10/10 Machu Picchu Hike - I went on the 4 day hike with Eddy Puma the travel guide, Oscar the chef and Felix the head Porter. Eddy and the team elevated the experience from a hike to an experience I will not forget. I would define Eddy and the teams approach as passion, positivity and fun. All the porters were positive and passionate about the experience we were undergoing. Eddys knowledge and passion on the Inca history made the hike. He invited us to partake in Inca tradition. He was always smiling, always positive and always patient with the group. I will not forget this trip. Thankyou boys!

Amazing guide, food and porters! - Had an incredible trip with amazing people! We were very unlucky because there was a fire on the Inca trail but our tour guide, Wilian, found us an awesome alternate route to do. He is an amazing tour guide! The food was incredible and the porters were incredible. Oscar, the chef, was making incredible meals at every meal. An amazing service all round! The admin from the company could have been better, but I think they could easily improve on that front.

Inca Trail Success - Great hike with excellent crew. The porters were amazing im their strength and dedication. The all came out to rescue us one night when we were caught out in the dark and rain. The food was excellent. Great Chef and assistant, Our guide Sara was great - very knowledgeable, helpful, and diligent. She did a great job of getting a group of 70 year olds up and over the Inca trail from km 82 to Machu Picchu. We highly recommend TreXperience.

You are never to old to hike the Inca trail! Put it on your bucket list and be sure to go with TreXperience! - The trip was magical and unbelievably amazing. I am a 70 year old female in fairly good shape athletically. The 4 day trek was probably the most challenging physical feat I have ever accomplished. I was part of a private group with my boyfriend and another couple, ages 74 to 75. We were definitely the oldest people on the trail. Sara, our tour guide, was patient and accommodated all our special elderly needs. She adjusted the pace and motivated us with every grueling Inca stone step. The chef and assistant chef prepared mass quantities of delicious and incredible meals. The presentation was high end restaurant quality. I can’t say enough about the porters. They greeted us at every meal with applause and a high five, and waited on our every need. I highly recommend TreXperience. You will not be disappointed. Kudos to Sara and the whole team!

Experience of a lifetime - highly recommended! - This was truly the experience of a lifetime, and something i would highly recommend. Our guide Sara was knowledgeable and gave us a great education in Inca history and traditions. She could not have been more friendly and fun - people from other tour groups were a little jealous I think. Just to be clear from the outset - my husband and I hate camping and tents but in order to the Inca Trail, tents are a necessity. That being said, the amazing porters (Soldado, Puma, Barnaby and the rest) as well as chef Senobio and his assistant Xavier very much softened the blow. The food was delicious, the service impecable. We felt welcome at all times. The hikes themselves were absolutely breathtaking, the Andes are spectacular, the Inca archeological sites are a wonder. Having Sara there to explain their function and features was ideal. I will say that the physical challenge of the Inca trail should not be taken lightly. I recommend at least 2 days in Cusco before undertaking it - bring proper broken in hiking boots, and get some good cardio training for a few months beforehand - you'll see the benefit on day 2 for sure! Some handy tips - Bring earplugs - campsites are noisy places, and the wake ups are early - Wet wipes are essential - Be open minded, be in the moment, and let the Inca history culture into your heart

Trip of a lifetime with the best guide - I recently completed the 4 day inca trail in a group of four with trexperience we had 11 porters and one chef to carry everything needed for four days of camping and meals every day. These porters are superhuman hiking up granite inca trails with 20kg of supplies tents and cooking equipment. Our guide was Pepe who was the best guide you could wish for. At breakfast he would outline our day and give us lots of information so we knew what to expect on the trails he would give us information on the history of the inca people and the ruins we came across. Pepe is a very knowledgeable guide and he is a credit to Trexperience he is super wow wow..

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.
