What our travelers have to say
Raymond B2024-11-11 David was an amazing guide What an adventure, it was awesome to spend the past few days not worrying about the planning specifics since it was all taken care of by our guide David. Bring your own toilet paper/wet wipes as not all stops have this available in the restroom.Bring insect repellent and sunscreen as well.... And a rain poncho, for sale $10 Soles at the first stop or buy one in cusco before departure. James D2024-09-20 Absolutely incredible experience! 10 out of 10 recommend I did the Choquequirao trek through SAP adventures and I recommend them with the highest rating possible. After another company cancelled on me last minute, SAP adventures was able to get me on the trek for the next day. The Choquequirao trek was my favorite experience in Peru. Everything was top tier including the guide Renzo, the accommodations, the food, the group and of course the magical Inca ruins. I am very grateful for the experience and I highly recommend it. Nitasha2024-06-05 Fantastic tour Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day inca jungle tour with sap adventures. Everything was really well organised with the itenirary running smoothly and ontime. We were nervous about some of the activeties included in the tour but were reassured by the level of safety, and found all the activity instructors also made it really fun for us as well as safe. Our guide, Amaru was exceptional which is one of the main reasons we loved the tour. He provided a wealth of knowledge on plants we walked past and the history of machu piccu. Amaru also took great care of us all on the tour. We highly recommend the tour as it is a lot of fun, you get to do lots of various activities as well as see machu piccu, and you can meet other travellers. hailee w2024-04-03 Incredible! I had an amazing time on this trek! The guide was amazing, the views were great. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I would 100% recommend Kasper L2024-03-24 Awesome time doing Inca Jungle The Inca Jungle trek was a fantastic experience, everything from the activities to food/accomodation was on point. Our guide Guillermo was brilliant too, he provided us with great stories and information and is a charismatic and cheerful person! Jameson G2024-03-14 Sap Adventure- Jungle Trek Johan was the best tour guide, was very funny and insightful. Johan was extremely accommodating and patient on our travels. He educated us about the local farms, Inca history, and many more interesting facts. Would highly recommend booking with Sap Adventures for a small tour experience and asking for Johan as your tour guide. Danielle B2024-03-06 Don’t miss this tour! The whole trip was fantastic and so much fun! Our guide Johans was so lovely and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough and ask for Johans 😂 Fredmichaels2024-02-06 4 day Inka trail trek My friend and I did the 4 day Inka trek trail which included river rafting. The team were so friendly and funny. We felt safe and prepped with safety instructions. The views were incredible as we went down the river. Highly recommend! Acos2024-01-30 Excellent Amaru was fantastic, very helpful and knowledgeable. They make sure you are comfortable and help every step of the way! Gabriella M2023-11-28 Inka Jungle Trek with Paul My Inka Jungle trek with Paul as the guide was fantastic. He expertly navigated the route, shared insightful information, and ensured a safe journey. His knowledge of the area enriched the experience, making it both educational and adventurous. I highly recommend Paul for the Inka Jungle trek.
Muhammad Shaheen Kajee2023-03-07 Did the Inka Jungle trek with SAP adventures. Amazing experience. Professional. Good value for money. Our guide, Yang was particularly great. Erling Brækhus Haugsand2023-01-03 Great customer service, we booked with them but had to cancel due to the unrest in the country. They refunded all our money with any questions Freja Ena Sundahl Olsen2022-12-19 Very professional and helpful Anne Paulsen2022-12-14 We booked our trip band paid in advance. Unfortunately strikes and closed roads prevented us from going. The company gave us full refund with no debate or hard feelings. I can recommend this honest and good will-company. Sina Hurlebusch2022-11-14 Told us a different price then we payed in the end. Just make sure theres no miscommunications Marin Maršić2022-11-04 Even though I didn't book anything with them, they were really helpful and shared some useful information. Chi Phan2022-08-23 SAP probably provides the best value-for--money tours in Cusco. I booked the Inca Jungle and Sacred Valley tours with them. They are extremely responsive on whassap, at whatever time - this cannot be taken for granted with tour agents in Peru. On the Sacred Valley tour we had a good guy that provided a bilingual tour. The lunch buffet was fantastic, especially if you are vegetarian. Lidman both booked and guided me on the Inca Jungle trip. He made sure to take into account my needs with food and anything else. I was impressed with the level of protection provided for the biking part. For other activities they worked with partners that also provided fantastic services (I had done the same activities elsewhere and could compare). Food on the trip is standard at the different stops whatever agency you go with. The accommodation I had was much better than expected - simple but clean. The team gave me the best advice of queuing for the complete ticket the day before because I had not purchase the entry to Machu Picchu in advance - the queue was short and I got an early-morning ticket fine. They also sorted out a guide for Machu Picchu for me on the spot and coordinated the train ticket as well as bus pick-up without any hiccup. Overall a great experience that I’d recommend! I RZO2022-05-20 I went here since they were close to my hostel. John and his wife provided me with great customer service and answered all of my questions. They went above and beyond trying to book a trip to Machu Picchu that I eventually decided to not do. I did book two great day trips with them which were very fun! Louis Louis2022-04-27 Nous avons fait l’inca jungle trek avec guillermo et c’était top, il nous a présenté la culture inca avec une grande passion mais aussi les diverses plantes que l’ont a pu découvrir sur notre chemin.
