Brilliant - Excellent - Fantastic

Elix looked after us on the 2 day inca hike, he couldn't have been more informative and attentive to our questions and needs. I was feeling poorly from stomach bug and felt very unwell but Elix kept my moral high by carrying my backpack as I had no strength, he told us stories which kept our spirits up. His knowledge and passion shone through, everything was seamless and very professional. Nothing was too much trouble, even taking a million photos for us. We had the best experience and Elix made this possible, the food my wife had was excellent, unfortunatley my tummy bug stopped me from eating!! 5 Stars all round Elix is a legend Best wishes Jonnie Boy and Wendy

Great experience

Alpaca Expeditions was fantastic and our guide Angel was the best. Took real great care of us from pick up to the end and assisted when we had some tough time on the trail. He gave us a great overview of Machu Picchu and took care of the littlest things going above and beyond. Highly recommend Alpaca and also our guide Angel

Dreams Do Come True in Peru

It has always been a dream of mine to visit Machu Picchu, and your tour group made that dream a reality. David Villanueva was absolutely exceptional. Not only was he friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, but he also made the entire experience fun and engaging. You can truly see his deep love and passion for the history of his country, and it shines through in everything he does. The hotel and restaurant selections were also wonderful. I cannot express enough how much we appreciated David. He took all of the stress out of the trip and created an unforgettable experience filled with rich history and memorable moments. I would recommend him a million times over and would gladly book another trip with him anytime.

Amazing experience, start to finish!

We had an incredible experience with Alpaca Expeditions. They made the most difficult parts of our trip a breeze—booking the tickets to Machu Picchu, train tickets, transport to and from hotels, finding delicious places to eat during our stay, etc. The most amazing part of our trip was our guide, David Villanueva. He was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make everything wonderful. He had a wealth of knowledge to share that enriched our experience. I would highly recommend this company! (And request David as your guide!)
