EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH ADVENTURE HOLIDAYS PERU!!!!
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
I traveled to Cusco, Peru this past summer (June 2008). I emailed frequently with Vidal to arrange everything for our 4 day-3 night alternative trek that went from Cusco to Huchuyqosqo to Machu Picchu.
We were a group of 5 with two English-speaking tour guides, two porters, two cooks and several horses. I would strongly recommend the alternative trail because it is not overcrowded with tourists (we only saw another group of tourists once just passing by), the view is beautiful since it has not been overrun or destroyed by people/tourists. Although the website indicates that groups of 15 are usually taken, we were able to arrange for our own hike with only 5 people, so we had our personal "tour".

We had a wonderful time in Cusco/Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu, many
thanks to Vidal and AdventureHolidaysPeru. From the time we landed in Cusco, you basically took care of everything for us. The city tour
group you booked us into was awesome, it was a small group of 8 people or so, unlike other tour groups who were basically running full buses.
Inca trail hike was the best hike we ever did in our lives. Vidal, our guide, is extremely well read & knowledgable. His respect towards
nature and Inca culture is admirable(quite in contrast to some of the
guides you will come across in Machu Picchu who basically shout at the top of their voices to let themselves heard). Thanks a lot to Vidal for making this hike a memorable one.
We arranged a two day trek of the inca trail through Adventure Holidays Peru
two months before our trip. Vidal (our guide) was very helpful and prompt in
replying to our emails and questions about the trek and Peru in general.
When we arrived in Cusco, we met Vidal and he explained about the trek and
what we would be doing. Again he was very helpful and had good advice on
what to see and do in Cusco.
