4 DAY INCA TRAIL - INCREDIBLE

What an amazing tour with Trexperience! Not only did we luck out with all the individual characters who were also on the tour but our two guides El Puma Eddie and Davice were amazing! Two local guides who have exceptional English and knowledge about the Inka sites, teaching us some of the local language as we took on the Inka Trail. The boys were both extremely helpful, vigilant, funny and a pleasure to be around. All information was clear and delivered as we expected from the briefing prior to our departure on the first day. They both ensured everyone on the tour were happy and did not hesitate to help out where needed if people were struggling, ensuring all our group completed the hike with no issues despite some people struggling with the altitude. The cooks produced some of the best food I have eaten, despite having limited time to get it all prepared for us for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Mountain Cake is impressive and unexpected! The many porters also need to have a big mention, the lads work tirelessly to get the various campsites set up before our arrival carrying heavy loads compared to us gringos and all seem very happy and local Inca guys from the mountains! 100% recommend, you will not be disappointed with the service! Just remember the tour company cannot garuntee weather! We got so lucky, or we can put it down to the holy water and positive manifestation from PATCHA MAMA! Sexy Llamas create unforgettable experience! Thanks again to all the staff. In the words of Wei we love you guys!

Machu Picchu tour

Roberto was an excellent guide. The company kept very in touch with me on what’s app making sure we were fully prepared for the trip and knew what to expect. The one thing that could have been better was finding our driver after we got off the train to go back to Cusco. He only spoke Spanish so communication on what’s app was difficult. I would book With them again in the future.

Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu 4D/3N

What an adventure! I couldn’t imagine doing this trip without our incredible guide Adi. He made all the stops informative, fun and engaging. I really appreciated how he kept us all informed as to what we needed and what we could expect, and he made sure to cater to the needs of each individual in our small group. The TreXperience team kept us up to date on everything via WhatsApp and were very professional and prompt. I would book another experience with them without hesitation. It was a perfect trip for our family with teens!
