Fantastic tour - and wonderful service from Lima Tours. Our tour guide, Ulysses, was fantastic. Our only recommendation would be a later flight on the day we flew from Lima to Cusco. There was no need to get to Cusco as early as we did.
Inca Treasures, Private Tour - T
Trevor • traveled in January
A few months before traveling to Machu Picchu, I reached out to 5 different Machu Picchu tour operators to inquire about their offerings. While everyone was quite similar, there were a few very important and very specific details that TrexPerience offered that outshined everyone else, and it was a no-brainer for us to book our trip with this great team. Here were the items that made the difference that made us choose TrexPerience. 1. It was no issue specifying exactly which train time and cabin type we wanted to and from Machu Picchu. We were staying at El Albergue in Ollaytaytambo - the actual location of the train station - meaning we were extremely flexible, yet other companies were forcing us into train times that they preferred. Also, on the return trip, we wanted to see the scenery all the way to Poroy station in Cuzco rather than having to take the bus all the way from Ollaytaytambo, and Trexperience was totally okay with that, explaining that many tourists prefer to disembark at Olly and take the bus to Cuzco as it is shorter time to travel, and that sometimes it is only option as weather can prevent the train from getting to Poroy, but if the weather cooperated we could get all the way to Poroy, and we were very happy to experience this part of the trip - a very pleasant section of the trip where only a few people remained on the train. 2. Incredibly efficient communication before and during travels. Emails and WhatsApp messages were replied to immediately. The COVID situation in Peru and Machu Picchu was seemingly changing every couple of days, and Trexperience always relayed the latest information, including accurately projecting which permits would likely be available when we actually arrived. 3. Hotel option in Aguas Clients was higher rated compared to others…and it ended up being an incredible room at the Susanna Inn overlooking the raging Urubamba River and had a great breakfast in the morning. 4. Arranging a combination of getting us a duffel bag for some items to go to Aguas Calientes and other items to get back to Cuzco. They also ended up letting us keep the duffel bag which was very kind and necessary as we had acquired some gifts and needed extra space.

The guides were excellent! Venessa, Jorge, and Alix were all extremely knowledgeable and lovely to spend time with. Our drivers were great. The itineraries were well thought out. Two of our four hotels were outstanding (The hotel in Lima and in Ottantaytambo), and two were just ok (the hotel in Cusco and in Machu Picchu) but all were clean and excellently located. We had a great time. Thank you.
