I have hiked the Ancascocha and Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu and I had the best adventure of my life. Action Peru Treks is a well established responsible trekking company in Peru.


I joined them for the trek and the surprise was that they were just starting their new program "Epowering Women on the Inca Trail" which is a phenomenal project that they are introducing women in the tourism industry. They have the plan to hire women only for their inca trail treks in 2020 and this is a magnificent project that everyone should support.

Keep up the great work APT! and thank you so much for a great trek to Machu Picchu :)

Best tour company hands down!!! We booked this tour not really knowing what to expect but what we received was amazing! This tour company has put time into thinking what will make an even better experience for their customers. I'm a very picky eater and I was always able to find something to fill my tummy up with, with all the meals. The soups were so delicious!!! I can't believe the amount of food and the variety of food they can bring along on this trip. The camp grounds were great! Our tents were great and comfy. I rented a sleeping bag from them and it was clean and perfect for the trek.
 
Our guide, porters, and chefs were friendly, professional, and did an amazing job. We can't forget Rox in the main office. If I ever return I will defiantly use them and will tell all my friends who are heading that way the same thing. I can't think of anything bad or negative to say about our experience with APT.

I could write a book on this tour company that's how much I enjoyed it. I know I kept thinking , I'm so glad we found them. We had our own private tour, most times we were the only group at the trails and campsites. I saw the second nights camp ground that the other groups take and I had anxiety looking at all the people and praying we weren't going to a place like that. The campgrounds were quaint, clean, and in areas that we could get a nice, quiet nights sleep. I would not hesitate booking them!!! cheers! p.s. they carry their own private toilet around for the whole trek, a bonus in my eyes.

As with all small group travel, your group and tour leader have a lot to do with whether or not you have an enjoyable tour.  For this trip, we were lucky enough to have a great group and an absolutely amazing tour leader.  Adrian (tour leader) was a huge part of why this tour was a resounding success!

Just a couple thoughts on this particular trip:

- Bring a suitcase!  Don't buy the hype and strap a big old backpack to yourself.  You'll regret it (trust me).  A suitcase is easier and quicker to pack than a backpack.  True, many streets in older areas of European cities have cobblestones.  If your suitcase has wheels, you're probably ok on these streets and sidewalks.  The trek between train station and hotel can be quite a haul in some instances.  As long as you can safely carry your luggage up and down a flight of about 30 stairs and lift it above your head on occasion to store it in the train, you're fine.  If you can't lift and/or carry your suitcase for these short distances, you have either packed too much stuff or you just might not be in shape to make this trip.  We had a group of 10 travelers and 8 brought suitcases.  Hauling a loaded backpack up and down train station stairs and from station to hotel and back was way more effort than it was worth.

- Don't be afraid to sample the local cuisine (sometimes).  Following local customs and eating local dishes is part of why you travel.  That being said, there is a reason some of these traditional dishes haven't become worldwide sensations.  Some of them just aren't that great.  It's hard to know what you'll enjoy ahead of time, but trust your gut and try things you wouldn't normally try at home.  Just don't be shocked if, every once in awhile, you don't ask for seconds.

- Wear comfortable shoes!  We're not talking about shoes that are soft and comfy while walking around the house.  We're talking shoes that can keep your feet intact while walking uneven surfaces and pounding those previously mentioned cobblestone streets and sidewalks for extended distances and periods of time every single day.  Imagine a strenuous 7-8km hike in the mountains over rocks of all shapes and sizes.  Now imagine walking your ever-loving backside off through town the very next day, and every day after that.  You absolutely need shoes that will hold up to a lot of walking.  I would advise bringing two pair of shoes for this trip.  Better yet, get yourself used to walking long distances in your shoes of choice prior to the trip.  You'll be glad you did.

- European bandaids suck.  Bring your own.  You will end up with a blister, or ten.  If you don't bring your own adhesive bandages, you will not enjoy the outcome.

- Bring an extra t-shirt or two, a couple extra pairs of underwear, and enough socks to last until the apocalypse.  There are opportunities to have your laundry washed while on this trip but you really don't want to run short of the essentials.  I also found time to sneak off to a laundromat for an hour.  You don't want to be the stinky one in the group.  :)

- The stars of the trip for me, supply-wise: Febreze, an awesome travel adapter with 4 USB ports, a lightweight day pack, a travel wallet that attached securely to my belt, my own soap, and earplugs.

- Things I wish I had brought with me: a couple washcloths (You won't find any in these hotels), another pair of shorts, more bandaids, and a wheeled suitcase.

