    Excellent experience. We were happy and we were able to see all the places we wanted and had planned despite the short time we had. The food was delicious too. Very kind attention and everything.

    Very nice trip. Katia was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and her English was good. I would recommend it to others. A couple of small comments for improvement: pace felt a little rushed at times and guide walked a bit too far ahead of the group.. I think just building in a little more cushion in the schedule would help. Ty hanks for a wonderful trip!

    · August 15th, 2022
    Our experience over the two days was almost 5 stars, right up to the very end. Katia was our tour guide, and she was amazing! She was very friendly, compassionate, personable, and flexible to meet the needs of me and my daughter--it was just the two of us on the trip with her. She is very proud and knowledgeable of her ancestors' culture and the Quechua language. And she knew all of the best places to take tons of photos! While Katia worked hard to ensure the best experience for us, I do believe there were issues from her company that were beyond her control. On the first day, we had two different drivers (they switched while we were exploring the Sacred Valley area). And then on the last day, we had a different driver altogether. Katia told us the driver would be waiting for us with a sign with our names on it. When we got out from the train station at Ollantaytambo, we looked for the white car that we were in the day before. But we did not see it or anyone with the sign. Turns out, we were assigned to be on a bus filled with people from a trek of the Inca Trails. While we thoroughly enjoyed our Panoramic train ride, this late ride on a packed bus was not the private transport we had in mind, or were looking forward to. Katia was very kind to try to keep in touch with us until we returned to our hotel in Cusco. However, our contact was very limited because we did not have wifi signal most of the time we were on the road. This same tour, if booked on Trip Advisor, would include the train ride all the way back to Cusco. I do not know why the trip through Tourradar is different. It was definitely an inconvenience and challenge, especially since Katia was not assigned to return with us. We would been able to deal with the different driver / vehicle situation much easier if our guide was with us. Similarly, it was "interesting" that our tour guide was not booked to be on the train with us from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes on Day 1. Her ticket was for a completely different time. Luckily, Katia was able to change her ticket to the same time, but she was still not in the same car as us. Altogether, my daughter and I enjoyed our time and experience with our guide, Katia. We hope TreXperience and Tourradar can work out the "transportation kinks" and make this a problem-free, total 5-star experience for their customers.
