Fabulous!

Highly recommend the private Inca Trail tour with Trexperience. Very easy booking process, great communication. We were a group of 4 aged 60, 62, 65 & 67, it was hard work! We had trained a reasonable amount prior to arriving, however you cannot train for the altitude! 3 of us were very short of breath, no appetite and headaches, in spite of acclimatising in Cusco for 4 nights beforehand. Thony, our guide was very patient even though we missed lunch on one day and arrived in camp a couple of hours later than expected. However, we made it to the Sun Gate on day 4 which was magnificent and worth the pain! A special mention to Gabriella and Florentino who went above and beyond to assist us. Thank you. Thony was very knowledgeable, who thoroughly enjoyed his job, his enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone. He certainly gave us the strength to finish the trail and kept us motivated. The chef “Teddy Bear” was amazing, we have no idea how he can put together the wonderful meals with limited facilities. The porters did an amazing job, how they carry the equipment and get to the camp in such a short space of time is unbelievable. Don’t think about it, just book it with Trexperience, you won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Peru Trip

This trip was incredible! Roger, our guide, was incredibly phenomenal. He expressed so much interest in our enjoyment and understanding of the Inca sites we visited! He led excellently with Balbino, the second guide and they helped us every step of the way. The food? INCREDIBLE:) our porters and chefs were absolutely fantastic and made our experience absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend this company and guide and trip. Please try, you won’t be disappointed:)

Amazing Trekking Experience

Our 4 day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu was amazing. Our guide, Filio, was excellent. He took care of our group. We had one member get sick and he was able to ensure we could still keep trekking and were able to rest and recover. Our chef, Beltran, and porters were SO amazing. Watching the porters run the trail that we were slowly trekking was quite the scene. Overall TreXperience handled our group from booking to final lunch and everything was flawless! I would 100% recommend this tour group and Filio as a tour guide to anyone interested in doing this trek.

Best experience ever!

The best experience we could’ve asked for. Alan was our tour guide and he did an amazing job explaining the history about the Inca’s and all the sacred places, also keeping us motivated during the long hike. Leandro and his kitchen team were amazing, preparing some of the best food during the hike. Lots of food and options, it’s impressive all they can prepare up in the trails. Benedicto and his porters team were always making us feel like part of the family, they also worked super hard moving all the equipment from camp to camp to make sure everything was ready for us once we arrived at the camp. They were always waiting for us with smiles and clapping, congratulating us every time we reached the camp. Blessed to had such a great team for my 4 day Inca Trail!
