    · September 4th, 2025
    I 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.

    Jason and Elias are the best guide team anyone could ever ask for. They created an excellent team atmosphere while, at the same time, taking care of every detail and passing on the knowledge of history, flora, fauna, and everyday life.

    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!

    Edward

    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.
