    · February 13th, 2025
    We had an amazing time on our short in a trail adventure. Our guide Kate was awesome- she really helped me through some of the struggles I was having and created a beautiful, spiritual, unforgettable experience for us. She had amazing knowledge of the history and passed it on to us in a very special way. We were fed unbelievably well and just absolutely loved the whole experience. Amazing communication from Trexperience - would 100% recommend them. A highlight of our lives that we will never forget! Thankyou so much!

    Our guides, JJ and Pepe, made our trip an unforgettable experience. They were knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and made sure everyone reached each destination smoothly. They were very patient, encouraged us to hike at our own speed, and made sure we had plenty of time to take photos and take breaks between destinations. I learned so much about Peruvian culture, history, and society on this trip. Highly recommend!

    This tour exceeded my expectations. Trexperience had great organization/coordination and logistics of the many pieces involved with visiting Machu Picchu. I felt safe knowing that they handled and thought of everything. The hike was amazing. JJ and Pepe took care of us, managing everyone’s different paces and needs. They are clearly experts, kind, fun, and professional in their work. Highly recommend.

    I recently completed the Inca Trail over two days, and it was an incredible experience. Although the trek was little challenging, our guides, JJ and Pepe, were amazing. They were not only encouraging but also incredibly patient, which made the journey much easier. The two days were filled with beautiful scenery, delicious fresh food, and comfortable accommodations. Overall, it was a wonderful adventure, and I highly recommend it this company to anyone looking to explore the Inca Trail!
