My girlfriend (UK national) and I (USA national) booked the 5 day/4 night Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. The selling point for us was AB Expeditions' tie to the community and its commitment to limit the number of trekkers to 8. From the day we booked the tour in February 2026, the staff of AB Expeditions was very responsive and professional with our numerous questions, which they responded to in English. We extended the tour an extra day so we could, on our own, return to Machu Picchu and climb Huayna Picchu. AB Expeditions made all the additional bookings and rearranged our return to Cusco for no added charges. Because we were so very impressed, my girlfriend and I booked the 4 day/3 night Ausangate trek with AB Expeditions following our completion of the Salkantay trek.
We were delighted when we learned the night before the Salkantay trek that there were only 4 of us booked. The other two were delightful 29-year old Australian women, who like us, were close friends. We felt like we had hit the jack pot. The first day was magical as we ascended to 4200 meters to Humantay Lake. Although I consider myself to be a fit 63-year old, I had never climbed this high and was having difficulty with the altitude. Our guide, Wilbert, immediately came to the rescue. He took my back pack the rest of the way. I was so grateful. Our accommodations that evening were domes with bathrooms and electricity. The view was amazing. Our dinner was unbelievable. The chef and his sous chef kept bring dish after dish, finished with banana flambé. We slept well and set off toward the Salkantay Pass. We saw many larger groups with other companies similarly ascending. I was so grateful that the four of us had four AB Expedition staff members to assist us in this difficult climb. When we reached the top, we were met by the chef and sous chef, who had prepared hot drinks and sandwiches for us. So special. Unfortunately, on our descent, my girlfriend injured her knee and could not walk. Our guide sprang into rescue mode. Our horsemean came back from the lunch spot and led her on horseback for several hours until they reached our campsite. Our guide arranged for our travel back to Cusco the next morning. There were a lot of moving parts to get us back. The horseman and Sous Chef physical carried my girlfriend piggy back style on two occasions and we had three separate "taxis" on the 6 hour journey. An upper level AB Expeditions staffer met us at the emergency room in Cusco. We felt cared for. He stayed in contact with me throughout my girlfriend's multiple visits to the clinic and our return flights home. I highly recommend AB Expeditions.

I completed the 4-day Inca Trail with AB Expeditions and had a great experience throughout. Everything was well organised, and the guides were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely engaging.

What stood out most was the company’s ethical approach — the porters were clearly treated with respect, which was important to me when choosing a tour.

The trek itself is challenging but very rewarding, and the food and camps exceeded expectations. Reaching Machu Picchu on the final day made it all worthwhile.

I would highly recommend AB Expeditions to anyone considering the Inca Trail.

Myself, my son and my brother have just completed the Classic Inca Trail 3 nights/4 days with AB Expeditions,  and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. The end to end management of our trip was undertaken in a very professional and efficient manner by AB Expeditions. Our guide Yi Yo, our chef Charlie, and our team of porters deserve special mention, being truly exceptional. If I was to compare with other companies that I saw on the trail, AB Expeditions gave a sense of quality and  exclusivity, with our group size smaller, allowing that extra level of personal attention. The food was outstanding, and the level of equipment provided was to a high level. All in all if you want quality over quantity and a remarkable experience, I would highly recommend AB Expeditions.
