It started off very poorly when bamba travel brought forward the trip 1 day without even notifying me untill 6:20pm of the first day!!! The communication is quite substandard, trying to get any information about itineraries and tickets is just drawn out and painful. The actual trip is good, however its not quite what its marketed to be! The 'mountainbiking' while technically we were biking on a mountain, its not mountain biking if you never leave the sealed roads. The rest of the activities and the trek through the mountains were fantastic. The guide was great he was very knowledgeable and a great asset. However he never showed up to guide on the last day, the most important day, the day actually at Machu Picchu. So i had to guide myself and get none of the relevant information as to what i was seeing.Show more
