As good as it gets!
We had the pleasure of having Roberto as our guide at Machu Picchu, and he was excellent. He is extremely knowledgeable and clearly has deep experience with the site, which really brought the history and meaning of the place to life. Roberto paced and planned our visit perfectly, making sure we had enough time for all the highlights without feeling rushed. He even handled practical details like the bus tickets, which made the day smooth and stress-free. Thanks to his guidance, we were able to fully appreciate the incredible wonder that Machu Picchu is. We are truly grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting.
View full reviewFantastic experience of theLost city with a phenomenal guide, Roberto, with super knowledge &secret stories of the Incas
We had one of the most incredible tours of “Machu Picchu - the lost city of the Incas” today. We booked thru TreXperience who were extremely efficient & proactive. In addition, we’re very lucky to have Roberto as our guide. His knowledge of Machu Picchu, the history of the region and the little secrets and stories of the ruins was par excellence and made all the difference in our experience. We go back with knowledge and stories that you won’t find in any books because these are handed down from generations to the Inca people who he is a part of. We also learnt some Quechua in the process from Roberto. In addition, he took us to “not the usual” spots where we got fantastic pictures to take back as memories with us. If you are booking a tour, ask for Roberto and you will multiply manifold the quality of your visit !!

Machu Picchu by Train: 2-Day, 1-Night Adventure
We had a really nice experience with our tour guides JJ and William. JJ has told us a lot about the different places we have visited during the hike. The tour in general was it really worth especially since we have seen the place Winaywayna which we would not have seen only by visiting the Machu Picchu.

JJ and William were great tour guides. I’m very slow and they would regularly let me know that they want me to enjoy and not rush. One would be with the normal paced group and one would walk in the back with me. I appreciated them very much. All the food was delicious for all meals. JJ does a great job setting expectations and making sure we understand where to go and when. He has eyes in the back of his head and knows where every one of us are at all times.
View full reviewUltimate Salkantay Trek 5 days to Machu Picchu
The Salkantay trail is about the challenge of the altitude while appreciating the beauty of the mountains and it did not disappoint. Our guides, Julio and Alexis did an amazing job helping everyone to be successful in handling the altitude as well as the cold temps when camping near the glacier. Julio is definitely one of the best guides and wrangled the team to be ready on “international time” so not to miss any of the key events, including spectacular sunrises over Machu Picchu. They were knowledgeable not only in safety, but Peruvian/ Inca history, and local flora/ fauna. They were happy to take pictures (which was frequent and a nice touch) or answer questions while guiding us through the Andes. They worked with an amazing support staff as well. The cook, Ismael, (who was always happy) and his sous chef made delicious food in any space, while the horseman and porters got our stuff to the next location. In fact, while touring Cusco, Arequipa, and Lima thereafter, we realized Ismael had served us most of the Peruvian staples … while in the wild! The waiter, who is studying to be a guide, did a great job too! We appreciate the service and hospitality and recommend TreXperience for this adventure to all our friends!

An amazing experience, with excellent guides. Everything was wonderful. The food, organisation, instructions, time given, experience, everything. Fredy the guide and his colleagues were amazing. I forgot all their names. They deserve a raise. Rainbow mountain was great, the Red Valley was even better. Would highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience for my family. Our guides, Edy and David were phenomenal. They provided history lessons and shared their knowledge of Inkan culture throughout the trek as well as a positive attitude and encouragement. The food was delicious! We are all vegetarian and my son is vegan and there were more than enough options for us all. We were very impressed with the gourmet meals that the chefs were able to prepare at the campsites. The tents and sleeping bags were clean and comfortable. The porters make everything so easy for you.
