Highly recommend this excellent tour!

This tour was such an incredible experience! Pamela was our guide for the Sacred Valley portion, and she shared much history about the Inca sites we visited. Roger and Fernando were our guides for the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and were helpful and fun. I enjoyed all the interesting history Roger shared throughout the tour. The chefs prepared delicious food on the hiking day. Everything was perfect!

Amazing tour

This trip was an incredible way to visit many significant Inca places in the Sacred Valley. The next day, the hike to Machu Picchu was beautiful. On the third day I enjoyed learning more about the history of Machu Picchu from our guide Roger and walking through the site. Pamela, Roger, and Fernando were great guides

Full day in Sacred Valley

This was a great tour with lots of information. The sites are pretty fascinating and our guide, Frank, was able to answer all of our questions. This is a very long day as the sites are a bit of a drive from each other. I didn't feel like it was rushed at all. We did get to Ollantaytambo at the end of the day but we still had time to explore the site.

Operator response

Dear Quick31, Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed the Sacred Valley tour and found it informative. Frank will be happy to hear your kind words. We’re pleased that the pace allowed you to explore each site fully, including Ollantaytambo, and that you had time to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. TreXperience

Just book it the tour with them!

A tour you don’t wanna miss!!! We had frank as our guide for the sacred valley day tour and he was so lovely. Such a knowledge and patient tour guide. Then for our 2 day Inca trail hike we had babino and nilton as our guides, who were exceptional. The breakfast and lunch the chefs had prepared for us on the hike was delicious that it will have you waddling after lunch when you continue your hike. The group that we were with also such amazing people. I highly recommend Trexperience if you’re coming to Cusco.

Must do adventure

We had a great day with Jason providing the information about the Incas and great driving by James. We went at a nice comfortable pace no rushing. Some of the roads are very windy and up and down, all part of the great experience. First day fantastic 2 more to go which if anything like today we are in for a treat.

Great trip - great experience

With limited time to travel, I chose a quick trip to Machu Picchu so I could fit as much as possible into just a few days. Caesar from TreXperience was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of history at every site we visited. As a solo traveler, I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. I’d highly recommend TreXperience for any travel needs—everyone was helpful and professional from booking all the way through the airport drop-off.
