Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

Premium Inca Trail to Machu Picchu - 5D/4N
Themes
Flights & Transport:
Itinerary Focus:
Highlights
- Ideal to avoid most of the other people on the classic Inca Trail. This is well after the hordes on the 4-day classic Inca Trail trek have departed very early in the morning, sometimes waiting in line for up to an hour to start the trek. Allowing them to clear out means you can hike and camp the whole trail in relative solitude away from the masses, as you’re always about half a day behind, and half a day in front of the people on the 4-day Classic Inca Trail trek.
- This 5-day Inca Trail trek version is recommended for photographers, friends, and families with younger kids, this itinerary of the Inca Trail hike moves at a slightly slower pace. While following the same path as the classic 4-day trek, you will stop at quiet campsites to avoid crowds and have more time to enjoy the amazing ruins and scenery along the 28 miles. This 5 day Inca Trail trek also gives you a night at a nice and comfortable hotel in Aguas Calientes town so you can shower and clean up for a second visit to Machu Picchu on day 5 and have the opportunity to climb Huayna Picchu mountain after you have concluded your guided tour of the city.
Classic Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu - 5D/4N
Themes
Flights & Transport:
Itinerary Focus:
Highlights
- The Classic Inca Trail is famed for the diversity of its topography and ecosystems; the Salkantay Route’s smorgasbord is even more impressive!
- The 20,500-feet-high Mount Salkantay was one of the holiest apus, or sacred peaks, in the Inca religious pantheon. It’s still revered today in the traditional Andean religion. This mule-assisted hike cuts through the beautiful Mollepata Valley and traverses past Salkantay at an altitude above 15,000 feet.
- From those chilly heights, the trail descends into subtropical cloud forest, where it meets up with an ancient Inca highway that leads to the recently rediscovered ruins of Llactapata. From there, one can gaze a few miles across the valley to take in a rare sidelong view of the full Machu Picchu complex and Huayna Picchu mountain. A downhill walk ends at the small train station, where a frequent train runs along the Urubamba River to Aguas Calientes, the town located at the base of Machu Picchu.
