    I went through TreXperience for my Salkantay tour. They were brilliant! The guides JJ and Yhon were awesome. They really looked after me when I injured my knee. JJ’s knowledge of the Inca history is second to none. We were treated like kings and queens on our tour, and fed accordingly with plenty of food and good quality and nourishing. We were even given hot water bottles on our coldest night. The accommodation and tents were wonderful. I have no hesitation in recommending TreXperience for any future tours

    Our eight day Salkantay Trek through Trexexperience, with guides Clevr and Jilbert was amazing. Clevr did a wonderful job relating the history and culture of the Incas and was very knowledgeable of the local culture and flora and fauna as well. Both Clevr and Jilbert as well as the chef and porters did a great job of supporting our group of eleven. The food throughout the trek was plentiful, varied and always delicious. From trays of popcorn to wonderful soups to amazing entrees to a cooking class making pachamanca and even a birthday cake for one of the group, the chef and his staff produced spectacular meals from the most spartan of conditions. Clevr was very attentive to everyone's needs and wellbeing throughout the trek, attending to blisters and any health concerns. The tents, sleeping bags and pads Trexeperience provided were all new, clean and of good quality. I would highly recommend this trip!

    Incredible trip. This is a tough, multi-day trek that requires strong physicality and mental fortitude. Our guides Klever and Gilbert were attentive and supportive, truly outstanding. Nourishing food prepared by Sinovio and Julio from local ingredients. And a porter staff that made the journey comfortable. Jaw-dropping scenery. This is a trip of a lifetime - do it!

    Great experience first touring Cusco and then Sacred Valley prior to starting the Salkantay trail. The food and porters were excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Only con was rge campsite our second night out. It was loud and in a small town. Would have loved to be outside. Also, make prior arrangements if you want to see Sun Temple or Winapichu at Machu Pichu. The tour did not include either.

    Tour radar continues to connect us with the best local guides for our adventures. This is the second trip we booked through them. In this instance, Trexexperience for the Inca trail trek to Machu Pichu plus some other day trips was the vendor they connected us with. The guides were more then knowledgeable and helped us through an unexpected health issue with knowledge and care. The accomodations, transportation and food were also excellent. I will continue to use Tour Radar as a portal for future adventures. They do their homework and only connect you with the best!

    We loved every minute of it! Our guide Katia was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She took the trip to a different level by sharing her passion and customs of her Inca ancestors. The cooks were amazing. It was like they had a Mary Poppins bag from which they could pull the most beautiful looking and tasty food! Truly amazing when you think that they were cooking in basic camping style. The trek was a lovely mix of sites visits, coffee making etc and altitude hiking which we really enjoyed. The Trex team was really efficient to support us from before the trip started until we flew back. Overall, we would highly recommend TreXperience.
