Machu Picchu Tours & Treks — Premium Small Groups!

From 13 July to 23 July, we travelled around Peru with the tour operator TreXperience. It’s a Peruvian company based in Cusco. Let’s say straight away that the company is excellent and everything was organised as well as could possibly be. We found the company ourselves online. We got in touch with them via email. We then kept in touch via WhatsApp. We set out our preferences for the itinerary covering the Inca Trails and Lake Titicaca. In response, we received detailed proposals and options. All aspects were open to discussion and could be changed, including in response to circumstances and at the last minute. The entire tour programme was put together very flexibly, taking our wishes and preferences into account and tailored specifically to our needs. We flew from Europe and booked our international flights ourselves. We also booked our domestic flights within Peru ourselves, following the tour operator’s advice. All other tickets (for attractions, trains and buses) were included in the tour price (except for the ticket to the Rainbow Mountains – Mount Vinicunca or Palcayo). We recommend visiting the Rainbow Mountains at Palcayo (fewer crowds, the same altitude, views that are just as good, and a much easier ascent to 5,000 metres). All the hotels were 5-star and the service was excellent. All transfers were on time and included in the tour price. All the guides were absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. They spoke English fluently. They offered assistance, gave helpful advice and, without exception, left us with fond memories; we remember them all with gratitude and appreciation for their work. We would particularly like to mention our manager, Gabriela Conde, who oversaw the entire trip, was always in touch and virtually accompanied us throughout the journey. Her exceptional kindness, assistance with every matter and attention to detail – we have never encountered service like this anywhere else before. In our view, the price of the tour fully met our expectations, and at no point were any additional payments required. Tips are welcome, and we were always happy to give them, as all the company’s staff undoubtedly deserved them. We recommend TreXperience for organising your trip to Peru. M&O.

We had two wonderful days! Our guides were Amadeo and Rodi. We really loved their attitude, the knowledge and sense of humour of Amadeo. The views during the hike were amazing, the food was delicious and the arranged accommodation was also quite nice. I would definitely recommend the trip!

This was hands down the best tour I went on during my three weeks in Peru. The booking process and communication with the agency were both super smooth and easy. They always responded quickly when I reached out to them. We were so lucky to have José as our guide. He made the trip fun and really interesting. He made sure that the walking speed suited everyone in the group and shared lots of interesting facts about the Quechua people, Machu Picchu and the surrounding nature. The breakfasts and lunches served were delicious – a big thank you to the kitchen team. Another advantage of this trip was that we entered Machu Picchu at around 4 pm, after most of the crowds had left. This gave us the chance to take pictures and enjoy the scenery in peace. The hotel and dinner in Aguas Calientes were both good too. I also very much enjoyed the guided tour of Machu Picchu on the second day, when José shared even more information with us. Once again, thank you to José, who went above and beyond to make this trip special for us!
