    Spectacular! From start to finish everything was clear and well organized. Pick up went as planned and the ride was comfortable, the company also stored the rest of our stuff. We were given duffle bags for things that we didn't want or need in our day backs and those were carried by amazing porters, more on them later. We also rented sleeping bags, inflatable pads and tracking poles -everything was in very good condition and served us well. The food throughout the whole trek was just out of this world. I don't know how they managed to cook such an wholesome dishes in conditions that one finds on a hike, but it was incredible, from traditional Peruvian soups, ceviche to cakes (yes, that's right). The guides were always helpful, cheerful and ready to say something interesting. Porters were supporting and the service they provide is unbelievable, we didn't worry about anything (and there is a lot of things to worry about/they provide: food, camps, water, tents and other facilities), because we knew that we can rely on them. We got to see sooo many lovely views, animals, plants and history, while hiking safely and supporting the local people. Inca trail is hard but so worth it. Thank you Trexperience for a chance to be a part of this.

    Incredible - from start to finish, this was amazing. Adolfo and Yoner, our tour guides, did everything they could to make this a fantastic experience, and Adolfo's Quechua heritage added real depth and knowledge to the trek. And the food... How the chef, Rolando, managed to make so much amazing food (honestly - every meal three courses of better quality than most of the restaurants we ate in pre/post trek) with just the equipment carried by the porters is unbelievable. They even made and decorated a cake for our penultimate day as three of us had big birthdays that month! And as for the Inca Trail itself - magical. If you're interested, I suggest just doing it without researching the route too much, so you don't anticipate the Inca settlements etc that you'll come across along the way, and you'll feel the full impact of the awe inspired by these amazing places - each day better than the last. There are some serious heights and precipitous drops to tackle, but if you're like me and go wobbly at the knees from such things, the route builds you up slowly so by the 4th day you're able to deal with them - and even Huayna Picchu at the end (very much recommended)! All in all, 100% recommended, especially with this team. Just make sure you're fully acclimatised to the altitude before starting this amazing experience.

    The whole experience was excellent. From introduction to returning us to our hotel. The guide, elisban, and porters took care of everything and the food was unbelievable. I still don't understand how the chef made some of those dishes with a camping stove. I would recommend this company to anyone.
