I really enjoyed the Inca Trail and the Amazon trips. I'm a keen photographer and I enjoyed seeing all of the different animals in their natural habitat rather that in a zoo and have some good photos as well!
She was great. All the restaurants she recommended or took s to were very nice and her english was very good (although I do speak spanish).
Take lots of spare clothing for the Amazon as it's very humid and you'll sweet lots. Expect to tip. This is the only complaint I have about the tour. I would rather the tipping be managed by the tour leader and it be included in the total cost of the tour so that there are no hidden extras.
A great chance to explore the best sights Peru has to offer.

The arrival at the Macchu Picchu Sun Gate to see the sunrise.
Make sure you are fit for the altitude whether or not you are going to do one of the trails.
It was fantastic!

Peru trip (Geckos): too many fantastic memories. To name but a few: Inca Trek to Macchu Picchu, Jungle (and it's amazing accomodation; Lake Titicaca and Amantani Island, followed Cusco, Arequipa and Nazca Kines)
Absolutely Excellent. Our main guide Fiorella Morales was excellent throughout and really made the trip. Other notably good guides were: the trek guides (Celso, Franklyn, Richard); jungle guides and the colco canyon guides. They all seemed to study to a high level and for a long time before becoming a guide and it appear to be worth it (for us tourists in particular)
The guides always have in mind local traditions and how we should fit in/experience them
Yes, due to local guides and esp in Jungle lodge run by local people
Take the trip which passes through the costal region then to Arequipa, Colco, Titicaca etc before doing the trek (not the other way around). It is perfectly designed to avoid altitude sickness and non of our group were seriosuly ill in any way. Take good care to listen to guides and ensure you do all you can to acclimatise to the altidude otherwise your trip may be ruined. Pack light! Washing is possible and not expensive after Lima. Backpacks need to be lifted on top of minibuses! Fodd is inexpensive and very good - experience as much variety as you can.
