The most incredible experience of my life
I did the 10-day tour with Sam's Travel, which was broken into three parts.
Cusco - Sacred Valley - Tour Guide - Ray
4-day Inca Trail - Tour Guide - Jose
Puno and Lake Titicaca - Grober
Each section was beyond by wildest dreams. Sam's Travel took such amazing care of my daughter and me. Super responsive and assisted with everything we needed.
Then our GUIDES!!!! Holy crap, each one was unique and fantastic. They knew their information and I came home with so much knowledge regarding the Incas. I feel truly blessed.
Ray was funny and quick witty (which we loved) and created the most creative videos of our experience. We will treasure these forever. I would highly recommend trusting him with helping you hold on to your memories.
Then there was Jose; this man was my rock!! I could not have finished the Inca trail without him. He had the most gentle energy that provided me the assistance I needed to have confidence I could finish the most difficult hike of my life. (Weirdly enough we had to hike through SNOW, which doesn't happen very often) He also is a mad scientist with a camera and takes the most incredible still shots. (Again memories for a lifetime)
Then there was grober, this man was incredibly cute and took care of us constantly. He helped us navigate our homestay and the island of Lake Titicaca.
Now, the true superheroes of our trip, the group of men who carried everything from our food to our tents and sleeping bags during our 4-day hike. OUR PORTERS!!!! (They even carried everything through ice and snow)
Julio Cesar (Our cook) - Who's fantastic food kept us nourished, so we could survive the Inca Trail. He served us 4-course meals three times a day, with only a portable stove! (Including a cake!!!)
Elias
Leonidas
Dionicio
Ijidio
Basilio
Anselmo
Teodoro
Damaso
Jesus
Nieves
This company treats its employees with such respect, and it shows. Because these men loved what they did and made us feel incredibly special, I will never be able to thank them all enough for giving my daughter and me the most fantastic vacation of our life.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.
