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!

A few days prior to our trip, I realized our flight time was earlier, reached out to David to see if original pick up time would be okay and with his expertise, he recommend we leave a little earlier, which was much appreciated and he was able to quickly confirm change in pick up time. Day of, bright and early David was there just before our pick up time at 4:30am. He was personable, respectful and positive so early in the morning! Great conversation on the way there, spacious and super clean vehicle with plenty of room for just us two, but we know we can fit our family of six and luggage in his car for future trips. Highly recommend using Mr. nice guy for all your transportation needs

He had a great attitude, made sure we had a good time, and kept us safe-especially since there was a Twins game on the day of our adventure. I loved that this was BYO. We were able to make sure there was something for everyone. Although, they have a tap on the "bike" so you can bring a keg if that's your jam. I definitely recommend this as a cool activity.
