SAM Travel Peru hosted our MP tour. We intended to hike the 2 Day Inca Trail & MP tour however landslides closed the trail. SAM Travel gave us... read more timely notification and offered a refund but instead we accepted their Sacred Valley tour. Sam Travel provided transportation to/from the Cusco airport and hotel, providing suggestions of Cusco sights and gave us a trip briefing the day before we left. Both Sacred Valley and MP tours were terrific! I found Sam Travel to be accomidative and adaptable to the changing circumstances. I highly recommend this agency.

  I only had a short time in which to visit Machu Picchu so I decided to do a train trip. As a solo traveler with a not-so-flexible schedule, I had... read more difficulty finding a tour company to accommodate me, but SAM was very willing to offer me a private tour on the day I requested since there were no group tours that day. Their team was prompt in responding to emails. The airport pickup and hotel transfer upon arrival in Cusco was a nice bonus. And the trip to Machu Picchu itself...WOW! Pictures don't begin to do it justice. My tour guide, Henry, was phenomenal. He stayed with me for about 3.5 hours, serving as photographer, historian, and overall excellent guide. We had time to visit Inca Bridge in addition to a thorough exploration of the ruins themselves. I highly recommend SAM and would definitely use them again!

  I loved my tour with Sam Travel in February! I was very lucky that during the rainy season we didn't get a prohibitive amt of rain during the trip.... read more A nice, SAM van picked me right up from my doorstep and I joined a nice, small group. We went all through the Sacred Valley that day. What we got to see was so diverse and I got to learn a ton about the country on day 1 from our awesome guide, Auqui! He took great photos of us @ all the stops we made that day. SAM booked a great hotel for me and Auqui was diligently watching me to make sure I was ok with the altitude--he even carried my bag! The next day was Machu PIcchu and it was incredible!!! I learned so much and got some great photos ;-) Auqui then directed us to lunch which happened to be one of the best meals I had on my trip and even bought my my 1st Pisco Sour! The impression he and SAM Travel made on me was so heartwarming, they took GREAT care of me! I didn't have to worry about a thing, I'd highly recommend booking with them and ask for Auqui!

  We did the four day Wilderness Salkantay Trek. From start to finish everything was very professional and well organised. The tents and equipment seemed very good quality, and any of... read more the staff we talked to were always very friendly and helpful.

Our guide, Auqui, was brilliant and he really made the trip for us. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything on the trail, in Peru and Machu Picchu. He was able to give us very detailed and interesting information on the history of the area, and was generally very helpful throughout. I don't think he could have been any better and I would be very happy to go on another trek with him.

Every meal on the trek, cooked by Leo and Javier, was excellent and some of the best that we had in Peru. We were very surprised, and impressed, at how it could be so varied and such high quality when cooked on the side of the mountain. Our porters (Alex and Pablo) were very friendly and helpful.

I would 100% recommend SAM Travel - along with Auqui, Leo, Javier, Alex and Pablo - to anyone doing a trek. I don't think I could find a fault in any part of the trip. Definitely worth the money.

  Great tour, especially if you are in a hurry. The guide Henry provided a lot of local perspectives on the various Inca sites on the way and went above and... read more beyond to get us to as many interesting places as we could squeeze into the schedule. Big thanks for that :) The group was small - just 4 people, the tour was well organized. Not without hiccups, but the guide was babysitting us so diligently that everything resolved easily.

  The whole team at Sam Travel Peru was great, starting with the orientation to traveling to the train and heading back to Cusco. Omar, our travel guide, was very informative,... read more educational, and entertaining while we were walking the Machu Picchu ruins. I highly recommend using this service if you want to not just see Machu Picchu but also learn about the culture and history of this amazing place!
