Thanks people. I am fully aware it is near impossible to get a place on the inca trek unless with an organised company. i think lots of the english tour companies bulk buy in advance as places are available from August onwards.
I actually want to do it in a group anyway but keen to hear peoples experiences of groups as the one i was initially keen on read very bad reviews. obviously if i just do the inca trail i can't really go wrong but not sure about the rest of peru if to do by company or on own, company seems expensive hotel stays rather than hostels etc.
Thanks for the advise though will be sure to consider it!
Hi,
wondering if anyone can advise, i am thinking of doing the inca trail with a tour company such as FAP Adventures throught STA Travel or SAS or Real Gap or Andrean Trails (a scottish company)and wondered if anyone can recommend a company.
Also if its best just to do the inca trail witht he tour company or if to plan the rest of my tour in peru with the tour company or if i would be better playing this by ear.
