Good tour! Our tour company actually had the name Xtreme Sports, so I think Dreamy Tours contracted them. Our guide was very experienced and had done the Inca trail hundreds of times. The company got a campsite next to the Sun Gate. Food. The good was good. We had cooked meals for lunch and dinner. Sometimes the meat was limited, or not very palatable, but overall it's nice to have full meals on a trail like this. Snacks. The snacks they gave us were limited, like some crackers and a piece of fruit. I'd suggest to bring your own. Porters. I was disappointed that on this tour we carry all our own belongings. It would have been nice if the porters at least carried our sleeping bags. Other tour groups only had to carry their day bags. The porters do of course carry the tents and breakfast, lunch and dinner, all the cooking supplies, etc. There is an option to hire a local porter on days 2 and 3 for about $40-50 USD per day. Preparation instructions. I had to ask the company for a packing list. As a somewhat experienced hiker, I knew the list was lacking, so I found a better list online. I felt bad for a couple of hikers on the trip that weren't well prepared. Tents. The tents were adequate, except I didn't like the foam pads, which were very thin. It almost felt like I was lying on the ground. Maybe I'm just a diva. But I felt very uncomfortable. If you're a light sleeper I'd bring an inflatable mattress. Inca trail itself. The Inca trail itself is legendary. I wouldn't ever do it again though - I'd stay in the hotel nearby. Doing this still allows one to get their early. Another option is to do a 1-2 day trail. Most of the highlights are at this segment anyway, but no part of the trail even compares to the end of it, Machu Picchu. Conclusion. This is a good tour if you're an experience hiker and don't mind carrying most of your things. There is also an option to hire a local porter on days 2 and 3 for about $40-50 USD per day. If you sleep soundly, the thin foam mattress may be ok for you. Otherwise you can bring an inflatable mattress. The guides were experienced and super friendly.

Seems to be a front end that then uses other tour guides. Check prices and features of other operators and believe you will find them cost-uncompetitive
Dreamy Tours was amazing. They helped arrange our tour of the 4d/3n Inca Trail Tour. Our tour guide Franklin was awesome. He was great at keeping the group together, yet very flexible when we wanted to explore different sites. Franklin was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He would explain the history of different ruins and their purpose in Inca culture and economy. The food was also amazing for a 4 day trip. I have never had such wonderful food while hiking. The cooks were even able to bake us a cake one of the nights. Each night we had a 30 min tea time followed by a delicious dinner. Finally we couldn’t have done it without the porters. There was so much equipment (tents, meal tents, cooking tents, portable bathrooms, cooking equipment, etc.). There would have been no way for us to carry all that and have the same experience. Overall it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend to those that are looking to experience the Inca Trail.
A experiência foi incrível, muito solícitos desde o princípio! Foi com certeza um dos momentos mais incríveis da minha vida e da minha namorada. A empresa nos acompanhou desde nossa chegada em Cusco até nossa saída, o que fez toda diferença.
We contacted the company and hired everything still from Brazil. The payment and all communication were secure and peaceful. Arriving in Cusco, the night before the start of the Inca Trail, the team came to our hotel to explain what the tour would be like. Then, Zaida came to finalize the payment and served us very well. Everyone we spoke with at Dreamy Tours was attentive and answered our questions. Our trip on the trail already included bus and tickets for Machu Picchu, circuits 1 and 3 (and, since we were VERY tired from the trail, it was great because we didn't have to walk as much and we could get to know the place well). The team and the guide were from Extreme Burbulencia (a local tourism company), and both the guide Juan and the team responsible for carrying the camp equipment and preparing the meals were great! We left the sleeping bags and trekking poles for rent here, paying around 20 to 25 dollars for each of these items. An important point to consider is that we brought small bags, so the sleeping bag ended up being practically another bag! Therefore, we had to hire a personal carrier to carry the sleeping bags. The value varies a lot, but they carry up to 15 kg, approximately. Also, at the end of the trail, prepare a tip for the porters, around 20 to 40 dollars. Finally, there were some extra expenses that I leave here as a tip for anyone planning to do the trail to prepare better. A Dreamy Tours was responsible for buying our tickets for the trail, bus, van, panoramic train, and return transport to Cusco. Thank you everyone! Our experience doing the Inca Trail was transformative. We highly recommend! ❤️🇵🇪
Very satisfied. My expectations were met.
