The tour was very thorough- every question was answered with great detail. Filio took his time through the tour and made sure we saw everything we wanted.

We scheduled too late to do the four-day full Inca Trail, but loved the one-day hike alternative. Our guide Juan Jose (Jota) was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We saw some of the best sections of the trail including Wiñay Wayna and entered Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate. TreXperience put together an entire custom itinerary for us for two weeks. With the shorter hike we had time to do a second day in Machu Picchu and climb Wanya Picchu. Overall, a great trip with good arrangements with a small personalized treatment instead of a large group.

Our family of 5 joined a small group for this one-day hike along the famous Inca trail leading to Machu Picchu. This hike gives you exclusive access to certain areas of Machu Picchu, in addition to visiting 3 different Inca sites along the way. I must mention our energetic guide Wilian Elvis - of course he passionately explained the history of these sites of his ancestors, as well as countless flowers, fruit, and birds, but more than once he saw someone looking hot or tired, and without a thought threw their backpack over his own for a couple of miles. As for the trip: we took a train from Ollantaytambo to the Inca site Chachabamba, after which we climbed around 1500 feet through the majestic Andes mountains towards Wiñaywayna. This was the most difficult part of the hike, and was quite warm as the sun came out, but overall it was fairly moderate with plenty of places to rest in the shade, and always an amazing view. You can see the Inca site Wiñaywayna as you approach, and you immediately appreciate the fact that it was carved from the side of very steep and inhospitable terrain. This fact was reinforced as we huffed up a few hundred incredibly steep steps just to get from the bottom of Wiñaywayna to the top. From here, the trail leveled out for a few miles of shaded, cool, and incredibly lush jungle, marked with occasional green serpentina stone, followed by a climb to the Sun Gate, from where we could see Machu Picchu. The final part of the hike was all downhill descending into the upper part of Machu Picchu for photos. It's incredibly rewarding to see Machu Picchu for the first time after hiking the Inca trail, even if it's just for one day. We highly recommend it!

I really enjoyed our guide and our travel experience. The arranged food is also really good but the hotel conditions could improve.

We are traveling in a group of 7 and was paired with our guide Gary. He met us online a day before to give us details on the day hike. We started the walk at around 8am and ended up at our el mapi hotel ( booked on our own ) by 430pm. Gary helped us with bus and train tickets and gave a clear and encouraging instructions on the steps and how to navigate the terrain. Gary fed us stories and gave great explanations on the history of the Inca empire. It was a very scenic walk with slight rain and misty landscape. The view was worth all the workout involved!
