点评:I contacted SAM Travel directly approx 8 months in advance to book the short Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu for my 50th birthday.
The typical tour is a return from Cusco, but we were staying in Ollantaytambo so I requested to join the tour from Ollayantambo and finish in Cusco.
Booking went very smoothly and over the coming months both Nicole and Edison were very responsive to any questions I had such as how my main luggage would be collected from Ollantaytambo and be ready for our return to cusco.
The night before our tour, our guide Juan contacted me to discuss the logistics for the following day. Upon arrival at the train station Juan recognised us immediately (I sent him a picture of us) and ensured that we were comfortable with the itinerary.
We were booked onto a group trip but to it turned out to be just my husband and I. Juan was absolutely amazing, He made our trip an unforgettable experience and we could not have asked for a better guide.
During the trek, Juan allowed us to walk at our own pace so that we could enjoy the scenery and manage the altitude. He explained the history of the Incan ruins and Machu Picchu in great detail and was very attentive to our needs.
He made sure that our overnight bags were waiting at the hotel in Aguas Calientes for our arrival after the trek and he also ensured that our main luggage was collected from Ollantaytambo and was on the bus with us back to Cusco.
Upon arrival in Cusco, Juan even made sure that we got checked into our hotel ok before eventually we had to say our sad goodbyes.
We cannot thank Juan enough for giving us the best experience and we would highly recommend him as a guide.

翻译:我在大约8个月前直接联系了SAM Travel,打算为自己的50岁生日安排一次短途的印加古道徒步之旅,前往马丘比丘。
通常这种旅行的路线是从库斯科出发再返回,但我们当时住在奥扬塔坦博,因此我请求参加从奥扬塔坦博出发、最终抵达库斯科的行程。预订过程非常顺利。在接下来的几个月里,Nicole和Edison对我提出的任何问题都回复得非常及时,比如我的主要行李将如何从奥扬泰坦博被取回,并确保在我们返回库斯科时能顺利拿到行李。
旅行前一天晚上,导游Juan联系我,与我们商量第二天的行程安排。到达火车站后,Juan立刻认出了我们(我事先给他发了我们的照片),并确认我们对行程安排感到满意。我们原本报名的是团体旅行,但最终只有我和丈夫两个人参加。胡安真的棒极了!他让我们的旅程成为了一段难忘的经历,我们实在找不到比他更出色的导游了。
在徒步过程中,胡安允许我们按照自己的节奏行走,这样我们既能欣赏沿途的风景,也能适应高海拔环境。他详细讲解了印加遗址和马丘比丘的历史,还时刻关心着我们的需求。他确保我们的过夜行李包在徒步结束后能出现在阿瓜斯卡连特斯的酒店里;他还安排人从奥扬泰坦博取回我们的主行李,并随我们一同乘坐巴士返回库斯科。
抵达库斯科后,胡安还亲自确保我们顺利办理酒店入住手续,之后我们才依依不舍地与他道别。
对于胡安为我们带来的绝佳体验,我们感激不尽。我们强烈推荐他作为导游。
“Tupananchiskama。”胡安!感谢你所做的一切。
