A Hike to Remember: An adventure with Alex and Ade

I had an absolutely wonderful time with my tour guides and our group! We started the day off with an amazing breakfast that started off our hike so well. And even though it rained, our guides Alex and Ade were so positive that it made the rain not a problem at all! They took breaks whenever we needed and checked up on us throughout the hike to make sure we were good. They were very informative about the history of Machu Picchu and Alex gave us very important details on our way and at Machu Picchu while Ade did as well and also spoke in Spanish to a few of the people in our group that couldn’t understand English very well. I was so grateful for their knowledge and their positive attitudes during our time together. They brought our whole group together so well, and I can’t imagine the trip without them!

Amazing two day Inca Trail tour with our family!

This was an unforgettable family trip on the two day Inca Trail tour. TreXperience was a great company to work with for us, as they were responsive and organized. Our guide Alex and Ade were fantastic! Alex was extremely knowledgeable about Inca culture and history, and he took care of all the details of the trip. Ade was very positive and encouraging all along the trip. They were both also very good with our teenage children. We would definitely recommend this tour as a great way to experience Machu Picchu!

Amazing Experience!!!

I (28) and my brother (30) went on the two day Inca Trail tour with camping. It was perfection and the highlight of our Peru trip. I was going back and forth with a few companies but I’m so glad I went with TreXperience, it was only 7 of us in our group so everyone felt taken care of the entire time. Our guide, David, did an incredible job, helped us all take breaks when we needed, told us the history, and had a great attitude the whole time. And the food was amazing throughout. Highly recommend. They handled everything including all entrances and bus and train and just every ticket so it felt super taken care of.

Inca Trail from 104 km marker

Highly recommend this trail. A little bit challenging but really quite 'doable' with even moderate fitness level. The guide makes sure there is a good (sensible) walking pace with plenty of breaks. So the slower walkers don't feel under pressure. The food which is prepared along the trail was really amazingly high quality, it really was restaurant standard. Trout in creamy sauce; avocado salads; traditional style chicken dishes, rice, fresh banana bread and beautiful fresh fruit. Also plenty of clean (boiled) water available at each stop. All the walkers kept well for the trip, no upset tummies. The groups are small and people are from all over the world but everyone got along very well. We still keep in touch with people from the group. Most important 'til last... we did a few other small treks with trexperience on this trip and all the guides are great ! Romario led this 2 day walk, he is such a kind soul, he spoke about his life growing up in this area and the stories from his father and grandfather. He has really good knowledge of the environment and he chats away as we walked through jungles and forests. Romario stopped at one point, pulled some grasses and proceeded to show us how traditional ropes are made, in no time he has a strong 'rope' that no one in the group could break. As he makes the rope progressively bigger and stronger he explains what each size would be used for. All these small 'moments' add up over the 2 days and by the end you have a really good understanding of Inca life He's a good photographer and is happy to take snaps, he does pretty wild videos if you want, he calls himself the "human drone". History wise, all the guides are well trained and can speak about the areas they are guiding. Romario is no different, If you show particular interest in something, dont be surprised to receive some follow up info later. Romario is just one of those genuine, authentic people. The gentle and knowledgeable way he led this group was very special. We don't usually do group tours but I have absolutely no hesitation recommending this one.
