Amazing experience - First the experience would not have been the same without our guide Jacob. Despite being the only ones who did not speak English he made the effort to explain everything in Spanish. He is a very nice person that we had very good times with him. We were infected by his sympathy, he also united us with the group as he translated what we did not understand and that we valued very much During Machupichu’s visit we were given a guide only for the two of us in Spanish to enjoy the experience more. We thank you very much. The food they prepare for you is delicious, I didn't expect to eat well halfway It is a mind-blowing experience that you pass through beautiful landscapes He cannot recommend more this Enterprise and especially to Jacob, to whom we took great affection

Jacob Diaz is a deadset ledge - Our guide Jacob Diaz is an absolute bloody legend! His guidance and help really made the trip for me. And he takes great photos too. AB are a professional outfit and big shout out to the chefs who put on the best spread for lunch Ive had in Peru. The hike to the sun gate is super rewarding, taking in my highlight of Winaywayna. Overall great experience. See you down under Jacob!

Adventure & unforgettable experience! - We did the two-day Inca Trail on September 7 and 8 and everything went excellently. Our young guide Raul guided us to the last detail: he gave clear explanations and also provided nice conversations along the way. He also helped us with taking photos & videos. On the first day we enjoyed a rich buffet lunch on the mountain, provided by a young chef (Samuel) – really fantastic! We noticed that this is not standard with such a trail, because some groups only received a simple lunch box. The dinner and hotel in Aguas Calientes were also of top quality. We thoroughly enjoyed the trail and it was an unforgettable experience. Thank you to AB Expeditions for the Excellent Organization and Service! 👍🏼

Amazing experience and amazing guides - We did the 2 day trek to Machu Pichu and it was incredible. Our lead guide Felipe and cook Samuel were the best we could have asked for. An amazing lunch at the halfway point on the first day. Would highly recommend this trip. Felipe is the best in the business and was a ton of fun to travel with and was very insightful explaining the deep history.

Trek Macchu-Pichu 2 days with family - We made the 2-day trek on the Inca road to Macchu-Pichu with our 2 children 7 and 9 years old. We slept in a tent and visited the citadel on the second day. Our guide Ricardo made our experience absolutely unforgettable. He was able to adapt to everyone's rhythm knowing that we were alone with him. We had health concerns beforehand and the whole team gave their all to help us realize this childhood dream. Special mention for the team of cooks and assistants, Samuel(Chief Cook), Bryan and Abraham: the meals were absolutely delicious, child friendly and food allergy friendly of two of us (gluten free without milk). In addition when you see the cooked meals, it is really an achievement as the variety and the dishes served are good and beautiful. The tents were comfortable and we had a very good night. Really pleased to have had the AB Expedition team with us for this adventure. Little extra mention also for the organization of the return because a strike blocked the train back, Ricardo coordinated everything and the driver even took us back in our AirBNB which was outside the city center. Congratulations to the whole team.

Wonderful excursion to Machupichu - We did the excursion with AB two days, Sacred Valley plus Machupichu. Everything was super well organized, from the Enterprise from the moment we hired everything from Spain by WhatsApp and from our guide Raul Angel who accompanied us in these two days and organized everything super well. We climbed Machupichu from the first, being able to enjoy the complex butt and the knowledge of our guide. Thank you very much for this great experience!

Two day tour Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Two-Day Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu Tour with Bernie We had the best experience with Bernie as our guide during our two-day tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with friends. From start to finish, Bernie went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we made the most of every moment. His knowledge of Incan history and culture is outstanding—he explained each site with so much detail, passion, and storytelling that it truly brought the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu to life. He organized everything so well that we never had to worry about logistics, timing, or tickets; we could simply enjoy the journey. What makes Bernie stand out is not just his professionalism, but his warmth and personal touch. He made sure everyone was comfortable, answered every question with patience, and even knew the best spots to take in the views. On top of all that, Bernie is an amazing photographer—he captured some of the most beautiful shots of our trip, a bonus we’ll always treasure. If you’re planning to visit the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, we can’t recommend Bernie enough. He made this trip truly unforgettable for us.