It was an amazing experience. Much more than I imagined. The guide took a rhythm according to how well we get there as the road is demanding. The food was varied and abundant. All out of 10! The same company helped me with the accommodation and Zaida was always on the lookout for me to be well. Waited for my arrival at the hotel with gift 🤗 Super conforming
Excellent experience. The warmth and professionalism of the guide Henry Quintano and his assistant Percy made us feel very confident and taught us much of the Quechua culture and the history of these peoples. They were always on the lookout that we don’t lack anything and that everything goes the best way. Highly recommended. The food surprised us by its variety and abundance.
Performing the 4 day and 3 night Inca Trail was one of the best experiences of my life, and without a doubt Dreamy Tours made everything perfect from start to finish. The organization was excellent, always attentive to every detail and the well-being of the group. The guides were very professional, friendly and knowledgeable, explaining the history and culture of each place in a clear and interesting way. Throughout the tour we felt safe and well accompanied. The logistics, camps, food and constant support of the team were impeccable. Each day of the journey was challenging, but also an adventure full of spectacular scenery and unique moments. Getting to Machu Picchu after this crossing was simply exciting and unforgettable. I totally recommend Dreamy Tours to those who want to live the Inca Trail in an organized, safe and authentic way. A 100% worthwhile experience!
A very nice beautiful experience, very attentive everyone from the guide, the cook and his team and all the boys and girls who help to bring things truly a unique and unforgettable experience
I loved the trail, incredible landscapes, it was worth it!!! Appropriate camping infrastructure, but you need to have a minimum physical preparation and appropriate equipment to spend time on the trail comfortably.
We did the 4 day Inca Trail and it was an unforgettable experience. The guides were very attentive, everything was well organized and the scenery during the route was spectacular. Getting to Machu Picchu after the hike was really magical. Thank you Dreamy Tours for this unique adventure!
In September, my family and I lived an unforgettable experience on the 4-day Inca Trail with Dreamy Tours. The agency organized everything perfectly, with expert and attentive guides who made our group enjoy spectacular landscapes and magical moments, such as the arrival at Machu Picchu at dawn. I totally recommend Dreamy Tours for their professionalism and warmth, it was a family trip we will never forget!
All excellent congratulations have been an unforgettable joyful fun and challenging experience, which will remain forever in our memory Thanks for everything,
Excellent Service, except for some setbacks with the schedules and the need to run to reach the means of transport, the experience was barbaric
Magnificent group adventure. Very demanding but very comforting to have finished it.....once in a lifetime we would all have to visit Machu.....impressive and happy to have arrived
“Excellent experience with Dreamy Tours. The delicious food, always attentive to every need and resolving any situation that presented itself. Giuliana, in particular, was always predisposed and with very good energy. Highly recommended!
Great experience, moderate difficulty but enjoyed all the way and every place of arrival. Great organization of campsites, food, guide. Always concerned for your well-being and that you enjoy the adventure. Dreamy tours always worried, busy and friendly. 10/10
The tour is organized in an excellent way, the staff from the hiring cares a lot to inform you, advises you, always available. Guide Hector is a very caring person, the people on his team, who put together the camp are also excellent people. The food during the camp was excellent and varied.
Wonderful experience, pure magic. Nature in full. Guides with a vocation and always attentive. Varied and very rich food
With Dreamy tours we had an excellent experience! We did the Inca road with our children for the second time and everything went amazing. The guide Juan was impeccable, and the food and porters too.
We returned to the path of the Inca after 29 years with our children. We were super cared for by Yuliana and her agency. Everything he promised us was surpassed. The guide Juan was impeccable and with super interesting explanations during the 4 days. The tents and foods also of great level. I highly recommend this agency to make this experience unforgettable!
We love. It’s an extremely challenging but very rewarding path. We had NO problem with the agency. We had support all the way, the guide (Tony) was INCREDIBLE. The tent was not the most comfortable, but sleeping in the tent was never comfortable and yet it rained every day and did not wet anything in the tent, it was very well mounted. The food was amazing. We only had one problem because a friend's cell phone was stolen, however, we don't know who it was (if someone from some team or some tourist even). Besides, the agency's support was wonderful. We left our bags at the agency and we had no problem on the return. Difficult but incredible experience.
It was amazing, I just have to thank the support of the whole team, excellent food and the guide is very special, shirt for Dario and the charger team.
It was wonderful to live this experience. Dreams is very organized. The Guide Honi gave us a lot of information about the history, accompanied us, encouraged us always very inquisitive and cheerful. Super indico.
