Great Hike, Unprofessional Tour Operator
AZ_M
, Jul 2022
Although I enjoyed the hike itself and my guide, Wilbur, was very knowledgeable and patient with me (I’m pretty unfit so it was challenging!), the tour operator was quite disorganized: pick up was late and while most tour operators send you a message the day before, giving you all the necessary details, I had to pester this tour operator from the afternoon and into the evening before, asking for details such as pick up time, what to bring etc. And picking me up from the train station after the tour was also a mess. It was an annoyance.

Great experience on this trail

The 2-Day Inca Trail is stunning and totally beautiful. First we got picked up from our hotel and received a lunch bag for the day on the trail. A drive took us to the train station where the Inca Train starts to Machu Picchu. It was a very nice experience seeing the landscape with this train. We stopped at km 104 where our tour guide Mauro waited for us. Special thank you to Mauro because he took great care of us and gave us a great time with his knowledge and insides in nature and history. From there you start the first part of the hike (3h) until lunch. This part is challenging because of the altitude and the amount of stairs until you arrive at a camp for lunch. We had to take a lot of breaks and you definitely have to be in good shape. The views alongside this trail are stunning. You are high up on the mountains. The second part of the hike (2h) is easier and equally beautiful. At the end you arrive at the sungade with beautiful views of Machu Picchu and the valley. At the end we took a bus from Machu Picchu station down to the small down of Machu Picchu Pueblo. There we had dinner included with Mauro and again a great time. Our hotel was also very nice. The next day we woke up early in the morning and took one of the first busses up to Machu Picchu. The views were stunning and Mauros tour was perfect. He gave us a great inside into the life and culture of the Inkas. After that we spend the rest of the day in Machu Picchu Pueblo. It has a lot of bars, restaurants and markets. A train took us back and from there a driver dropped us of at our hotel. It was an unforgettable experience and highly recommended.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
