Best Tour I’ve Ever Been On
One of the best tours I have ever been on, and by far the best hike I’ve ever done! “ Papi J.J.” (Juan Jose) was an outstanding guide, really showing his knowledge and giving us information about basically everything as we walked. Our second guide, “Mumma G” (Yoivonni) was equally excellent, always making sure everyone was okay and enjoying themselves, that we were all safe and comfortable at all times. Our Chef (Beltran) was incredible, I’ve barely eaten better in a restaurant, let alone on top of a mountain while been cooked in a tent. The porters as well, always the most under appreciated of any hike, were truely incredible. While all of us gringos are struggling to breathe hiking up with 2kg backpacks, these porters (half man, half machines) are running up and down mountains with 25kg packs like it’s nothing. They were always making sure our belongings, tents, and food were ready by the time we staggered into camp. Breathtaking views the whole hike, well chosen, strategic rest spots every day, and Special mention to possibly the MVP of the trip, the hot water bottle for our sleeping bags while it was -2 degrees outside was truely a lifesaver. Combined with the cocoa tea upon waking every day, this tour was the best I have ever done, cannot recommend enough!

Had a great time doing the Inka Trail
The Tour Guides gave us a lot of information about the Tour and all the sides. The food was great and delicious. We also got lucky with the weather except the last day. But the experience overall was really nice. Thanks to Vincent and Sebastian for guiding us. Thanks to Julius Cesar for the great food and thanks to Torro and team for carrying our stuff and taking care of us.

Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in 2 Days
This was such a beautiful experience, MP really is a sacred and special place and my guides Vicente and Renato made sure that every detail was in place so we didn’t have to worry about anything and could simply fully enjoy the entire experience. Vicente has so much incredible knowledge with a spicy delivery ;) and it made things even more engaging and memorable. Both made me feel so cared for and part of a community. From the transport, to the hike, to the insanely good food, to the great hotel, to the party train on the way back, I can’t think of a single thing that wasn’t absolute perfection. I can’t recommend this hike enough!

Hiking the Inca Trail with Trex Experience was an amazing experience. Our guides, Daniel and Sharon were exceptional and both of them went above and beyond to make sure that everyone in our group had a great time. The hike was more difficult than I expected and some members of our group struggled at times with how challenging it was. Daniel and Sharon with the help of the porters made sure that everyone was successful and completed the hike. The scenery is at all times breathtaking. The Inca ruins are fascinating and the guides were knowledgeable about everything we saw from the history and geography of the area to the wildlife. There was a lot packed into the trip and many extras (meals, entry tickets etc) were included making this trip also great value for money.

We had an amazing day with our tour guide, Jennifer and our driver, Elvis! They promptly picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Ollantaytambo to get the train to Machu Picchu. Everything was very organized and Jennifer made sure it all went smoothly from getting on the train to getting the bus to Machu Picchu once we arrived in Aguas Calientes. Jennifer was extremely knowledgable and expertly guided us through Machu Picchu’s Circuit 2. We then had a great lunch in Aguas Calientes at a restaurant Jennifer recommended before heading back to Cusco. We had a wonderful day and owe a big thank you to Jennifer and Elvis for making it such a comfortable, smooth and amazing experience!
