Peter – Norway

In particular our guide, Roger, was fantastic. He must be the best guide TreXperience has, and one of the best I have experienced during many years of worldwide travel.

O
Octavian – Romania

Fillo was the most amazing guide I’ve ever met! He took care of everything in every detail and helped alot with the headaches during hiking as I wasn’t used to that altitude. Amazing experience that I will never forget! Fillio, you gave us an outstanding experience during the Salkantay trek! Big up for the cook, Estevan, amazing chef and the peruvian food was top notch. And for the porters, all my respect, they are so hardworking. Totally recommend, the locations, the staff, the schedule, 10/10!

The Salkantay Trek was great. Also the organization and accommodation along the way. Plenty of meals, no own snacks are necessary. Rental sleeping bag was clean and warm. For Macchu Pichu two guides are not enough, in case the is splitted due to different circles and activities.
