EXCELENTE A base de 142 reseñas Burcu D2025-04-17Verificada A good, trustworthy, professional experience for solo travellers I was a very last minute customer for them yet they arranged everything for me. As a solo traveller, it is always a bit bumpy if you are visiting a country like Peru, where most of the people don’t know English, and I do not know Spanish :) i felt like somebody that I trusted took my hand and created me a life time experience without any delays or problems. From the moment that I landed in Cusco, throughout the Inka temples in the city and till the morning sunrise in Machu Picchu… I was blessed and Abraham & the team were just always there to support me. All my messages were handled just in time, every question was given a full answer with a positive attitude. Thank you, for making my sudden solo trip an amazing life time experience 🤍🙏 Explorer661735587382025-04-09Verificada recommend Life Expeditions I recommend Life Expeditions, the service was extremely courteous, professional and pleasant.

Victor A2025-01-15Verificada Family Trip to Machu Picchu We recently returned from a trip to Bolivia and Peru. The Peru portion of our trip was a gift for our son who is graduating from college this summer. Because our flight back to the US departed from La Paz, Bolivia in early January, time was tight to squeeze a trip to Cusco on the last days of December and early January. Luckily for us a friend connected us with Life Expeditions. Together, they arranged a travel itinerary that made the most of our limited time. From the time we arrived in Cusco (12/30) to our tour throughout the City the next day and from Machu Picchu (MP) the day after and to the last hour of the last day of our stay in Cusco (01/02), the itinerary unfolded without delay. The day in MP was truly an experience. Mother Nature (Pachamama) gifted us with a day without rain. Something rare during this time of the year. Our tour guide in MP (Katia Duran M.) was first-rate. Born and raised in the area, she provided a unique perspective of what MP truly meant for the locals. She regaled us with her undivided attention, expertise, kindness and wisdom. Thank you Katia!We were blown away by the grandeur and beauty of MP. Likewise, the City of Cusco (Casco Viejo) with its unique architecture and color offered a daily glimpse of how life might have been in the times of the mighty "Inkas" and later during colonial times. We vowed to return to Peru in the next year or two to visit some other amazing sites in the area and other parts of the country. When we do, we will turn to Life Expeditions for another memorable trip. Thanks Abraham, Melissa, Katia, and Javier for the memories! Emilia A2025-01-10Verificada Amazing experience!! If you are thinking of booking with Life Expeditions, I 100% recommend you do!! They are a wonderful company, genuinely local and small scale, so they focus on each person to ensure you have the best experience.From the first time we contacted Abraham to organise the tour, he was super kind, helpful and quick to respond. He even gave us tips for the rest of our time in Peru!The trek itself was amazing. Our guides Vincente and Cesar were outstanding, they made the whole experience better than I could have imagined. They were attentive and caring to every need from everyone in the group (they truly went above and beyond), they shared their rich knowledge about the land, the history and the culture, and they were fun to walk and hang out with! The porters and the chef were also extremely impressive. Everything ran smoothly, the food provided (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was abundant, varied and delicious! We went in the rainy season which was low season and it was worth the little bit of rain because we had the trail to ourselves most of the time, so we could really appreciate the full views, the calmness and take our time.Finally, the Classic Inca Trail is gorgeous. Each day is different, the landscape changes are stunning, the walk is challenging and very rewarding, it is a privilege to walk that path. I hope one day I can come back!! Jason Χοχωλης2025-01-10Verificada Great experience, walk and guides The trail and walk is an amazing experience - the landscape changes as you get close to Machu Piccu with each day hike very different to one another. I loved the variety and views and can see how it is a sacred and spiritual pilgrimage. The tour guides Vincent and Cesar were great! Knowledgeable about the history and local fauna, always taking time to talk make sure everyone was comfortable with the pace and feeling good on our walk. The guided tour of Machu Piccu and each Inca site was very interesting and just added to the whole experience. Food - camping and experience of each night was very accommodating and I cannot believe they cooked such amazing variety of food with so little. Delicious and local food every meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner.Overall I would recommend Life Expeditions for the experience and I will be coming back to try Saltankay or one of the other trails in the near future!

Un lugar maravilloso 😊 la agencia es espectacular nos atendieron muy bien, nos vamos super contentas, con ganas de volver Zaki Data2025-01-04Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Ame ! Hicimos un tour de 7 días como familia (incluso llevábamos una bebe abordo). Nos cuidaron desde el momento 0 al llegar al aeropuerto. Siempre acompañados de nuestro conductor Adrián, nuestro guía fran y obviamente el señor Abraham pendiente de todo. La comida con la que algunos tours venía incluida estaba deliciosa, se acomodaron a nuestro ritmo (ritmo bebé) y nos ayudaban a lograr las largas caminatas con buenos chistes y mucha información valiosa. No tuvimos que preocuparnos por NADA. Todo, todo lo gestionaron ellos. Agradecida enormemente con su dedicación y amor a enseñar todo. Nuestro tour fue: 1. City tour 2. Montaña 7 colores y valle rojo (un adicional que no teníamos pensado pero nos llevaron allí) 3. Valle sagrado 4. Maras moray 5. Machu Picchu 6. Laguna humantay Lo más lindo es que habían cosas que no estaban en el tour y nos llevaron para aprender más. Sin duda la mejor agencia de viajes Grace Mtunguja2024-11-18Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. My friend and I took this tour in October 2024 and it was amazing! The food was very good and the porters did an amazing job setting up camp for us and arriving early to prepare everything for us before we arrived after each day's hike. Our guide Joel was also very nice and funny. I was the slowest one in the group and he also waited with me and kept me company. The tents were spacious and they also gave us coca tea every morning which was very nice The only "bad" thing I would say is the tour company mentioned to us multiple times that we should give tips to the porters (which is obviously a given), but what I found weird is that they gave us a "suggestion price" of how much we should give. I have never had someone tell me how much I should give for a tip so it felt a little uncomfortable. Also the last day when we gave the tips to the porters the whole execution was really weird and uncomfortable because they counted the tip amount that my group and I gave in front of us and the porters. Overall my experience was amazing and I would highly recommend. Also I definitely recommend getting Joel if possible (: גילעד קיש2024-10-12Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I booked the Salkantay trek and rented sleeping bags through the agency. They were very helpful, answering all our questions and being available on WhatsApp. The sleeping bags were great for the trek. Adi Amit2024-09-20Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I went with Life Expedition agency to the classic Inca trail of 4 days. It's my first time trekking so I didn't know what to expect. And it was amazing! The entire organisation of the equipment, and the quality of it. The food was delicious and super creative (thanks to Angel the chef and the porters), the guide was very professional and nice and you can tell that he has passion to his job. Abraham was available to all of my questions and was very kind. The group was small (4 people) which was also really nice and cozy, like a small family. I truly recommend to do the Inca trail and not just go to Machu Picchu, and to do it with this agency!
