Great Trekking Experience but company itself with poor communication

Filio was an amazing guide. Friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. Pleasure to work with. Luis Alberto, our chef was amazing and so much good. He and Elder, his assistant were great. The TreXperience office staff was a different story. Changing plans with little notice, misinformation, not following through with what they said they would do. That was disappointing.

We had a wonderful time on the four day classic Inca Trail track. Our tour guide, Elvas, was excellent. The porters were incredible. The Head chef Roman did an amazing job making tremendous meals along the trail. Such a special experience with my family. Thank you very much.

Incredible

We had an incredible trip. The organisation of the trip was well coordinated. The tour food was 10/10! Beautiful food prepared with care. I am lactose intolerant and they were able to care for my needs and I still enjoyed delicious food. The guide Thony was organised, professional and knowledgeable. He brought a light fun and kind personality to the trip and we appreciated his hard work. It made a big difference to the trip. I highly recommend this itinerary. Arriving into Machu Picchu in the afternoon was perfect as it was less crowded and then we did the tour the following day which was busier as expected but ran smoothly. The 3 star hotel was great. Plenty of hot water and a large comfortable bed. The breakfast was plentiful with lots of options. Thank you for an incredible journey.

Salkantay Trek 5 Days to Machu Picchu – Glamping & Vistadome

Review of the 5-Day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu + Vistadome Train The Salkantay Trek was undoubtedly an impressive adventure, but what truly made this tour extraordinary was the wonderful group of participants and the outstanding team of guides, cooks, and porters. First, I’d like to commend all three guides, who did an outstanding job throughout the tour. On the third day, our group was split up, and we were lucky enough to be accompanied by David. David was simply extraordinary and exceeded our expectations in every way. With his warm personality, sense of humor, and infectious enthusiasm, he made every single day special. He was not just a guide, but a companion, motivator, and friend all at once. With his fascinating stories and the passion with which he spoke about Peru, he truly immersed us in the country’s culture and traditions. David didn’t just lead this tour—he turned it into an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. An equally big compliment goes to the cooks. What they accomplished day after day under the demanding conditions along the trek was simply incredible. The quality, variety, and presentation of the meals were at a level that many restaurants can barely match. After hours of hiking, we were surprised every time with fantastic food, and we kept wondering how such dishes were even possible in the middle of the mountains. We were also particularly impressed by the many thoughtful details that went far beyond what we expected. Hot water bottles for the cold nights, a cozy campfire under the starry sky, and marshmallows to roast created unforgettable moments and showed just how much dedication the team puts into caring for its guests. I also have the utmost respect for the porters. Their daily efforts are almost impossible to put into words. They perform grueling physical labor under challenging conditions and yet always ensure that everything runs smoothly. Without their dedication, a tour like this would not be possible. Their hard work, professionalism, and endurance deserve the highest praise. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for this unique experience. For me, the Salkantay Trek was not just a hike, but an adventure full of special encounters, impressive experiences, and unforgettable memories. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

Our family enjoyed the tour and the tour guide did a great job. Very interesting to see the ruins and the salt mines in one tour. Thank you.

As a solo aussie, i loved this trek!

This was the best company to go with as a solo traveller from Australia! The guides (José and Evans) were great: good translators, extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Incas, and the friendliest people you’ll meet. The food was good (i miss the mango ceviche more than anything), and the camping gear was top notch. Loved my time here.

Although this was a physically demanding trip, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Abe, Wilbur and Alex were patient, kind and caring the food was amazing and the accommodated my vegetarian request, which was really very nice. Thank you for making this ship available.