- Oh, I almost forgot.  Get your phone/data situation figured out ahead of time.  If your cellular provider offers coverage while you're in Europe for a somewhat reasonable cost, take advantage of it.  If not, make certain to plan ahead and locate a reputable big-name cell service provider store as soon as your arrive.  15-20 bucks will get you a couple GB of data.  Wifi is available in your hotel but you need data to use Google Maps.  You need Google Maps.  Trust me on this one.  Download the areas you will be visiting for offline use before your trip.  If you don't know how to do this, search the internet.  Do not try to navigate any of these cities without some assistance.  You will get lost.  Guaranteed.

That's about it, I think.  All in all, awesome trip!  If you are lucky enough to have Adrian as your tour leader, enjoy!  Your group plays a huge role in how much you enjoy this trip.  Make sure you contribute positively to the group.  Make friends.  Go out of your way to make sure others have a good trip as well.  Try new things.  Enjoy the tremendous scenery.  Know your limits but be willing to push them here and there.  Good luck and safe travels!

Outstanding experience!  A few tips and thoughts on Barcelona to Rome.

Barcelona to Rome

Our tour leader, David Peris, was excellent - he was incredibly helpful, fun and informative.

Our tour leader, David Peris, was excellent

I had a fall in the Spanish Pyrenees and David  Peris was extremely helpful - getting me down the mountain safely, taking me to the emergency department of a Spanish hospital and making sure that I understood about my injury and the treatment. He assisted me with.my luggage when necessary because of stairs  - my broken collarbone restricted my ability to carry my 10kg bag. The group was also very supportive but David enabled me to continue my journey with confidence and so I was able to participate in most activities and enjoy the travel I had planned so long ago.

Went on this trip with my wife and my sister. First off the positives.
Europe is quite different from North America. History is abundant, the Europe experience is really interesting. Visited many very historic sites, cities, monuments and many amazing structures such as the Colessium, Palletine hill, fountains, Leaning tower of Pisa, so many structures and areas it is hard to name them all, but all amazing. Overall the three week trip kept us busy and we learned much about past cultures.

Now the negatives 
Upon our first group meeting we met our guide, or so we thought as she informed us she was our "leader" not our guide. I never thought much of it at the time, but as the trip progressed I understood more what she meant.
Our "leaders" name was Lauren Nichols, young lady from England. To start off, Lauren was a very bad communicator. Our group was made up of seven people, and very rarely were we informed of what was going too happen during a day we were scheduled to travel. Our first travel day was when we left Rome to head to Luca I believe, We had never travelled on a train in Europe and did not know what to expect, Lauren did do a quick explanation of how to read the train schedule board, but this was while we were walking through the busy Rome terminal, there was no explaination what we were supposed to do with our luggage when we got on the train. Any questions that were asked were just either ignored or quickly answered so she didn't get bugged anymore. This pretty much was the case throughout the trip. We were basically forced to just follow her through terminal and city metros trying to keep up and not really know where we were going. Once we would arrive at our destination there was no direction as to how far we had to walk from the train stations to our accommodations, again follow and try to keep up while dragging your luggage through the streets. At no time did she ever make an effort to inform us as a group what the day travel would entail. Became very frustrating near the trips final week, very stressful when moving through big city train stations. Once we made it o our accommodations, it was a 15-20 minute turn around and we were expected to be ready to go for our orientation walk, which was as fast as she could make it so we could get to our "free time", more so she could get to hers. Any interesting sites we passed on these walks was quickly passed by and we told to go back on our own, even when the group was ok with stopping to take pictures, which everyone wanted to do. 
I my opinion, Lauren wanted to complete her duties as our " leader" as fast as possible so she could be on her own. When we were in Stressa we met her boyfriend who came to the hotel we were staying at and had supper with our group. 
As far as the accommodations I felt they were the cheapest possible options that Intrepid could come up with. In Luca there were five of us staying in one apartment, and my sister had to stay in the laundry room where a bed was placed, very under whelming for the cost of the trip. Our guide always had a room to herself, or was housed with the smaller part of the group. 

I myself will never use Intrepid again and will certainly NOT recommend this company to anyone. The guide and accommodations were the two issues that were very lacking, but overall the countries and sites were wonderful. If we ever return to Europe I would plan the trip ourselves, not that hard once we experienced it, and using a competent travel agent hotels would easily be done on your own.

The overall experience in Europe was favourable, some stress but we really enjoyed the month we were there, no thanks to our guide.

Best of Italy

I have traveled 4 times with Intrepid now and have found each time  very rewarding and great experiences
