What a wonderful experience! This expedition had a great balance of historical foundation, adventures in nature, delicious food, and cultural immersion. John was a fantastic guide who really enhanced the overall experience. I unfortunately got altitude sickness one of the earlier days, but all of the guides quickly mobilized to taken active and ensure I was well cared for. I am so glad to have seen this part of the world in such a special way. And I feel blessed that I now have friends to visit in Peru!

The hike was very difficult, partially because my husband and I are 63 and 57, respectively. That being said, however, it was VERY rewarding to actually complete the hike and see Machu Picchu on the last day. One Seed thought of everything.....transportation was seamless, guide was knowledgeable, meals were outstanding and the helpers on the trip were amazing. We had a fabulous time.

This trip was amazing. From pick up to drop off at the airport nothing was left undone. We saw amazing country, had historical lessons about Incas history, saw amazing ruins, ate fabulous food, camped in beautiful places and accomplished amazing physical and emotional things. I would recommend this tour again and again.

After going on OneSeed's Ultimate Peru trip this May, I cannot wait until my next trip with OneSeed. Our guide, Edgar, was a local to the area and it was amazing to learn first-hand about the culture and the region. The entire team became like family by the end of the trip! Accommodations varied by day, from tent camping (tents were set up when we arrived at camp for the night and taken down when we began hiking in the morning) to hotel accommodations in Cusco and Aguas Calientes and I could not have been happier with any of them. And the food! Delicious, local and plentiful. I have a healthy appetite and I never went hungry. This is a mission-focused company that takes pride in the details and I can't wait for my next experience with them!

My mom and I went on the Ultimate Machu Picchu expedition last September and absolutely loved it! Our guide, Juan Carlos was great...very helpful, knowledgable, and kind. We had a great time getting to know him and enjoying the gorgeous views Peru had to offer. The trek itself was absolutely beautiful and everywhere we camped and visited along our way was lovely. We have since booked the Annapurna Discovery trip for March and could not be more excited. Thank you OneSeed!
