A great and comfortable way to see the highlights of Cusco in a short time
Fantastic Tour Company! Will use them again! Highly recommended.
TreXperience arranged a custom tour for our group that included: Lima City Tour, Paracus National Park, Huacachina oasis & sand dunes, Nazca flight, Cusco Inca Sites, Sacred Valley, Ollantaytamba tour, short (9 mile) Inca Trail hike; Machu Picchu tour, and Huayna Picchu hike. All the guides were fun and knowledgeable. TreXperience was very flexible in arranging alternate activities for the people in our group who didn't want to fly or hike steep trails. Everyone was happy! They made every step of our trip easy with greeters & transportation to/from every airport, train station, and bus stops. Vans were comfortable and drivers were skilled and safe. The hotels they arranged were very nice and always provided a good breakfast. I highly recommend this company for Peru adventures. They made our trip to Peru UNFORGETTABLE!!

Recommended!!
it was a really great experience with TreXperience! We had a small group, but everything was well arranged. Our guide Filio is very knowledgeable and he knows the name of every mountain. He also showed us so many interesting plants and birds. & we also learned a few Quechua words and expressions The accommodations were nice - the first day in a tent, second day in a camp site and third day in a hotel. Although it was cold at night, the staff tried their best to keep us warm, and brought us hot tea to wake us up. The food by Chef Roger and Bernardino made us very delicious and nutritious food - vegetarian food included.:) i also heard that this company is owned by local community, and would donate a part of the revenue back to the local schools. I truly appreciate this:)

5-Day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu: An Unforgettable Journey
The tour was more than I expected, and Julio Conde, our mountain guide was the perfect person to take us on that journey. He as knowledgeable in every aspect of this the tour, and kept us all feeling safe and in good hands (even thought we are big boys). The food was amazing, restaurant quality, and food portions were more than enough to keep us all very satisfied while out there day after day. The entire staff was professional, courteous, friendly. If I ever get back out for another hike in Peru, I want the same people / team taking care of me again. Thank you Julio for making this experience a magical and life changing experience.

TreXperience delivered an incredible experience and hike to Rainbow Mountain! This was our second tour with TreXperience and we were so happy to have toured with them again! My wife and I had been hiking and preparing for this hike at home and had spent the prior 3 days acclimating between Machu Picchu and Cusco so we felt confident going into the hike. Our guide Juan de Dios did a great job with the Pre-Trek Briefing the night before and was very enjoyable to travel and hike with all the way to the top! The cooking crew provided us with an excellent breakfast before the hike and a plentiful lunch afterwards. The ceviche was so good!! Thanks again to TreXperience for providing us with unforgettable memories and pictures of this significant accomplishment!
View full reviewShort Inca Trail 2 days to Machu Picchu
This tour was incredible!! TreXperience delivered a first class experience from the very beginning when I booked this trip online to include coordinating transportation, providing excellent communication, and having every detail of the hike and overnight stay nailed down. I especially want to thank Rosmel Roque along with the other Travel Experts on staff for their very thorough answers and patience with all of my questions in the months leading up to the hike. Our tour guide JJ and his crew were fantastic from beginning to end including providing us with a private Pre-Trek Briefing on WhatsApp since we decided to stay in Ollantaytambo the night before the hike. The food was delicious and plentiful and we enjoyed getting to know our fellow travelers along the trail and at dinner and lunch the following day. One of my favorite experiences on this trip was booking the additional hike up Wayna Picchu on Day 2 of the tour. This was thrilling, exciting and incredibly rewarding to see the views from the top and climb with several other people from our tour. Thank you very much TreXperience for this once in a lifetime trip!!

We had a great experience using TreXperience for our tours and private transport! The driver was on time at the Cusco Airport when we arrived and drove us safely and efficiently and directly to our hotel down in Ollantaytambo. He also helped us carry our bags a couple of blocks to the hotel at the train station. It was very nice being able to arrange this transportation in advance and know that we had a secure ride prior to our big hike to Machu Picchu the next morning. Thank you TreXperience!

A really fab tour of the sacred valley with Roger who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout. We then continued on to the Inca trail and Machu Picchu.
