Amazing Machu Picchu trip with great guides

The two day Inca Trail tour was a once in a lifetime trip. TreXperience was a great tour company to go with. They was very organized and took care of all the details. Alex and Ade were fantastic guides. Alex was extremely knowledgeable about Machu Picchu and the Inca culture, and Ade was very positive and encouraging on the hike. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this to anyone wanting this two day Inca Trail tour with TreXperience to anyone wanting to visit Machu Picchu!

Amazing experience

The guides Nil and Louis were exceptional. Ensured our safety at all times. Made sure we had the best views and experience throughout the trek. The food cooked by the chefs was also very good. I highly recommend booking directly with trexperience as I was not pleased with the contact/support from adventure people before I departed. Once I arrived trexperience took over and were amazing.

Unbelievable scenery with a fantastic guide!

We had an unforgettable experience thanks to Cesar Flores and the whole team of chefs/ porters working extremely hard to make this trip amazing from start to finish! Thanks to the team: we had a different menu every night, learned so much about the trail, and enjoyed breathtaking views along the way! I highly recommend!!

Beautiful hike with many great experiences

The Inca Trail hike with TreXperience was a beautiful journey with many great experiences. Our guide Cesar took a lot of time along the way to tell us the history of the Incas and their sites. The chef (cook) always went to great lengths to conjure up very delicious food for us. Even pizza or lasagna was on the plate and was incredibly delicious. An all-around successful and well-planned trip that lacked nothing.
