Machu Picchu with David from Tex Experience 3/11/2026
Dear TreXperience, I am writing to commend the outstanding service provided by David, our guide for Machu Picchu today. His professionalism and warmth transformed our family's visit into an unforgettable experience. From his helpful pre-trip call to his engaging historical narratives, David’s dedication was exceptional. He made the ancient city and Peruvian culture come alive with his profound knowledge and genuine enthusiasm. David consistently went beyond expectations, assisting us with memorable photographs and recommending a truly excellent local restaurant. These personal touches greatly enhanced our journey. He is an extraordinary guide, reflecting the high quality TreXperience offers. I enthusiastically recommend David to anyone planning a visit to Machu Picchu.

Highly recommend TreXperience as a provider and Daniel and Giovanni as guides. Everything was smooth sailing and communication was excellent. The team were very responsive to questions and promptly provided confirmation of our booking. The hike was tough but very doable and rewarding. Very glad to have booked this tour. It’s a long couple of days between all the transit and hiking, but worth it for the view! Thanks again guys.

Belle expérience, super organisation, tout est bien cadré, le trek est un peu exigeant par endroits sans être insurmontable, mais l’effort en vaut la peine les paysages sont magnifiques. Nos guides Daniel et Yovanni ont été supers, enthousiastes, prévenants et très généreux en explications et détails sur la culture quechua. L’arrivée par la porte du soleil est juste magique, un temps couvert avec quelques averses pendant le trek mais le soleil est miraculeusement apparu et nous avons bien pu profiter du site en fin de journée quasiment seuls. La visite guidée du lendemain a été très intéressante, c’est fantastique d’avoir accès au Machu Picchu 2 jours de suite. Un coup de chapeau au chef cuistot Sinshi et à son équipe (Mercedes et Ruben), qui ont fait des miracles en nous servant un petit déjeuner très généreux avant le départ du trek et fait le chemin au pas de course pour nous proposer un succulent et très varié repas de midi.

He was so knowledgeable and he always made sure everything was perfect for us, from the pictures, train rides and food. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure our experience was memorable. He also contacted us after the excursions to make sure we were doing ok. Thank you for everything Wilian!!!
