Well executed and planned trip
It’s a great and memorable experience with lifelong memories to cherish. Rafael, our guide, is historian as well so have wealth of knowledge about each and every topic regarding our trip. Rafael has great sense of humor and knows how to lead the group during challenging times. Our chef, Rene, is an amazing chef and whole team was very supportive. I’m thankful for this experience. I highly recommend them. 🙏🏻🤗😊

Unforgettable Adventure with First Step Expeditions
Jun 2024 • Solo
I recently completed a 10-day tour including 4-day Inca Trail with First Step Expeditions, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide was incredibly helpful, providing insightful information about the history and culture of the region, which enriched the journey immensely.
