1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Hiking through the Sun Gate and down into Machu Picchu.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Arrive in Cusco TWO days before the trip starts, to acclimatize to the altitude. One day wasn't quite enough for one of us. We were glad we had hiking poles, the Inca Trail features many steps and in particular downhill they made a real difference (for us older hikers with iffy knees).3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, benefitted local guides/porters.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Great! The hike was reasonably strenuous because of the altitude but great to be up in the Andes and seeing Inca ruins.Read the operator's response here:

We're thrilled to hear that the extra time spent acclimatizing in Cusco helped make your journey more enjoyable and that the hiking poles proved essential. Your tip will undoubtedly assist future travellers in making their trips just as memorable.
