Published 2022-09-25
Today I’m taking one of the world’s most luxurious sleeper trains across the mountains of Peru for 72 hours. Run by the same company as the Venice Simplon Orient Express, the Andean Explorer is a luxury first class train which runs multiple itineraries across the country. Onboard I’ll share with you the various restaurants, the observation deck, piano bar and of course a full room tour - I have the best onboard, the one bedroom suite. And what’s more, onboard there’s something I’ve never even heard of being on a train before… a fully functional spa!
As always I’ll give you a full breakdown of what it’s like to take one of the best luxury trains, the cost and my honest opinion on whether you should do the same. So come join me on a luxurious, first class adventure across South America.

As a disabled person who can't travel very far I love your video's, they show me the world from my bedroom. Thank you for that! ❤️
-
The suites on the planes used to be my favorite videos, but the long train videos took the top spot.

I dont think you understand how much I love your videos and the entertainment they give out, thank you for giving your fans such good content and thank you again for another awesome video.

One of my biggest regrets in live is not getting up for the sunrise from the top of Half Dome, thinking I'd be able to do it again and I was so tired from the previous day's hiking, the following year they stopped allowing camping on the top of Half Dome so I forever missed my sunrise there. Sunrises are so special and I have witnessed the from many places on the planet. Better to get up and see it and then go back to sleep after or take a nap in the afternoon than miss the sunrise in a special place. And William, this is the best show that you have ever shot, it's worthy of being shown on the BBC. Great Job with the camera work and your editing! Top Notch and to quote where I'm from, It's Hella Good!! And Hella Bad!!! Bad of course meaning very good in Northern California language... NorCal is my home!!

It's really great to see Millie so comfortable on camera. I've said it before and i'll say it again, she's a natural star 🌟 x

Having Millie with you made the vlog more relevant to me as I never travel alone. Having a travelling companion makes a journey more fun.
-
Love that you’re promoting trains. Such a luxurious and ecologically friendly way to travel. It’s my ultimate dream to be able to take these kinds of trips. You’re my favorite travel vlogger

You've definitely become my favourite travel Youtuber.. the videos are stunning but you're just a good dude and you make the trips super fascinating. I'll have to add The Andean Explorer onto the bucket list.. that shot at the end of the train while you're having coffee was just so cool

My 12 year old twins and I always get excited when you put out a new video and watch it together! Thank you for taking us along on your amazing journeys

Wow! I just love seeing these adventures through your eyes. Thank you so much for the time and energy you put into sharing them with the world. Great to see Millie again too! What struck me is the extreme poverty outside your window in some places and the contrast of the opulent train. How great that you got to see the caves, lake, and culture as part of the journey. $5000 is a bargain for such an experience!

"Lake Titicaca"....someday I might be able to hear that name without sniggering like a 7yr old. But it is not this day. 🤣😂🤣

It is always so nice to see Millie with you on the luxury trips. My wife would never go for me doing them by myself and I wouldn't want to either, having your partner with you as you travel is so much more fun. And Millie is so darling and an excellent addition to the content, love your take on things but having your travel partner's opinion expands the content exponentially. Truly proper William!!

I am astonished to see your subscribers .You honestly deserve subscribers in millions judging from the quality and quantity of content you provide.

This has become one of my favorite channels. Only ever been on a train once in my life and it wasnt a pleasant experience, but have always been fascinated by them.

Peru is one of the most beautiful and underrated countries in the world for travel. Had the pleasure of spending a summer there. Can’t wait to go back.

"You don't get this corn down Tesco, mind!" Words probably never before heard on the Andean Explorer! But seriously what an outstanding video, really well done to both to both of you. Although this trip and your excellent descriptions are a joy to watch from a distance I did get a hint of endurance rather than enjoyment. Maybe I just shudder at the two 5am starts! That apart a real triumph Will, very VERY impressive work.
-
Nice to see Millie join you on this fabulous trip. She should accompany you more often.
-
A fantastic video showing the beautiful scenery of Peru. I love it!! 😊
-
I think this itinerary and the train itself is my favorite of all.
