Thank you for an unforgettable experience

If I could give Reuben 100 stars I would!!!! I can’t recommend him specifically and Alpaca Expeditions enough! He took my fiance and I from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and explained everything along the way. His charismatic nature, expansive knowledge and passion about the history of the Inka and Peru is evident from the moment you meet him, making it feel like a friend is guiding you on your journey and at the end of our trip we truly were friends! You cannot do better than Reuben and Alpaca Expeditions!!

Perfect!

Truly fantastic experience! Our guide David was excellent: knowledgeable, helpful, and always attentive to our needs. The organization was impeccable, with great precision and punctuality, even despite some changes to the schedule during the tour, but above all despite incessant rain. Everything was handled professionally and without any problems. Highly recommended!

Very impressed

Our experience with Alpaca travels was nothing but good. We couldn't make our original trekking so they were very cooperative to change our itinerary so that we could make Machu Picchu. Carlos was a great help all the way through. Our guide David Condor was perfect. Very passionate about all the sights we visited. Very knowledgeable. Also he managed the group perfect getting everyone on time in a proper way to their tours.
