ROMARIO HELLO <3 THX FOR THE GREAT TOUR
We (3 guys) were in a group lead by Romario. IT WAS FANTASTIC! He is a great guide and a good human in general if that makes sense. He is very relatable, and fixes any occurring problems with ease. Very close to nature that guy and in harmony with all things. The tour itself was fun, the landscape stunning! I can recommend this tour! The toilets were ok, but bring your own toilet paper just to be sure :) We had the option to visit the hot springs, too, also something I can warmly recommend if you like these kind of things. Just enjoy!

Salkantay Trek 5 Days to Machu Picchu – Glamping & Vistadome
The 5-Day Salkantay Trek with TreXperience was the adventure of a lifetime. Our guide, Anthony, didn’t just lead us, he cared for us like family. He kept the group safe, set a perfect pace, and shared stories and insights that made the Andes come alive. Every day felt thoughtfully planned and joyfully executed. A huge shout-out to our chefs, Ismael and Tibu, who turned camp meals into something we looked forward to! Every day fresh, delicious, and amazing! The effort this team poured into our experience was obvious in the big things (safety, logistics, comfort) and the small touches that made us feel seen and taken care of. Unforgettable from start to finish. If you’re considering a guided trek, stop searching and book TreXperience and if given the chance ask for Anthony! You’ll be in the best hands. Thank you for making our Peru trip unique, personal, and truly memorable.

The Trek was amazing, our tour guide Nilton was fantastic from initial collection from our hotel, along the trail, through Machu Picchu, and escorting back on the train. Definitely a bucket list item well and truly ticket off. Would recommend Trexperience to anyone who wants a well organised tour. Big thumbs up to the chef and assistants as well. The food was superb.

Our tour guide Elias went above and beyond for our trip to beautiful Machu Picchu. He was timely, friendly, and most importantly, incredibly knowledgeable about Machu Picchu.

He shared a recommend packing list ahead of time, met us at our hotel, helped us with the buses and all the various lines. He shared information on Incan history, archeology, and local flora and fauna, and he was so passionate about all of the above. Would 10/10 recommend booking this tour and requesting Elias!
