- AAkanksha· October 29th, 2025We did the 2-day Inca Trail hike with TreXperience and had a wonderful overall experience. The hike itself was beautiful but quite strenuous, so be prepared for a challenge. The porters were amazing, they worked so hard and prepared delicious meals that perfectly accommodated our dietary restrictions. Our guide, Katy, led us along the trail and helped coordinate everything smoothly.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Gerald· October 25th, 2025Our Machu Picchu trek was amazing! Everything was well organized, the food was great, the hike was so beautiful, and our guide Katie was the best. She shared so much of her culture with us and made the experience everything we wanted!Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Philip· October 25th, 2025The two day Machu Picchu tour was amazing! My friends and I had such an amazing experience as the trip was well coordinated. Our guide Katie was phenomenal, and did such an awesome job making us feel at ease and incorporating so much history and her own personal history through the trek. The porters and chef were rockstars despite being short staffed and we had delicious meals and a very comfortable camping experience despite the weather! So many logistics to coordinate four our group of four and they really knocked it out of the park. A bonus for us was how well our guide paced us throughout the hike. No matter your physical level trek experience will ensure you have a good time! I’d recommend Tour to anyone, especially if Katie is your guideShow moreTrip date: September 2025
- Joao Vitor· October 25th, 2025Amazing experience overall. The trekking is pristine, with great care and preparing taking place. Having said that, our experience would not have been half as good if not for the wonderful Cati, our guide. Her attention and care were unmatched, her disposition and happiness contagious, and she definitely showed us the best time possible. If not for the great trek, I would do it again just for her.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
- andrew· October 21st, 2025This was such a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I was traveling with a group of 4 and decided on the 2-day Shirt Inca Trail tour which was well worth it. The booking process was very simple and communication was very clear from the beginning. The experience of hiking the trail itself was so amazing but the support staff, specifically our guide Katie, made it an experience to remember. The drivers were very prompt, the chefs cooked us amazing meals, the porters transported our belongings to our camp. Our guide Katie not only led us along the trail, she shared her culture with us, explained the importance of the sites we trekked through, and spoke about the ecological, historical, and archeological aspects along the way. Katie had such a warm and uplifting energy about her and went out of her way to make sure our group was prepared and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend this tour more and if at all possible would suggest requesting Katie as your guide.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Jake· October 21st, 2025We had an amazing time. Our guide Katie was very helpful and insightful throughout, and the crew kept us well fed and even accommodated a vegan diet as well as others. We saw all sorts of plant life with insanely breathtaking views pretty much the entire time during the trek, and in addition to Machu Picchu you also get to see several other Inca sites. Overall 10/10 experience that I will never forget.Show more
Trip date: October 2025 - Hetvi· September 4th, 2025I had a great time doing the short inca trail. Also big thanks to Kate, our tour guide for sharing the history and giving a personal insight to the culture and spirituality of the incas. Enjoyed the food prepared by the chefs during the hike. Had a great team to hike up to macchu picchu with. Would definitely visit again and explore other parts of cusco with Trexperience.Show moreTrip date: August 2025
