10/10 experience

We just finished our tour with Mesias and it was amazing. The process was seamless, pick up was super easy, everything was planned out perfectly and very relaxing. Mesias was all around a great guide, experienced, knowledgeable, funny and entertaining. I would 100% recommend this exact tour to a friend and would do it again in a heart beat. Also, the hotel that they put us in was very nice and had great breakfast in the morning which was a huge plus. I recommend doing the hot springs too if you have extra time when you get back from the hike.

Fantastic Experience!

We are visiting Peru with a group of 5 friends & had an amazing time during the two days spent at Machu Picchu thanks to our exceptional tour guide Messias from Ali Peru Treks. We did the hike from KM104 to Sungate which was amazing followed by the next day with a visit to Machu Picchu Circuit 3. We had a blast! Our guide, Messias, is a great guy to have around with a good sense of humor & in depth knowledge on the trail & when visiting the Machu Pichu site

Mattias is the perfect tour guide - highly recommend.

This was a fantastic tour and I highly recommend it. The hike was moderate difficulty, we took it slow and made it up with plenty of time to spare. The Inca trail is safe and wide. They provided a large lunch, and organised everything (trains, buses, accomodation), which was fantastic. Our tour guide Mattias was very passionate about the history of Peru and the Incas and was the perfect tour guide. I’ve learnt so much about the area, which was beautiful.

Great experience for all experience levels

The best hike I’ve been on in my life, so beautiful! The family was very stressed about the altitude and difficulty particularly with parents over 60, but our guide took it slow and made it super achievable. Learnt a lot about every site and the history of the Incas, would greatly recommend doing this hike!!!

Mesias is the man! - Capital Timothy

Mesias was a phenomenal tour guide. Incredibly knowledgeable about everything and was able to keep a very long and often tough hike fun and light. This is by far the best tour. There are no fees and allows you to explore Machu Picchu without any worries. Mesias is the man, will definitely be recommending everyone to him.

Best Excursion Experience of My Life

The 2 day Inca Trail tour was incredible! Our guide, Fernando, was extremely attentive to our needs and went along the trail at our pace. He also was very knowledgeable and taught us so much about the Inca empire and history of the various archaeological sites. The experience overall was seamless between being picked up in Cusco to taking the train from Ollantaytambo and the hike as well as the second day. I would recommend this experience to anyone that wants a challenge and wants to get an immersive and profound experience. My wife and I had a great time and I think this experience is even doable for children above 5 or so years old. I cannot say enough good things. Ali Peru Treks is awesome!

Difficult hike turned doable!

Messiah was absolutely amazing! He even offered to carry my bag cause my back was hurting. He knows all the best photo spots and is basically a professional photographer! Hike was a little more difficult than I imagined, but Messiah made it doable! Thank you so much!

An Amazing Machu Picchu Experience.

This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Peru! Having a guide to facilitate the entire experience of Machu Picchu was worth it's weight in gold. My friend and I got particularly lucky that for our tour group, it was only us two and Mesias our guide. Mesias was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was very accommodating for all of the groups requests and let us stop to enjoy the scenery very often while keeping the hike to a good pace. He also was a good photographer any time we wanted our picture taken.
