I purchased tickets a day in advance just in case they filled up quickly. I purchased 2 adults and 1 child ticket. My son was so stoked to go on his first trolley ride (he's 6). We got a huge surprise when we pulled up to pick up our tickets and my son's local school bus driver (Terry) was going to be driving and giving us the tour today! Yay! What a treat! We got great seats on one of their brand new trolleys. Terry drove us around downtown Stillwater very carefully and we learned lots about this amazing lumber hub back in the day. We also got to drive by some historic and beautiful houses in Stillwater (north and south hills) with amazing views. We had a blast and I would highly recommend this as a great tour if you want to learn about the birthplace of Minnesota and take a break from walking Main Street. They also have some seasonal and other trolley offerings like princess story time or another seasonal spooky tour in October. Check it out!

We spent an unforgettable 10 days hiking the (express!) Inca trail to Machu Picchu and visiting Lima, The Sacred Valley, Aguas Calientes and Cusco. I could write 10 pages about how much we loved traveling with Knowmad so I'll try to stick to the highlights. My husband and I usually handle all of our own travel planning, but when we came across Knowmad while researching how to visit Machu Picchu we realized we would probably get a lot more out of a trip to Peru traveling with specialists from the country. This was 1000% true and working with Knowmad made planning our trip so easy and fun. Our travel specialists Renee and Shannon found a way for us to do everything we wanted to do (and so much more!) while staying within our budget. They were remarkably thorough with answering my countless questions and we could not have been more prepared for our visit, with very minimal effort on our end. Once we met up with our Knowmad guide, Fernando, in Cusco every day of our trip was amazing and we learned so much about the Inca culture and the Andes while having a ton of fun and going at our own pace. By the time we made it to Machu Picchu it was so much more meaningful because we had an understanding of what makes it such a special and mystical site. The Inca trail was absolutely breathtaking (and I'm not talking about the altitude ) and we couldn't have done it without Fernando as our fearless guide. He looked out for us every step of the way and made us feel like family throughout our time with him. Our trip wouldn't have been nearly so memorable without him. Another highlight was our e-bike ride through the Sacred Valley with our awesome guide Kirvi, who was so kind and on top of making sure we were safe and even getting some awesome photos and videos along the way. Our driver Abraham made us feel so welcome and kept us moving along and safe throughout our trip. The restaurants and hotels Knowmad arranged for us were excellent, and our picnic in the Sacred Valley and Pachamanca experience were unbelievable. Thank you Knowmad for making our trip such an incredible experience we will never forget!

We did (finally) find a date that worked but it was a few days after our Groupon expired. He let us go ahead and book the date with our deal anyway and just ran the Groupons that day to get his money. Awesome service there. We were pleased with this. Second, slight miscommunication. We weren't told where to go, so we drove to the office address listed on the Groupon - which was the business address and not the place the tour was taking place. We had to call to get directions after no one showed up at the business office. The ride itself was awesome. The Segways were a lot of fun,the initial training period was well done, and the trail in Stillwater was very scenic and a great choice. The actual activity was a blast and I would highly recommended everyone experience it. Our guide - Dave - was fun and gave a couple historical tidbits along the way. At the end though, Dave and the other guide asked for tips which I thought was incredibly tacky. If you want to say up front that gratuities are welcomed and there will be a tipjar at the end - then fine and leave it up to people to decide if they want to tip and how much. I can understand that. I don't know if tipping activity guides is really a thing, but you know, you can throw it out there. But that's not how it went. As we were unloading from our Segway units, Dave told each of us that the expected gratuity was $5 per person and we could pay him or the other guide. I think it's pretty bold (and tacky) to outright say a tip was expected, and then to actually specify a dollar amount. You could at least say it in a fun way if you're springing it on someone so they don't feel pressured - like "Hey if you had fun and maybe want to buy us a beer - you're welcome to throw a couple bucks our way in the tip jar". As we weren't expecting to tip, some of us didn't have cash on hand, and some of us didn't have change to break it down into $5's. We scraped together a couple bucks from the handful of singles we could scrounge up. If it were my business, I'd let people up front know that the guides could be tipped if desired and that the best thank you would be a positive review on social media and recommending your friends try it. The aggressive tip collection put a bad taste in my mouth on an otherwise fun day, and as a result I have a hard time recommending this company to anyone, which is too bad because the owner was great and the activity was fun.
