It was so hard to purchase our own tickets the day the tickets were available for sale from the Peruvian website which kept crashing and the tickets for our preferred time disappeared. I contacted TreXperience via WhatsApp, they replied within seconds and they helped our family in purchasing tickets for our desired time. Rosmel who was the person that helped me out, was super cordial, helpful and responsive to any of my questions even late into the evening. The whole process was seamless and stress free. Would I purchase thru TreXxperience again? 100% Era tan difícil de comprar los tiquetes por el Website que se caía y no trabajaba bien el día que los boletos salieron a la venta que decidieron contactar a TreXeperience. Rosmel, con quien me comunique por WhatsApp, respondío en menos de un minuto de mi texto, nos ayudo a comprar los tiquetes, no informo de como era todo, Rosmel fue muy cordial, ayudo inmensamente y también respondió a todas mis preguntas claramente y rápido hasta tarde en la noche. El proceso de compra de boletos fue simple y sin ningún estrés. Compraria con TreXperience una próxima vez? 100%

We had the pleasure of having Christian be our guide for the day in amazing Machu Picchu. Christian came to our hotel to pick us up (came a few minutes early which was fantastic), guide us to the bus stop and provided a fantastic explanation of Machu Picchu's history and every building we asked about. Having visited Machu Picchu many times, Christian knew the best picture perfect locations for us to have great memories. At the end of the tour he also gave us restaurant recommendations which were bang on! (we went to Full House). Coincidentally, I ran into him later that night in Aguas Calientes, he picked me out of a crowd, remembered my name and continued to give me a bit of history about the town. - Talk about awesome. Tuvimos el placer de tener a Christian como nuevo guía para nuestro tur en Machu Picchu. Christian nos recogío en nuestro hotel (Llego unos minutos antes, que fue muy apreciado), nos llevo a donde se toma el turno para tomar el bus para subir a Machu Picchu. Christian nos explico la historia de la area profundamente y también explico con mas detalle preguntas que teníamos de estructuras. Christian también tomo fotos impresionantemente profesionales. Al final del sur nos dio recomendaciones de restaurantes que le dio a punto (fuimos a Full House). Mas tarde esa noche, Christian me vio caminando por el pueblo, se recordó de mi nombre y me dio un poco de historia del pueblo. En resumen, lo recomiendo a el y a TreXperience 100%!

We had a great time! The weather was perfect during our hike and our guide Pepe is the best! His English and knowledge about the culture, flora and fauna in the area is superb. The freshly prepared breakfast and lunch by our assigned chef are delicious. All package inclusions were provided with good quality.

Great trip! Edy our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the significance of the trail. Balbino the chef cooked excellent food. I was stunned by what he was able to serve while on the trail. Special thanks to Jilmar (Gilmar) the porter as well. Would highly recommend Trexperience!

I can't recommend Trexperience enough! My husband and I were lucky enough to have had two great experiences with Trexperience during our time in Cusco. The first was the Short 2 day Inka Trek. Thanks to our wonderful guide Sara we had the best time. Sara was so kind, professional and passionate. We learned so much on our trek about the Inka history and Andrean culture thanks to Sara. Our second experience was a Trek to Rainbow Mountain and The Red Valley. Our guide Jose (PePe) was fantastic and so much fun. We had a wonderful day climbing the mountain with him. During both of our trips we had comfortable transportation and a smoth journey thanks to the Trexperience drivers. Additionally on both days we had freshly prepared breakfast and lunch made by the Trexperience chefs. This food was some of the best we had during our trip in Peru. Thank you to our tour guides, drivers, chefs and porters for not one, but two great trips. We are so grateful. Lots of love from Ireland ☘️
