An unforgettable experience made extraordinary by an incredible team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve just completed the 4-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with View Signature, and it was, without question, one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. The trek itself is simply spectacular. The scenery, the history, the changing landscapes and, of course, the magical moment of arriving at Machu Picchu are things we’ll remember forever. But let’s be clear — this is no walk in the park! Day 2, climbing to Dead Woman’s Pass, was one of the toughest physical challenges I’ve ever experienced. There were moments when I genuinely questioned my life choices! However, throughout what was an incredibly demanding day, we felt exceptionally well looked after. The guides were attentive, reassuring and encouraging, making sure we were comfortable and supported every step of the way. Their care made a huge difference, particularly when the altitude and physical effort really started to take their toll. What truly made this experience exceptional was the extraordinary View Signature team. A huge thank you to our fantastic lead guide Sebastian, and assistant guides Elisban and Bruce. Their knowledge, professionalism, warmth and genuine care were outstanding. They struck the perfect balance between encouraging us to push ourselves and ensuring we felt safe and supported. We couldn’t have asked for better people to guide us through such an incredible adventure. Special recognition also goes to Adolpho, our wonderful waiter, who looked after us so well throughout the trek, and our brilliant head chef Nemessio and chef Sergio. The food was absolutely incredible, especially considering we were trekking through the Andes! The quality, variety and presentation of the meals were remarkable. And an enormous thank you to Carlos, our head porter, and the entire porter team. These guys are the unsung heroes of the Inca Trail. Their strength, hard work and dedication are simply extraordinary. They make the whole experience possible, and we have enormous respect and gratitude for everything they do. What could easily have been just another bucket-list adventure became something so much more because of the people we shared it with. We finished the trek completely exhausted, incredibly proud and genuinely emotional. Arriving at Machu Picchu after four days of trekking was an experience unlike anything else, and worth every single challenging step. Would we recommend View Signature? A thousand times yes! If you’re considering the Inca Trail, do it. Train for it, prepare for the altitude, embrace the challenge and, most importantly, choose a team who will make the experience as special as the destination itself. Thank you, Sebastian, Elisban, Bruce, Adolpho, Nemessio, Sergio, Carlos and the entire View Signature team. You’ve given us memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. ❤️

A once in a lifetime trek

My husband and I did this trek with a two fold purpose. 1.) We are investigating this option to offer our clients as part of their Spanish Immersion program in the future. 2.) And to celebrate both our 50th birthdays and or anniversary. The Lares trek, the care of the team and the communication and organization pre-trip were amazing. Adrian was the best guide- so personal, so knowledge, relatable and fun. Doris was a pleasure to work with before the trip as she answered many of our logistical questions. Our food prepared by Celio, Ciriaco and Hilario was amazing. To have gourmet food on the trail with an amazing presentation was unreal. We commented that the food on the trek was better than some meals we had in restaurants in Cusco. We were so impressed with our tent set-up; personal notes on our bed, flowers and cozy blankets. We often go camping and backpacking at home and are used to very rustic accommodations including going to the bathroom in the wilderness. To have a portable toilet was a first and so comfortable. We felt very spoiled. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! And I cannot emphasize enough how amazing Adrian was. Keep him around!!!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review!

Doris, Celio, Ciriaco, Hilario, and the entire team will also be happy to know that their dedication, delicious gourmet meals, and thoughtful touches made you feel so comfortable and cared for.

The BEST guides! True luxury on the Inca Trail!

Our trip with View Signature Travels was an absolute dream come true! The entire crew including our guides Harry & Eber, our coordinators Doris & Ronald, our driver Christian, our masseuse Aydee, our cooks and server Fausto, Sergio and Josue, and all of our porters were nothing short of incredible. Having read other reviews I knew View was going to provide a supportive, comfortable, luxurious and memorable experience but they still exceeded expectations!! The entire trip, start to finish, was personalized and executed flawlessly. View had everything covered: no extra fees, no haggling, no worries. We did a 4 day Inca Trail trek to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and they made every moment feel special. Maybe this sounds too good to be true - in some ways it was! It felt like a complete break from the daily grind of “real life” as we hiked through the Andes, above the clouds and in the footsteps of the Incas. It was the trip of a lifetime and I wouldn’t change a thing. Next time we travel to South America I’m not going to bother doing any research, my trip planning will start and end with the view team. Thank you View Family!!!

Experience of a Lifetime

Absolutely — I’d make it warm and personal while highlighting that you did the trek solo and felt supported throughout. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Machu Picchu/Inca Trail adventure with View Tours was absolutely incredible! I did this trek solo, and from start to finish, I felt safe, supported, and incredibly well guided by the entire team. My guides, Adrian and Bruce, were the most professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging guides I could have asked for. They made the challenging moments easier and made the entire experience feel personal and special. The meals were another highlight — honestly, the food was gourmet and incredibly high quality, especially considering we were hiking! And Luz’s massage services were the highlight of every evening after a long day on the trail. It was exactly what I needed! Every member of the staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Traveling solo can sometimes feel intimidating, but I never felt alone or unsafe. I always knew I had an amazing team supporting me. And then, of course, there was Machu Picchu! 🇵🇪🥾⛰️ Reaching it after completing the trail was an unforgettable experience and one I will treasure forever. I cannot say enough good things about View Tours and their entire team. If you’re considering the Inca Trail — even if you’re traveling solo — I highly recommend View Tours. They made an incredible adventure even more memorable! ❤️ If you’d like, I can also  make this a little more emotional and impressive for a Google review, so it sounds less like a generic tour review and more like a genuine personal experience.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re thrilled that your solo Inca Trail adventure was so memorable and that you felt safe, supported, and cared for every step of the way. Adrian, Bruce, Luz, and the entire team will be honored by your kind words.

Reaching Machu Picchu is a moment to treasure, and we’re grateful we could be part of yours. Thank you for trusting View Tours with your adventure and for recommending us to fellow solo travelers. We hope to welcome you back to Peru again!

An Epic Experience

This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Starting with Doris, who was our initial contact for information and booking, there was no detail left off. Our head guide, Tomas, was a wealth of knowledge from biology, botany, birding, and history. Oh, and his “dad jokes” were on point! Jorge and Edwin were our assistant guides and are on their way to being head guides. All were very friendly and patient with us. They were in tune to our abilities and kept us on a good pace. In camp, the staff and porters were amazing. Aydee (masseuse), Wilfredo (head chef), Elias (sous chef), Adolfo (waiter), Fidel, Paulino, Hermenegildo, Victoriano and the full team of porters were incredible. We were fed generously and deliciously. Our tent and bed were very comfortable. The hot shower availability was so nice. We chose the option to ride back to Cusco on the Hiram Bingham train which was a fabulous end to our journey. A luxury gourmet meal followed by a raucous time in the bar car with drinks flowing and a live band that got the whole car dancing. If you are on the fence about whether to book or not, just do it! You will not be disappointed.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review!
