Something you will never, ever forget! - I recently completed the Short Inca Trail (2D/1N) with my partner whilst visiting Peru. We pre booked our experience with Action Trek Peru prior to visiting, and that decision was one we will never regret. Action Trek Peru were really helpful at clearly communicating the requirements for the trip and organising all necessary elements including hotel transfer, bus travel, rail travel and national park entry tickets. This also meant we avoided many hours of queuing to arrange this when arriving! Our tour guide, Nilton, was absolutely fantastic during our two day trip. On Day 1, Nilton picked us up from our hotel and guided us from Cusco all the way through to arriving by rail at KM104 to begin our hike. Over the 12km hike, Nilton was thoroughly engaging, motivating and funny. His style of providing excellent information on the places we visiting coupled with his excellent and humourous conversation made the whole hike a pleasure (even if at times the elevation gain and stair, after stair, after stair were a challenge!). Reaching the Sun Gate genuinely felt a real success! In the evening Nilton came out for dinner with us where we shared a lovely meal and spoke more about our amazing day, and the history of Machu Pichhu and Aguas Calientes. On Day 2, Nilton gave us a fantastic and information in depth tour of the site itself, the scenery, information and sheer scale of the site is something to behold. Whilst visiting it alone would be something to remember, with a tour guide from Action Trek Peru (especially Nilton!) your experience is so much more, we will never forget some of the stories shared and memories made. Thank you Action Trek Peru and Nilton for such a fantastic experience, we will never forget it and could not recommend visiting Peru and Machu Picchu enough!

The best way to experience Machu Picchu - What an experience! Everything was seamless when booking our trip, Action Trek Peru organise everything for you and look after you well. Pick up was easy and on time, very easy to send bags to hotel, everything included that you need. The hike was difficult at times but so rewarding and the scenery stunning, a special shout out to our guide Nilton who shared details about each Incan site we came across, different plants we saw along the way and many interesting facts about the Quechua culture. He was friendly, encouraging and funny and made the trip very enjoyable. Reaching the Sun Gate was so rewarding and such a special way to see your first view of Machu Picchu before the guided tour on day 2. Again Nilton was very knowledgeable and delivered the tour in an interesting way that did not feel manufactured. Do not hesitate to book this experience! :) Thank you Nilton and Action Treks Peru.

Amazing experience! - We had an exceptional experience! The team was incredibly flexible and helpful with all the arrangements, from managing our luggage to organizing everything with the hotel and restaurants, which made the entire trip stress-free. Our guide, Lino, truly made the difference. His vibrant personality and deep knowledge brought the journey to life, with tailored explanations that added a personal touch throughout. The trail itself was breathtaking, and when we finally arrived at Machu Picchu, Lino skillfully avoided the crowds, creating a peaceful and unique experience. It’s rare to feel so relaxed in such a busy location, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu.

“Breath”-taking in many ways but worth every single step - This was a truly magical trip - full of wonders in sights and sounds and tastes -an experience to be relived over and over in our memories. What made it extraordinary was our Action Peru Trek guide- Christian Pena He treated us like family and our one-on-one time With him over the 2 days was full of interesting conversations and unique insights into this place. He was genuine, respectful and passionate about his job and the Inca traditions and history We were truly mesmerized by the beauty of our surroundings and the importance of being part of a trek to such a historic and archeologically significant site. Christian was supportive and encouraging when we felt we could not take another step……and he never said there were millions of more steps….he kept us focused on the now and what beauty was to come which gave us hope that we could finish🥳. Thank you for a truly magnificent trek - absolutely the best 2 days ever!!!!

Awesome experience with very professional guide - Awesome experience, enhanced by our guide, Ronnie. He was very knowledgeable and his very good english made our 2 days trip very enjoyable.

Highly Recommend - Great Experience! - We did the 2 day/1 night hike to Macchu Picchu starting at km 104 with Lino as our guide. Lino was fantastic and made sure we had the best experience with his easy going attitude, knowledge of the area, and history of the Incas.   The hotel arranged for us in Aguas Calientes was very comfortable and the packed lunch for the hike was delicious.   On our second day, we added on the hike to the top of Huayna Picchu. The view was worth the grueling rock stair hike up. All around well worth it. Thank you Lino and Action Peru Trek. We highly recommend them!

