This was my third trip with Ian Taylor Trekking, I climbed the Kilimanjaro on February 2020, Island Peak on 2023 and now Lobuche East led by Ian Taylor. Once again it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The team is incredibly professional, well-organized, and truly committed to making every trek safe, enjoyable, and memorable. From the guides to the support staff, everyone goes above and beyond. Each trip I’ve taken with them has been consistently outstanding, and this one was no exception. I always feel supported, well-prepared, and inspired. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and passionate trekking company, Ian Taylor Trekking is the one you can trust. Highly recommend!

I had an excellent experience on the Everest Base Camp trek ("Sleeping at EBC" itinerary). Ian Taylor Trekking expertly managed logistics from start to finish, and lead guide Pasang Lama and assistant guides Kaji and Mingma kept us safe, motivated, and entertained throughout. While the trek is a bit challenging, it's well within reach of most people with a bit of preparation and a desire to see some of the most beautiful scenery earth has to offer.

We completed the classic 5-day Inca Trail Trek, with Ian Taylor Trekking, on 10/31/25. The experience was truly incredible. From start to finish, every detail of the trek had been well thought out. Months before our trek we had great communication for the Ian Taylor team, ensuring a smooth process and that we were knowledgeable and understood the preparation needed to embark on a trek like this. Our group really appreciated the thoughtfully created 5-day itinerary. It meant we had 5 a.m. wakes-ups (instead of 2 a.m.) and that we were back at camp before dark. Our guide, Edson, made the experience for our group of four, ranging from ages 48 to 79! Edson's knowledge, kindness, and patience made the trip extra special- we felt very supported and well taken care of. His passion for the Inca culture and his knowledge of the trail really brought the trek to life. He was very attentive to our needs and did a great job leading the pace and encouraging the group on the steep climbs. The food on the trek was beyond anything one would expect. The chef and his team poured their hearts into creating meals that were not only delicious but also a work of art! Additionally, our group was impressed by Ian Taylor Trekking's commitment to the well-being of their porters. Our porter's seemed to carry lighter loads compared to some of the other groups. I trust the Ian Taylor team and would not hesitate to book another adventure, lead by this incredible team, again!

My first trek with Ian was with my dad & brother on Kilimanjaro, last summer. Could not have been better, which is why my dad and I decided to book another trip this year (Cayambe/Chimborazo). Every detail of this trek was executed with meticulous detail, so much so that it was hard figuring out how they do this with such consistency. The secret (or my best guess)? Their team has 20+ years of experience, and are constantly iterating to one up themselves. This expertise is not only in logistics, but also in mountaineering. I've been climbing mountains in Colorado for years, and Ian has taken my love for mountaineering to new heights (pun intended). After seeing the level of safety and attention to detail put into the technical aspects of these climbs, I am not going to do any other big treks with anyone else (looking at you, Aconcagua...) Thank you, Ian & Laura for living with intentionality and for putting in the work to give me experiences that I will never forget.

Wow, wow, wow — what an adventure! I summited Kilimanjaro two weeks ago with Ian Taylor Trekking, and they were absolutely outstanding. From start to finish, everything was meticulously planned to give us the best chance of success. The preparation, guidance, and communication before the trip was excellent, and once on the mountain, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. Our entire team made it to the summit — a testament to the planning and support we received. We saw other groups struggling with inadequate equipment or poor guidance, but our team, led by Amani and his assistant Moses, were fully prepared, properly equipped, and nothing short of fabulous. This was my second trip with Ian Taylor Trekking, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you want to summit Kilimanjaro safely and successfully, this is the company to go with. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was visiting a local orphanage supported by Ian Taylor Trekking. It was a humbling and unforgettable experience — if you get the chance to visit or donate, please do. After Kilimanjaro, we went on a four-day safari, again organized by Ian Taylor Trekking. Our guide, Edwin, was exceptional — knowledgeable, kind, and skilled at finding the perfect viewing spots. We visited three national parks, saw all of the Big Five, and enjoyed outstanding accommodation and food throughout. This trip was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Climb to the Roof of Africa with Ian Taylor Trekking — and if you can, visit the orphanage and experience the safari too. It was my second trip with these trekking experts, and it definitely won’t be my last. There’s no better company in my view.

Thanks Christine. Your support for the orphanage is greatly appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed the amazing dream team on Kilimanjaro and look forward seeing you on another trip soon.

This experience of hiking the Inca Trail from 82 to Machu Pichu was an incredible experience. Percy and Edison were incredible guides. The Porters and the Ian Taylor team were fantastic. Doing the Hike gave me an appreciation of how the area the Incas occupied worked together and a better idea of their traditions and lifestyle. Thank you for a fantastic trip. Sincerely, Brent & Stephanie Johnson

Thanks Brent. We are sorry glad you enjoyed the journey trekking to Machu Picchu. I know the guides really enjoyed trekking with your group.

