I've used Qente, a good mid-range company for the Inca Trail.
www.qente.com
Also, a good guidebook to Peru would serve you well.
The most important piece of advice though is: book very soon. That is one of the two busiest weeks of the year. Don't wait.

I took a tour of Peru including the Inca Trail with GAP Adventures and I enjoyed it very much. GAP is very budget friendly and groups are delightfully small, maybe 10-15 people.
I would be very surprised if you can get a permit for the Inca Trail at this late date. You really must book that further in advance, especially during the busy season.
I apologize for acting as the spelling police, but if you are going to google info it's important to know how to spell this:
Machu Picchu
Enjoy your trip, Peru is both wonderful and quite affordable.

qwovadis gives good advice.
Look at Llamapath. Good reputation and they treat their porters well. I had a two day hike to MP scheduled w/them last April and was very impressed w/the guide (who was dispathced to meet w/us two days before the hike was to happen, to meet us and give us instructions and answer questions). He was well informed and spoke perfect English, well educated fella.