2-Day Inca Journey to Machu Picchu - Our 2-day Inca trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely fantastic! The journey started with the train ride from Ollantaytambo followed by a manageable hike to Machu Picchu. Our guide, Edgar, was excellent, sharing fascinating insights about the Incan culture, history and landscape. Day two was all about Machu Picchu, and although we didn’t had luck with the weather that day, Edgar made the experience even more special with detailed stories. The entire trip was well-organized, with very good logistics, great pacing, and a knowledgeable guide. A perfect blend of adventure and history — highly recommend!

Great two day Mach Pichu tour - We had a great time with Nilton. He judged our walking pace well & when we needed rests. It was great to be shown around Machu Pichu in a relaxed way ( unlike other guides that hurry), and also be shown around by someone who was interested in how the Incas lived & in what they might have believed.

Trek of a lifetime - Action Peru Treks was exceptional from start to finish. Roxner was very informative from the initial enquiry stage right through to the start of the trek, so thank you for all your help and advice. We had the most amazing and unforgettable trek to Machu Picchu with Christian. He was an absolute pleasure to be with and had the patience of a saint with my family. Nothing was ever an issue for him, his knowledge of the area, nature snd wildlife expertise was phenomenal and also his photography skills are something else. I can safely say I would recommend this company to anyone considering any excursions in Peru. Thank you again Christian and Action Peru for memories we will never ever forget.

The Inka Trail to Machu Picchu is magnificent - Machu Picchu is magnificent. Like nothing I've ever seen before. The trail on day one was challenging but so beautiful and our guide Hipo really made the whole experience for us. He was so enthusiastic, supportive and knowledgeable. He had great humor and it was just really enjoyable to spend the 2 days with him. If I was coming back to Cusco/Machu Picchu i'd definitely request to go with him again. He also helped to make the trip very smooth with no waiting in lines and he was very punctual. The trek itself was fantastic. It totally exceeded my expectations and I was really glad to have Hipo with us to learn all about the nature, scenery and inkan history. The lunch provided on day 1 was also exceptional, for a packed lunch I was very impressed, it was the best brownie I've ever had! This experience was definitely something I will always remember and would fully recommend someone coming to Peru to do. As an avid traveller and reviewer, I believe feedback is a gift so I'm also sharing the reasons I am giving this experience 4 stars and not 5, with the hope it will be taken on board by the tour provider to make this specific tour even better. The 2 main reasons this was not a 5 star experience were the following: 1. Accommodation The staff at the B&B were so friendly and helpful, however the quality of the accomodation was really bad. Our room had windows on the first floor that didn't lock, the walls were paper thin so we could hear everything from outside including loud techno music and dogs barking at 3am. This meant that we had a terrible sleep. Considering day 1 starts at 4am and day 2 at 5:30am, having a restful place to stay is so important. Additionally the bathroom facilities were really old and smelled like sewage. For a tour that cost over €1000 for 2 of us, the accomodation was really below expectations. We checked online and it was about €40 for the night in the B&B we stayed in, and you could tell. I strongly recommend investing in a higher quality accomodation for future guests. 2. Day 2 of the tour, bad organisation The morning of the second day was fantastic. Hipo collected us and took us to Machu Picchu for a tour and we were one of the first groups in which was amazing. However we were back in Aguas Calientes for about 9:30am and the tour was over, but we had to wait until 15:50 for our train back to Cusco. That's over 6 hours in a town with not much to do and no access to a hotel or facilities. This felt like a serious waste of time and was really disappointing. I feel we should have been travelling back to Cusco within 2 hours of the tour ending. The final thing that really bothered me was after the wait, we boarded the train back to Cusco to realize we weren't seated together. As a couple, travelling together and booking the tour together, I expect that our seats on the scenic train ride of over 1 hour are beside each other. This felt like really really bad organisation from the tour provider and to be honest after spending that amount of money and waiting that long for the train, just isn't good enough. Overall day 1 was 10/10, we couldn't thank our guide Hipo enough, as apart from the magnificent scenery, he was the highlight for us.