Update! Completed my second trek with Ian Taylor Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp. Their team both domestic and abroad were all top notch. I would travel with them anywhere! Hoping Kilimanjaro will be my next one with Ian and team! Just returned from the classic 5-day Machu Picchu trek. I highly recommend Ian Taylor and his crew for this and any other trek that they offer! Our guides on the trail were top notch, very informative. Our chef prepared the most amazing and delicious food at all meals. Transports between airports and locations was smooth. And Laura was available to answer any and all questions prior to the trek. I am already looking at their other treks for next year! Can't give them enough praise and stars, highly highly recommend!

My recent trek to Annapurna Base Camp was nothing short of life-changing. I live in Colorado and am surrounded by beautiful mountains every day, but the Himalayas were on an entirely different level—absolutely breathtaking and beyond anything I have experienced before. The team from Ian Taylor Trekking made the journey unforgettable. Our guides were outstanding—always looking after us, keeping us well-informed about the trek, and bringing so much energy and positivity. Their morning stretches and sing-along sessions became highlights of the trip and set such a fun, supportive atmosphere. I also felt lucky to be surrounded by such a wonderful group of trekkers, which made the experience even more special. Everything came together perfectly: the scenery, the people, and the care from our guides. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I cannot recommend Ian Taylor Trekking enough. I’m already looking forward to my next challenge with them—the Inca Trail in Spring 2026!

I've been lucky enough to go on two trips with Ian Taylor Trekking - to Machu Picchu in Peru and to Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal. Both were incredible experiences and I can't say enough about how professional and organized Ian Taylor Trekking is from start to finish. Before each trip, I felt well-prepared thanks to their detailed guidance on training, packing and knowing what to expect with the well written dossier. Once on the ground, every detail was taken care of - from comfortable airport transfers and hotels to transport for the treks, meals, and coordination of transport our gear. They truly think of everything! What makes it even more special is that Ian Taylor Trekking is a small business run by Ian and Laura, who clearly pour their passion into every part of the experience. They've each completed these treks many times themselves and have refined every detail to make the journeys as smooth, safe and rewarding as possible. I was especially impressed with the coordination and communication with them leading up to the trips, as well as support throughout the treks with the local staff. If you're looking for an adventure that combines world-class trekking with thoughtful support and amazing cultural experiences, I can't recommend Ian Taylor Trekking highly enough!

I did the short Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu this September, which while hard, was also just right for my capabilities. The guides were very well informed of Inca and Peru history and provided outstanding narrative throughout the trip.

When I was much younger I attempted to climb Kilimanjaro. I did not have the proper gear or preparation and vomiting from altitude resulted in my not summiting. I always thought about trying again, this time with my 22 yr old son. An acquaintance recommended ITT. Ian and his wife Laura both spoke with us and answered all of our questions. They supplied us with a wealth of information including training, logistics, and gear/packing. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania everything was arranged. We were picked up at the airport and driven to our beautiful hotel. The next day they arranged for us to go on a coffee tour with a hike to a waterfall. That night we had a meeting with the guides to prepare us for the hike. I cant say enough good things about the hike. The tents were very roomy as we had 2 people in each 4 person tent. The food was so good we ended up not eating the snacks we brought. It was impressive to cook 3 hot meals a day on the mountain. At night they gave us hot water bottles to put in our sleeping bags to keep us warm. I really miss being spoiled by waking us up with "tent coffee" that we drank while still warm in our sleeping bags before we started the day. The guides were what got me to the summit. On my previous attempt only 40% of us reached the summit as compared to 100% of our ITT group. The head guide of our trip, Amani, was very professional and looked after every detail while Roland stuck with me on the final summit night hike encouraging me and helping me with my gear when the altitude threatened to take me out again. It was very emotional to say goodbye to the amazing group of guides, cooks, and porters that made my successful redemption hike possible.

We just returned from: (I) a successful summit of Kilimanjaro via an eight-day hike up the Lemosho Route; followed by (II) a safari to the Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks. All of it was organized and led by Ian Taylor Trekking (“ITT”). We had a fantastic time! The plans and guide teams on the mountain and on safari were exceptional — the best available, in my opinion. Highly recommended. I would hire ITT over any other guide groups out there! The pre trip training advice was invaluable. Mike

Ian and his team run a 5-star experience. I've been fortunate to summit both Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua with the ITT group and the trips were nothing short of extraordinary.

It was such an unforgettable experience to trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with Ian Taylor Trekking! They were professional and attentive. From the start, communication with the team was clear and helpful. They answered all questions and made it easy to prepare for the trip. Once the trek began, everything was well-organized, and I felt supported by the whole team. Our guides, Miguel and Edson, were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. They explained the history of the Inca Trail and pointed out interesting sights along the way. I felt safe and motivated the entire time, even on the harder hiking days. The porters and cooks worked so hard and made sure we had plenty of good food. The meals were delicious and gave us the energy we needed for the long days. By the end, the whole group felt like a small family. The final day at Machu Picchu was unforgettable. Our guide made sure we got there early to beat the crowds and explained so much about the site’s history. It really made the experience special. If you are thinking about trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu or are interested in a once-in-a-lifetime trekking adventure, I would highly recommend Ian Taylor Trekking. The team are caring, organized, and truly want you to have a great trip. I came home with amazing memories and new friends.
