What our clients say

  • Highlight?: The whole of the Ausangate trek - the best short trek we have ever done in terms of scenery and local culture with the added advantage of comfortable mountain…

  • There were so many highlights, but Machu Picchu and climbing Huana Picchu and the whole Galapagos trip are the most memorable.

    GJ, Richmond Jul 2018
  • It was all good and every location was special so cannot choose one in particular.

    BC, Beckenham Mar 2012
  • Most Memorable Moment?: Machu Pichu probably the best experience but the train journey there was amazing (and unexpectedly so).
