  • Machu Picchu by Train: 2-Day, 1-Night Adventure reviewer 1
    · July 18th, 2025
    We had a really nice experience with our tour guides JJ and William. JJ has told us a lot about the different places we have visited during the hike. The tour in general was it really worth especially since we have seen the place Winaywayna which we would not have seen only by visiting the Machu Picchu.

    JJ and William were great tour guides. I’m very slow and they would regularly let me know that they want me to enjoy and not rush. One would be with the normal paced group and one would walk in the back with me. I appreciated them very much. All the food was delicious for all meals. JJ does a great job setting expectations and making sure we understand where to go and when. He has eyes in the back of his head and knows where every one of us are at all times.

    This was such a beautiful experience, MP really is a sacred and special place and my guides Vicente and Renato made sure that every detail was in place so we didn’t have to worry about anything and could simply fully enjoy the entire experience. Vicente has so much incredible knowledge with a spicy delivery ;) and it made things even more engaging and memorable. Both made me feel so cared for and part of a community. From the transport, to the hike, to the insanely good food, to the great hotel, to the party train on the way back, I can’t think of a single thing that wasn’t absolute perfection. I can’t recommend this hike enough!

    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!

    Asked on April 19th, 2025

    Would it be possible to be picked up from Cusco on the 30th of November and join the tour on 1st of December?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten April 2025

      Yes, it's absolutely possible to travel to Aguas Calientes a day earlier to acclimatize. We can arrange your train ticket from Cusco (or Ollantaytambo) to Aguas Calientes on November 30th, and you would join the group tour to Machu Picchu on December 1st, or we can add an extra day and night and you can join the tour on Decembe 2nd.

      Edward

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Which tour should I book in that case? The one for the 30th of November or 1st of December?

    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten April 2025

      The best option would be to start your trek on November 30. Could you please confirm whether you would like to book the extra night in Aguas Calientes on your own, or if you'd prefer that we assist with the accommodation?

    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten December 2023

      Unfortunately, all of December is sold out entry tickets to Machu Picchu. Tour includes transportation back to Cusco with estimated arrival time at 7:00 pm, which should work with your 8:30 PM flight.