Excellent experience, very well organized and managed all the way. We had previous meetings where they explained the way and recommended what to do in Cusco, highly recommended and friendly
Good support. Organized trip. We did the four-day Inca trail. Guides Ron and Nestor gave us a lot of support, sharing knowledge about the history and the natural part.
We really ⁇ the services provided by Dreamy Tour. Without her, we ⁇ 't be able to plan the trip so well. It was all within the expectations, did nothing wrong and the services provided were great!
All excellent from scratch! Our Mario Guide made the trip wonderful, food, attention. The 4 day road would choose it again! Thank you Yuliana and Lia. See you next time! Johanna and Romi from Argentina
We went with my partner. From the advice to book, the talk once you arrive in Cusco and all the logistics the agency is a 10! The experience is unforgettable, hard, but very well put forward and organized and super complete. We rent trekking poles, sleeping bag with insulation included and hire the service of porters (I recommend it because otherwise it is very heavy to do this trekking with a lot of weight). Our guides were Nestor and Raul, both total geniuses, always taking care that no one feels bad or is left behind and worried that the whole group enjoys the experience in their path ❤️. A dream fulfilled, 100% recommended the agency!
My review was 10. They always met very punctual with the whole route and the organisation of Treking Salkantay was perfect good food and the guides very good and attentive. We love the tours and this city of Cusco that is charming and with a wealth of ancestral knowledge. Me and my daughter love everything. We are coming back with many amazing memories of everything we've lived through. Gratitude.
Cusco is full of history, a city with so much culture and passion for its ancestors, we loved it. The agency was wonderful with us, everything was perfect
It was an incredible trip, the views were magical, the places, the 4-day package that the agency prepared were exact to fulfill all the promised activities, I feel satisfied.
The visits to each of the places were very pleasant, I really enjoyed the tour, I hope to return to the city of Cusco
The 4-day Inca Trail tour was excellent, from Lia's attention at the agency to the guide Lizandro, the cook, his assistant and the porters, all super attentive and cordial. The excursion itself is incredible and the landscapes are unique. I recommend this experience to all my friends, it is a unique experience
The entire excursion put together by Dreamy tours was excellent, from the guide, the cook, his assistant to the porters. Furthermore, the agency complied with everything agreed upon. The tour is incredible, with dream landscapes and an unparalleled adventure Of course I will recommend it to all my friends.
Excellent Dreamy tour excursion, starting with the guide, the cook and the porters Top-notch attention from start to finish The tour itself is spectacular, the landscapes, the ruins, everything. Highly recommended
The truth was it was a rewarding experience. Lots of history and physical challenges. The only bad thing is that they failed us on the issue of bathrooms; They forgot to bring them and we had them ordered. For the rest of the trip everything was spectacular.
Excellent company! Lía's attention is extraordinary, she was in every detail and we felt calm to enjoy.
It was amazing !!! An experience for life!! From the preparation to every part of the way they were super attentive. Highly recommended!
Excellent experience! We did the Inca trail for 4 days and 3 nights with our 3-year-old child and we felt very accompanied and cared for. They are in all the details and the food service is very good.
I highly recommend this agency to those looking for a unique fusion of history, culture and nature in a single destination.
The experience was incredible. The landscapes are breathtaking, as is the trail - which requires preparation and a lot of care. Fortunately, we were very well guided and led by our guide Hector, an excellent professional and unique knowledge of local history and culture. I highly recommend Dreamy tours and their staff. All schedules were strictly followed and there were no unforeseen events. The food was also delicious and the entire team (porters and cooks) were very attentive.
The experience is incredible. The agency's service was reliable and honored all proposed items, answered all doubts and the post-tour service was also excellent, showing concern for the customer even after the purchase. A unique way to discover one of the wonders of the world.
We did with Dreamy Tours, not only the 4-day Inca trail, but also the Humantay Laguna, Colorful Mountain, Salineras de Maras, Moray and the Andean wedding in Misminay. Everything was very incredible, we had the support of the agency, before, during and after all the tours, the meals were great, the guides were very well prepared and contact with the agency team for any emergency was always immediate. They are to be congratulated! I highly recommend it!
Excellent service from start to finish! The tours, guides, accommodations... all exceptional, and at all times they were in contact and monitoring that everything went well. I am especially grateful to Lia, who from the moment we contacted them from Argentina was super willing to put together a tailor-made and unforgettable trip for us.
Excellent, I appreciate all the attention and support from the Dreamy Tours team to complete all necessary operations of this great program.
