 hikers. These guys were carrying uo to 50 ponds each with our tents, food, bathroom tent, and our belongings for whole trek. They also woke us up each day with hot coffe or coca tea in our tents and brought us hot water after a long day of hiking to wash up and soak your feet. Honestly Amazing!.. thank you. Percy, Celestino, Alejo, Seferino, Arturo, Mauro, Wilfredo and Segundo we appreciate what you did for all of us. From start to finish Vidal Expeditions made everything easy on the admin side of things too (Booking, Transport, storing luggages) Vidal the manager was lovely and friendly to talk with. TLDR: Book with VE, they are amazing!!

    Hike on the Inca trail with Vidal Expeditions and Antonio made of this trip a lifetime experience, our group was small only 5 people comparing the others more than 10 people. Everything were well organized from the pick up to the drop off the last day, the food was amazing and varied always using fresh products, the camping gear also was good enough for this kind of adventure and our Guide Antonio was the most incredible person I have ever met, he was more than our guide, he was part of our family and the group creating unforgettable moments. . I recommend Vidal Expeditions and Antonio for your trip to Machu Picchu.

    My friend and me did the Inca trail trek to Machu Picchu with Vidal Expeditions, our guide was Chino an incredible person and friend, he was knowledgeable about the history, nature, politic, trek advices and traditions, whole team work hard to create unforgettable experience hiking on the mountains, personally appreciate what they do while we are there between the mountains. The chef Angel made excellent meals these were for vegetarian options too. And the highlight of this trip were the porter, all my respects and admirations for them, because they were responsible of our meals stuff, camping stuff and our personal luggages. A big thank to everyone of this company who did the best experience of our trip to South America, I am agree with Chino when he told me that the culture here is totally different since they are children they are hard worker and now I proved it. Appreciate your big team Vidal Expeditions!!
