Valerie Cook

Back in October this year we had a fantastic time walking the Inka Trail to Muchupicchu with SAS Travel, the food was 5 star, and our guide Fredd second to none. SAS helped make a holiday of a life time, it not only met our expectations but exceeded them. We also took up your recommendation and did the 2 day tour of Lake Titicaca and this just built on the experience. When setting out on the Lake Titicaca tour the three of us never though we would be dancing in national costume at 3800 meters, so a very big thank you to you and your team who helped make our holiday so unforgettable.

Completed the 4 day 3 night Inka Trail. Amazing group, our guides Eder (very funny) and Havier were amazing hosts, they not only accommodated us in every way but also looked after us and kept us entertained. Eds knowledge was very useful. Our fantastic Chaskis (porters) were beautiful, very hardworking, humble men, always smiling. Our chef and sous chef prepared the most delicious and substantial meals, over feeding us. Definitely not what we expected. Would highly recommend. Thank you for the experience.

Anna Trebaczyk

Edder and Hernan were phenomenal guides, who had so much patience and humour to get us through the trek!!! We saw so many amazing things, llamas, snow capped mountains, and even a shooting star before we even got to Machu Pichu. I can not recommend SAS travel enough, you guys are legendary. Thank you sooooooo much for everything!

Lisa Parker

We had the experience of a lifetime! The Inca trail was magical and the service was outstanding on our trek August 5-8, 2014! Our guide, Felipe Salon, was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and supportive. He was the perfect guide and can't thank him enough!

The food the chef, Ricardo, cooked was fabulous! Wonderful hot meals 3 times a day exceeded our expectations. Our waiter and porter, Jose, was the sweetest and nicest man always making sure we were happy. All the porters were amazing! I can't believe the strength and dedication these men have and made it all possible for us to do this trek by carrying all our equipment and food! It was amazing watching them run up and down the mountain side with all that weight. Supermen!!!

We had a trip of a lifetime and SAS made it all possible! Thank you!

Cassie Hogan

AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE! Jimmy and Eric were our incredible guides on this fantastic journey. They were thoughtful guides who helped our group of 11 hikers bond right away. I can't emphasize enough how amazing the porters and chefs were- we had elaborate meals every day, and were always well-fed and hydrated. SAS did an exceptional job and it's clear that they are an elite company. Thank you for everything.

My friend and I hiked the Classic Inca Trail with SAS from May 18th to 21st. We also booked with SAS the Sacred Valley and Cusco tours and stayed at the Hotel Marqueses you recommended. Booking the trip, tours and hotel was very easy via e-mail as the SAS and hotel staff was very responsive.

The Inca Trail trek with your company was a superb experience. Your staff was very friendly and helpful. The porters did a great job carrying our group’s equipment and setting up the campsites. They made sure that our tents were always in a great location. The food was exquisite! I cannot compliment it enough. All our meals were delicious and consisted of a variety of freshly prepared dishes. There were six people in our group and the quality of food exceeded all our expectations. We were treated to a feast at every meal. Compliments to our cook!

I also cannot give enough praise to our guide Ruben. He was simply outstanding! He tended to all our needs, making sure that everyone was having great time throughout the trek. In addition to being very knowledgeable about Peru and the Inca culture, Ruben is simply a great guy: very polite with a great sense of humor! We all truly enjoyed his company and stories. When we were saying goodbye to him at our celebratory lunch in Aguas Calientes, we were saying goodbye to a friend.

The stay at hotel Marqueses was very pleasant. The hotel is in a convenient central location and has a charming local ambience. The staff was very helpful from the time we arrived in Cusco (they picked us up from the airport) throughout our stay. The breakfast at the hotel was also very good.

Thank you for organizing our Inca Trail trek and making it a very enjoyable and memorable adventure! Special thank you to Ruben, our porters and the cook! You guys are the best!

Gina Messisco

The best thing about our 4 day and 4 night Inca Trail hike was the excellent care and knowledge provided to us by our guides, Saul Palma Herrara, Paul Gibaja Tapia, Yoshiro Canal Ortiz, as well as the good food and service from the rest of the crew. We wouldn't have been able to have had such a memorable experience if it hadn't been for them. I couldn't imagine having a better Inca Trail guide has Saul who has done the Inca Trai countless times and has a special tie to Machupicchu since his dad took him there at the age of 6. He is a passionate and eloquent speaker who is obviously proud and extremely well - educated about Peruvian history. The Inca trail and Machupicchu is absolutely amazing on their own merit, but having such a great guide made the Inca sites come alive as only a truly gifted historian can do! Thanks again Saul, Paul, Yoshiro, and the rest of the SAS Peru travel company!

Allison and Carl Bauer

We had a fabulous trip with Ruben and Alex! They were the best guides. The food was amazing and the scenery was unforgettable!
Thank you for a wonderful trek to Machu Picchu!

Catherine

We had the MOST AMAZING trek. The food highly exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. The equipment was great, our porters were awesome. Other people we wold meet along the way that hired other tour company's complained and we kept hearing they were unhappy with their food, equipment, etc but not one person in our crew complained and we were so thankful we hired SAS. This is more than a vacation, it is an experience you will never forget.

