Trip of a lifetime

We spent several days touring with this team, including the unforgettable 4-day hike to Machu Picchu, and it was truly an incredible experience from beginning to end. Our guides, Willian, Elvis, and Fernando, did an outstanding job making the hike manageable for all 15 people in our group, whose ages ranged from 28 to 65. They were knowledgeable, encouraging, and always made sure everyone felt supported. Their stories and historical insights gave us a much deeper appreciation for the Inca Trail, Peru’s history, and the local culture. You could tell they genuinely cared about sharing their passion, and they kept the experience fun every step of the way. Now let’s talk about the food because it completely exceeded every expectation! On our first day at lunch, they served us delicious soup and fresh bread. I thought that was the meal, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. They then brought out five more beautifully prepared courses, and every single dish was incredible. This level of quality continued at every meal throughout the trek. The highlight was the second night, when we celebrated my friend’s 40th birthday. Chef Zenobia somehow baked a beautiful birthday cake right on the Inca Trail! It was such a thoughtful surprise and made the celebration even more special. Every meal Chef Zenobia prepared was absolutely outstanding. I also want to give a huge shout-out to all of the porters. Their hard work, kindness, and dedication made this experience possible. They carried everything with incredible strength and always greeted us with smiles. We simply could not have completed this trek without them, and we are so grateful for everything they did. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and I can’t recommend this team highly enough. If you’re considering hiking the Inca Trail, this is the company you want by your side. Thank you all for giving us memories that will last forever!

The ***best*** tour ever

This trip was positively amazing for our family of four (two kids, ages 12 and 17). David was an fantastic guide, Chef Placido cooked the most amazing meals (and catered to our family's various dietary needs without any issues), and Santo and his team of porters were professional, friendly and so impressive. I highly recommend this hike with TreXperience; we were never rushed or pressured to get through things. We always felt safe and relaxed. My observation from other companies on the trail is that this is not always the case.

Once in a lifetime experience

Thony was the best guide ever. The whole experience was amazing, from great team spirit to delicious food. We witnessed amazing views, visited inca arheological sites and arrived at Machu Picchu trough the legendary Sun gate. The porters did all the hard work with carrying stuff and making the camps, food, and everything we needed. The guides Thony and Yovan explained everything very clearly, had a lot of fun and made sure we enjoyed our experience the whole way.

Julio, Efraín and Ismail rock!

Julio and Efraín were exceptional guides for our group. They showed genuine care, attentiveness, and passion for making our experience top notch. Ismail and the cook and porter teams were both punctual and made sure we received items at a moment notice, and the food far exceeded our expectations! Great team all around!

Team Tony Montaña

I lived it! My guide Tony Montana was fun and kept us motivated. The assistant guide Giovanni was super nice. The food was amazing. The chef, sous chef, porters, all went above and beyond. There were other trecking groups but I felt I chose the right company. I always felt safe as a solo female traveler and I made wonderful memories and friends. Tony helped bring us together. He gave us all cute nicknames, super funny and full of heart. It was an amazing accomplishment and I loved it all.

Just book it!

Going on the Inca trail was one of the best and most unique experience ever! Booking the trip was very easy - there are guidelines that can help you and if you have any more questions, just ask them on Whatsapp and they will answer quickly. We had the pleasure to have Thony Montaña and Yovan as guides. Thony has a larger than life personality and is the most fun guy but at the same time very professional and knowledgable. And Yovan is so helpful and funny, his laugh is contagious. This is not an easy hike, but with the right team you forget about the hard parts and just remember the feelings of joy and shock of how beautiful the Andean mountains are. And of course, the Machu Picchu itself - it is magnificent.

Exciting adventure with great guides

We had a great experience with our guides Julio and Efrain. They made the adventure fun and informative. They shared lots of history along the Inca Trail and at Machu Picchu, prepared us for the trek and encouraged us along the way, and are overall friendly, kind, and warm people to spend several straight days with. Our chef, Ismail, prepared delicious meals at camp. I would 100% recommend this program to anyone who is interested, especially if you can do it with Julio and Efrain.

Amazing! Can’t recommend it enough!

What an amazing experience! I booked this with my brother six months ago for my birthday and TreXperience did not disappoint. Everything about the service they provided was incredible, from the safety briefing, to transport and communication on the hike. Our guides Gary and Miguel were the best, they were extremely knowledgeable about the trail and its history, and their passion for their job really shined through! Special shoutout for the number of photos they took of us on the trail in order to have lasting memories whilst we were busy hiking! They helped shape our group of 10 into a family over the four days, and they really made the trip for me! All the food made on the trail was plentiful and delicious, and the service provided by the porters and guides was incredible and made the entire trek that much easier. It was my 18th birthday on the last night, and the chef made a birthday cake which was unbelievably tasty for being the last day - it was an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend if you want to undertake the Inca Trail, booking with TreXperience, everything was amazing! Thank you so much, it was truly the best time!
