Our family of five just returned from an unforgettable journey in Peru, completing the 4-day, 3-night Inca Trail Hike and arriving at Machu Picchu on New Year’s Eve. This trip was nothing short of spectacular! Our kids—ages 26, 24, and 20—enjoyed every moment as much as we did. First and foremost, our guides, Pepe and Sebastian, made this adventure truly memorable with their engaging storytelling and constant encouragement along the trail. As a 54-year-old, I can attest that this was one of the most physically challenging experiences I've ever faced. Be prepared for some early mornings (ranging from 3:30 to 4:30 AM) and a rigorous hike through incredibly varied terrain—it's tough to say what’s harder, the uphill or the downhill! Walking sticks are essential! You’ll spend considerable time reflecting, pushing through personal barriers, and summoning the will to keep moving. But the feeling of accomplishment when reaching a mountain peak or arriving at the campsite each evening is indescribable. While Machu Picchu is the ultimate destination, it was the journey leading there, the camaraderie among our group, and the delicious meals that stood out the most. We bonded with fellow hikers from the U.S., Germany, the UK, and Australia—sharing laughter and stories that will last a lifetime. A special shout-out to our amazing chef, Ceasar, and his assistant, who prepared the most phenomenal meals deep in the Amazon forest. I’m still in awe of how they crafted unique and delicious dishes day after day, even culminating in a full-sized cake on our final day! We had 20 porters assigned to our group, and they were truly superhuman. Their speed in breaking down camp and surpassing us on the trail while carrying heavy loads was impressive! They are some of the hardest working and most friendly people we’ve ever met. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to Pepe and Sebastian for your patience and support as I often lagged behind on the climbs. Your encouragement kept me going, and my family will forever treasure this Inca Trail adventure in our hearts and memories. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Amazing Tour! All the way around, exceeded all expectations. The guides were perfect, professional yet fun and friendly, very very knowledgeable. Don't think twice, this is the tour your looking for, you will not be disappointed. If I could give more stars I would.

We had a vague idea about the Inka Trail experience but we we under estimated everything. We had wonderful food while out on the trail and in the restaurants and hotels were dined in. Our guides, Christian and William, anticipated our needs and responded professionally and responsibly. The breadth of material presented displayed Christian’s dedication to accuracy while encouraging us to imagine our own conclusions and interpretations. If you are considering trekking the Inka Trail with a guided tour of Machu Picchu, this is for you. Personal, professional guides in a well-planned excursion.

I cannot recommend TreXperience and the 4 day Inca Trail Trek enough. I went with two other girls and it was an experience I’ll never forget. TreXperience was an incredible company to work with, they ran everything smoothly and I never had to worry about anything. Our guides Juan and Neil were so knowledgeable and Celso the chef worked wonders on the trail. I can’t emphasize enough how great the food was, I don’t know how he and his team made it happen, but it was always incredible. We saw other groups on the trail and based on my observations TreXperience was 100% the right choice. The support staff, porters, chefs, guides, and drivers were all amazing and had our best interest in mind. I had a great time with them and they deserve a 10/10 for their work.

I would like this review to be a huge shout out to our wonderful Tour Guides- Abuelardo and Elias. They both were phenomenal, smiling faces all through the trails, encouraging us, guiding us, pushing us to go above and beyond our capacities. Special mention to Abuelardo who stayed by me though I was the slowest in the group but kept motivating me all through the trail, he even carried our backpack for majority of the trip as we were tired. The tour in general was extremely well planned starting from the Hotel pickup to train/tour bookings to the hotel in Machu Picchu and the panaromic train back was amazing. We were vegetarians and they took full care of our dietary restrictions and made us fresh yummy Vegetarian food even on top of the mountain. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great experience in Machu Picchu.
