David was an artful guide sharing the love of his culture and its rich history. He was able to engage each adult as well as our inquisitive and challenging teens. His positive energy was infectious and he was able to gauge the unique needs of our group. He was an integral part of a trip we will never forget! Peru is amazing

An incredible experience! Saw several Incan sites and learned a ton about their history and culture, while also having plenty of time for a moderately challenging hike thru the Andes + exploring Machu Picchu and towns along the Urubamba river. We were happy we picked this tour instead of the full 4-day trek, and also glad we went with a smaller/local company instead of one of the larger corporate outfits that schleps around enormous groups.
Booking the trip was seamless and the company’s reps were extremely communicative and helpful in ironing out specifics. Our tour guide, Rom, was absolutely phenomenal — deeply passionate and knowledgeable about all things Inca (he’s basically a walking encyclopedia), and was a blast to just hang with. Struck the perfect balance of engaging w/o being overwhelming, and nailed the timing of each exhibit to avoid the busiest crowds.
10/10, could not recommend more highly.

I highly recommend this company and tour.
David was very helpful with making the arrangements and following up to ensure that everything would run smoothly once we arrived.
Once we arrived, Sandro met us at the airport to start our journey and made us feel right at home.
He was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
I have already and will continue to recommend Andean Path to anyone who wants to see Cusco and Machu Picchu!
5 stars!!

Our three day Sacred Valley + Inca Trail + Machu Picchu private tour with Andean Path Travel was fantastic! David helped answer all of our questions that we had prior to arriving in Peru, and then came to our hotel in Cusco on a prior evening for a brief and helpful orientation. He also provided a duffel bag for our use that he transported between the Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes hotels so we didn't have to carry our clothing and toiletries on the one day Inca Trail hike which was much appreciated!
Our guide was Ron and he was great. He is from a village near Ollantaytambo and is extremely knowledgeable about Incan history and culture. Since my wife mentioned an interest in flowers, he also took the time to point out many of the different types of flowers along the Inca Trail.
The Sacred Valley Tour was great and the Inca sites at both Pisac and Ollantaytambo were very impressive. The provided buffet lunch was delicious and in a very nice setting. We had some free time to explore around Ollantaytambo in the late afternoon.
The one day Inca trail hike provided wonderful views almost continuously along the trail. The first half (~3 miles) is mostly uphill but we found the ascent to be very manageable although we stopped to catch our breath plenty of times. The ruins at Winay Wanya are a nice reward after the uphill. From Winay Wanya, the second half of the hike is mostly level and downhill. The views of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate and descending on the trail are unbeatable and we were able to visit the upper portion of Machu Picchu when we arrived which is where the attached photo together with Ron was taken.
On the third day, we visited the main portion of Machu Picchu and ascended Huayna Picchu mountain. Although the hike is steep, the views along the way and at the top are incredible of both Macchu Picchu and the surrounding mountains and valleys. I would recommend adding the Huayna Picchu option if you book early enough. We returned back to Aguas Calientes and took the train to Ollantaytambo where a driver picked us up and took us back to our hotel.
Andean Path Travel is a local Peruvian company and they did a great job with everything, we highly recommend them!

I'm totally excited about this tour. Everything was so perfect and so different compared to what we heard from others.
Our guide (Ronald) was an ongoing Wikipedia, explained us so much and had an answer for every question (and we asked a lot) and was a wonderful company during this tour. The food and the hotels were also very qualitative. I can hardly believe that we got such a great service for the price.

I cannot put into words how incredible this trip was. From top to bottom, the people, the food, the sights and the physical aspects--all more than I ever could've imagined. I have nothing but great things to say about both our guides, David+Rom, porters and the chefs.

We completed the 3 day, 2 night excursion including sacred valley, Machu Picchu, hiking 7 mile Inca trail, and Hiking waynapicchu mountain! This was a great way to see a lot in a short amount of time. Our tour guide, Ron, was very knowledgeable about Inca culture. It was very helpful to have someone with us to organize all the hikes, tickets, buses, trains, hotels, food etc! The hiking is strenuous so wouldn’t recommend if you’re not normally active. Wayna Picchu was an add on and would recommend this! Steep uphill climb rewards you with an amazing vantage point of Machu Picchu. We also enjoyed staying in Machu Picchu town- seems to always be lively with great culture, markets, and food! The hotels were just average, but we were barely there so didn’t matter. This excursion was difficult to pack for but best recommendation would be to wear layers. At one point I was in a tank top and the next part wearing a fleece and jacket. Pants and a hat would be best at all times. If you want a taste of the Inca Trail but not up for the 4 day hike I would recommend this alternative!

16 of us did the 4 day Inca Trail to MACHU PICCHU. David and Rom were the best tour guides we could have possibly asked for. Their knowledge of the history, flora and wild life was amazing. All the details of the hike were well planned out and all we had to do was show up with the energy to hike and carry our basic needs. David's amazing team of porters and chief kept as well fed (amazing food) and set up our tents each evening. Hiking was all we had to worry about, everything else was taken care of down to snacks and clean water. I highly recommend Andean Path Travel for anyone considering Hiking the Machu Picchu trail. Very professional company.
David also is a great tour guide for things to see and do around Cusco