Kathy & Tom

We finished our trip in South America the best experience was Peru specially the Inca Trail to Machupicchu city it is a big challenge, the team: porters,coordinator, cook and the amazing guides, Hilbert made this adventure an unforgettable experience I will recommend this company SAS travel to all my friends.Thanks...Peru country is a Paradise.
The survivers from Canada - no gain, no pain

PHILLIP FARRELLY

Thanks for a wondeful adventure in the mountains I learnt the Mother Earth(Pachamama) and the Sacred Mountains (Apus) are very important. The andean people (porters,cook,coordinator) are hard workers, all my respect...we had 4 wondeful days , the Inca trail is a fantastic experience...One more time...THANKS Hilbert and Jose

Thomas & Odile Jutte

SAS Travel organized our Sunrise tour of Machu Picchu, and also a classic tour of Colca Canyon from Arequipa. All went well and we had a great time. We were picked up at our hotel on time, our guides were very informative and did a great job taking care of the group. The hotel in Aguascalientes was basic but we did not mind since we spent such a short time in it. The food was good. We had plenty of time for pictures, and exploring on our own in MP. We highly recommend SAS Travel, and we thank them for a memorable experience in Peru.

Christine Shoemaker

This has been one of the most tough yet exhilarating adventures I have experienced. I am not a very experienced hiker but fit for my young (51 years) age.
The scenery and archaeological site visits where worth every step. It was amazing.
The physical effort was sometimes demanding but the food provided in the rest breaks was perfect ; delicious, nutritious and plentiful.
The team who supported us - Guide, Chef and assistants, and horseman, where just incredible, thoughtful and so well organised.
We had a person on our team who was challenged with Soroche/ Altitude Sickness and the Guide supported and cared for him in an experienced and considerate manner. Fortunately this trekker managed to continued safely and enjoy completing the adventure.
Thank you for organising such an incredible adventure that gave mean opportunity to discover more of beautiful Peru and more about me!
With much appreciation, Chris

Elise Usunier

Finished the 4D/3N Lares Trek last night and can barely even find words for how amazing it was. This trek has been the most exciting portion of my travels through Peru thus far as an ESL teacher, and I want to motivate anyone who may be apprehensive towards booking it to just DO IT!

I could clearly see where every dollar went and it was worth every penny.

Our guide, Christian, was incredibly knowledgeable, hilarious, and caring. Our chef, Ricardo, made the most fantastic meals I have had in Peru, and we were lucky to have them both on our trip. The porters paid attention to every detail, and went as far as rolling up our sleeping bags for us while we were haing breakfast, and setting up our tents comfortably before even arriving to our camp destinations.

Macchu Picchu of course was breathtaking, and the tour was incredibly inspiring and informational. The trek itself was challenging and fun, though TOUGH at some parts. If I can offer some advice, acclimatize for 3 days at least before beginning this trek.

Once again, book with SAS. I can confidently say that I will book my future endeavors with them and will recommend to all of my friends and family to do the same.

Thanks for an awesome trip SAS!

Amy Hine

Our trip was an unforgettable experience that was only heightened by the two wonderful guides (Ruben and Michael) that lead our tour! There was not a dull moment or a time when anyone in our group felt discouraged. The authentic and meaningful stories helped teach history along the way; the constant jokes and banter made us all laugh on a regular basis; and the patience and understanding for those in our group who were a little slower. Big shout out to Mike who spent every trek helping one of our group members make it up and down every step and encouraged her every time she needed a break. He was always happy and excited regardless if it was 9pm or 4am really made the whole trip more than an experience. Thanks to our guides for a completely perfect excursion!

Liz Hoffmann

This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life!
Thank you SO much Robyn, the office staff and most of all Edward - the EXCELLENT guide and his associated cook and porters! (how did they do it!)
It was one of these experiences that could have gone SO wrong! The others booked on the trip were sick and so it was only me left to go- AND SAS RAN THE TRIP FOR one person!
I cant thank them enough for the experience.
On the trail Edward was so supportive and helpful. I had trouble with the altitude (which I hadnt anticipated) - without him I wouldnt be able to say "I did it!"
I learnt SO much about the Inca people and their beliefs- had so many encounters with the locals in villages and now have a mind full of marvelous pictures of great vistas and experiences. All the other reviews I have read tell of the passion of the guides for their culture and surroundings and I can only endorse this!
Thank you all SO much for such an experience - I include the staff of the Marqueses in this!
If anyone else is reading this and making up their mind to go - DO IT with SAS!

We hiked the Inca trail from 1st - 4th August and it was the highlight of our holiday in Peru.

Our guides Freddy and Henry were amazing, and made sure that everyone had a great time. They were extremely knowledgable and passionate about the Inca civilization and we learned a lot. They were very patient, motivating us when the going got tough and they were also great fun.

Our team of porters, led by Walter, was absolutely fantastic - they looked after us so well. The food, prepared by Julio and Raymondo, was super-delicious.

A huge thank you to the whole team, including the staff in the SAS office and the Hotel Marqueses.
We had a brilliant time, a truly unforgettable experience. Muchas gracias

Sharon Hogan

We had an absolutely amazing experience of the Inca trail with SAS travel. The chef, chatskis and our guides Eddie and Henry were absolutely amazing. Professional in everything they did which made our trip more enjoyable. Eddie was a great leader, witty and passionate about the historical and cultural impact of the Incas! Henry was caring, kind and always helping out others.

I would thoroughly recommend SAS for a wonderful Inca trail experience!
