    This was a life changing trip for me- our group was a great dynamic and definitely made it even more amazing! The Inca trail was the specific highlight and I?ve never felt more happy than when I was walking. Thank you to everyone that made that possible!

    The overall experience was great. Everything seem to be organised well and having the CEO always with you really does help and as a little extra, especially for this Peru trip I was on.

    This g adventures trip to Peru was a once in a lifetime dream holiday. I got to learn about the magnificent Peru, and visit a 7th wonder of the world, machi Picchu, while also enjoying the fantastic company of our group and amazing tour guide. The whole experience truly felt like a dream that I will struggle to live up to again. To choose a tour operator that also helps the local communities only made things even better as we spent a wholesome visit with our host family, diving into the culture of Peru. This was an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend for those interested in really seeing what a country has to offer.
