Jimmy guided us with fun and a lot of competent information about nature and the awesomeness of the sacred valley and MachuPicchu along the last 12km of the Inca Trail. He took great care of our well being especially in the most difficult parts of the hike, giving confidence in accomplishing them. Upon arrival on MachuPicchu he took us to the best views and gave very helpful insights for our individual exploration. We can highly recommend his services.

Mi experiencia junto a Jimmy y su equipo fue sinceramente excepcional. Durante todo el paseo estuvieron pendientes de nuestras necesidades (transporte privado, seguridad, información, dedicación, nos crearon una ruta de forma que aprovecháramos al máximo el tiempo, etc) y simplemente convirtieron estas vacaciones en momentos inolvidables. Superaron ampliamente las expectativas mias y de mi familia. Altamente recomendado Silvia Lozano2025-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
