Top 10 Life Moment - Absolute amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience!!! Stunning sites and amazing history. Most importantly I have never had an experience like with Trexperience. This is a fantastic company where every employee takes meticulous care of you, which made the challenge of the hike luxurious! Even small details such as origami swan napkins at dinner or hot water buckets each night at the tent for washing yourself. I cannot recommend Trexperience more!!!

Recommend!!!! - We traveled 30 hours from Korea to Peru for our honeymoon. This was one of the most anticipated parts of our trip, and our guide Manolo perfectly met my expectations. He reassured us when we felt physically exhausted and took care of us the whole time. Main chef Alejandro provided abundant and delicious meals every day, leaving no room for hunger. All the porters we were with were also very kind. If you recommend this tour, I sincerely hope it is with Manolo's team!

Truly one of the best experiences ever! - Our private 4 day Inca trek to Machu Picchu was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Filio was outstanding! He was kind, encouraging and his passion for the history of the Incas and local culture as well as his vast knowledge of the local plant life was incredibly informative. We learned so much from him. His calm demeanor and fun personality helped make our trek a fun and unforgettable experience. Our chef, Alejandro was top notch as well. He catered to our dietary needs and made the most delicious meals. He was so kind and sweet too! We enjoyed our porters. They worked so hard. Witnessing them going up and down the mountains so quickly with their huge packs was incredible! We couldn’t have asked for a better crew and trip!!

Private 4D3N Inca Trail Experience - A group of us did the private 4D Inca Trail tour with Abelardo and we could not have asked for a better experience!! The trek was quite challenging so it took us a few days to pick up our pace but Abelardo was always patient and motivated us to keep going throughout the whole trek. It was admirable how passionate he is about what he does and he had abundant knowledge about everything about the trail and beyond. Also, our team of porters and chefs were incredible. They are the real heroes of the whole trek. Can't appreciate them enough for taking care of us from beginning to end and our chef for spoiling us with so much delicious food! 100% recommend Trexperience for those who are looking to do the Inca Trail!!!

4 day trek with 2 children - We are a family of 4 with two children who wanted to complete the Inca trail and could not be happier with the results. Our guide Monolo was patient, knowledgeable and made multiple adjustments to make sure our children were safe and comfortable at all times. Everything was planned well and we are grateful for the experience.

An Experience of a Lifetime - Hiking to Machu Picchu has been a life long bucket list trip for me. I came as prepared as I could be, and it was definitely nothing I could have ever anticipated in the best way ( apart from hiking miles and miles of stairs each day)! One of the main reasons this hike was as successful and enjoyable as it was, is due to Abelardo, Sebastian, our particular cooks, and porters that we hired to be our guides through TreXperience. TreXperience is one of the few LOCAL Peruvian Inka Trail guide companies ( not based out of the US or Canada). It’s hard to put into words the physical, emotional, and spiritual experience hiking the Inca Trail is, and I know my experience was enhanced because of our particular guides. Abelardo was full of knowledge, history, and passion for his heritage as well as being in nature. His insights and soul made our trip deeper and more meaningful. He gave us opportunities to feel into our experiences, the Inca people, Cusco, and Peruvian history. This isn’t his just his job, this is his way of life. He invited us to truly lean in to our experience and take the time to be on the mountain. Our assistant guide, Sebastian was knowledgeable, well spoken, kind, personable, genuine, fun and deeply available to our group. He even raced me down the stairs after Dead Woman Pass. A freedom that I won’t forget. This experience that has changed me and the way I see the world. Our driver, Giovanni was safe, careful, kind, and courteous on the road. Amilcar, our chef, made food each day an experience! As someone who backpacks, never would I have anticipated the amazing meals we were provided. It was healthy, filling, and absolutely delicious. I had such an authentic and deeply moving experience along the trail. We were able to meet our porters and cooks, connect and share with them as they shared with us. These people made it possible for me to live out a life long dream. Do you research- and ask for THIS group of men who made this possible. I don’t write reviews- but it was such a standout group that I absolutely want everyone who ever hikes this trail to do it with these men. You will not regret it. This was not just a hike, it was a portal to parts of myself I needed to meet, as well as to a place in history that I will ever be connected to. If hiking to Machu Picchu is on your bucket list, don’t do it without Abé, Sebastian, Giovanni, Amilcar, and the group of porters associated with our hike through TreXperience.

Alberado is the best! - Great service! Abelardo and Sebastian were great. These guys really know their stuff! Ask for them and you won’t regret. We had a wonderful trip, thx to the porters, chef, and staff. The food was top notch, the hike was challenging, but the history and views were incredible! This company is top notch and easy to help accommodate our needs. We also did a tour of Cusco, sacred valley, hiked Huayna mountain, and finished our trip with Rainbow mountain/red valley. We had a blast.

INKA TRAIL AMAZING - This was one in a lifetime experience! The landscapes, to be challenged to complete every stage by the hand of our tour guides Jose & Isa and of course with the incredible work of our porters crew makes this Inka trail amazing!

Great hike, very enjoyable - Overall, it was a great hike, fantastic views, tough but not that bad. Our guides (Torro and Puma) were very good. They had a lot of patience and time to help everyone and really pushed to keep the energy levels up when everyone was tired. The real heroes were the porters who not only completed the same route as us but did it faster and with bigger and heavier bags. I can only hope they are being well paid because they really deserve it. As someone who has been on other multi day hikes, it felt weird watching someone else carry your clothes while you just carry a day bag. That being said, the one thing I would consider a problem is how infrequent the water refills were possible, in some areas more than others, it was needed more and more. Also tipping was a point of contention. Naturally we wanted to be fair with our tips but since we were limited to what we had brought on day 1 and not spent on drinks or snacks, it would be nice to have a clear understanding of the tips ahead of time.
