"What an incredible trip!! We didn't realize how difficult it would be to secure tickets to Machu Picchu (Circuit 1) even though we tried to book 6 weeks in advance. Since we really wanted to see the citadel from the Sun Gate, we had to book the Inca Trail adventure. I found AAT via a Google search and their reviews were stellar! Their US based contact was a strong selling point as well. Jacquie was a WEALTH of information and really put our minds at ease regarding the intensity of the hike and our stay in Cusco. We also booked the Pisac day trip with AAT - Vidal and Jorky (guide & driver) were absolutely wonderful! Vidal's knowledge of Peruvian culture and history really made the trip interesting. This was our first time utilizing a small-group, private tour and I can definitely say it was worth the added expense. Thank you so much for making this adventure so memorable!!"

"I would absolutely do another tour with Adios Adventure Travel in the future. They were excellent to work with for booking, communicative and informative with emails to help us pack and plan for the trip, and our guide, Vidal, was incredibly professional throughout, even when the circumstances took unexpected turns. It was completely worthwhile to have a guide for just the three of us traveling together"

"Vidal was an outstanding guide for our visit to Machu Picchu! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history and culture of this remarkable place. He explained the site in a way that brought the ruins to life, while also giving us plenty of time to take everything in and enjoy the experience. What really stood out was Vidal’s warmth, patience, and attention to detail. "

"I used Adios Adventure Travel to arrange a private 2 day hike to Machu Picchu for 3 people. It was great. They helped with the logistics so much. We planned early in January for an August trip and they helped use decide which circuit tours and hikes to take. I found that Machu Picchu can be logistically very challenging. I was so glad we had a guide. We were in Ollantaytambo when there was fire near Machu Picchu which closed down the train for almost 24 hours. Our guide Vidal negotiated new tickets for a later train, saught out back-up options for hotels and driving to Machu Picchu just in case the delay cotninued, and made sure we felt informed in a confusing situation. Though we missed the km 104 hike through the sun gate, we had amazing second and third days. We were so lucky to work with the manager Vidal who gave us a wonderful Circuit 3 tour and made sure we got to do the Huanyna Picchu hike. He was so great with my friend who was having altitude sickness in making sure she got to have a fulfilling experience though she was not at her best. We had trouble with the internet and digital tickets for the bus and our Day 3 Circuit 2, and he made sure we got printed tickets before he departed. Vidal just made everything easier. He was relaxed, calm, reassuring, and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed his company. Overall Adios did a great job at preparing us in advance and helping us face the unexpected challenges of this amazing destination. Their website has tons of useful information. I would hire them again in a second."

"We had such a great experience with Vidal, our guide! His English was excellent, and he shared so much fascinating information not only about Machu Picchu, but about Incan history and culture more broadly. He was also extremely helpful beyond the tour itself. He arranged our rides in Cusco back from the train station, handled the payments, and took care of all the little logistical details that made our trip much easier. Most importantly, he was just a genuinely enjoyable person to spend the day with. "

"Jacquie Whitt of Adios Adventure Travel put together a great custom trip for our group of 7 that included Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Cusco and Rainbow Mountain. Our guide, Hubert, was wonderful - very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with luggage, trekking poles, handling entrances to the sites, taking us to or recommending restaurants. Would recommend this company to anyone contemplating a trip to Machu Picchu."
