Sacred Valley Vip + Short Inca Trail To Machu Picchu 3 Days

Juan was our guide through the sacred valley and he was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable about the history of each site we visited and had the best stories of his past adventures through the jungle and sacred ruins. He was also just very kind, communicative and made us feel comfortable and organized through our sacred valley tour.

An Exceptional, VIP Experience in Peru – Highly Recommended! We contacted this tour operator to combine two of their tours into one seamless, extended 8-day private trip for two, and the experience exceeded every expectation! From Lima, Cusco, the Nazca Lines, the dunes, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and more! From the original booking process to the end of our journey, our travel agent, Jazmin, communicated with us in excellent English via email and ensured every detail was taken care of. Her organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the entire process effortless. We also greatly appreciated that we could have the entire tour pre-paid before we started. From the moment our trip began, we were treated like VIPs. We stayed in outstanding hotels, were recommended to wonderful restaurants, all tickets handled and had exceptional local guides who were knowledgeable, professional, and spoke, a native language, Spanish and excellent English. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully planned and executed. There was no hidden costs and a lot of other tourists were jealous of our guides and ability to have all tickets managed prior to arrival. A special mention goes to Marco, who absolutely blew us away with his professionalism and remarkable ability to anticipate our needs before we even had to ask. His attention to detail, genuine care, and commitment to making our experience exceptional made a lasting impression on us. As a couple in our 60s, we especially appreciated the comfortable pace of the tour. Everything was tailored to our needs, every detail was handled, and whenever an unexpected issue arose, it was resolved quickly and efficiently. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, punctual, and truly all-inclusive tour operator to experience the best of Peru without the stress of managing all the logistics yourself, look no further. This company delivers an outstanding, personalized travel experience from beginning to end. Our highest praise and heartfelt thanks go to Jazmin and Marco for making our Peruvian adventure so memorable. We would recommend this tour operator without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to Peru! Book with them—you will be glad you did!

Juan Miranda was a fun, knowledgeable guide who showed us around remarkable sights in Sacred Valley! We will never forget this trip!

We had an amazing 3-day, 2-night experience with TreXperience! Everything was well organized, and our guide Juan was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Inca history and culture. He made the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu experience even more memorable. Highly recommend TreXperience and Juan!

The Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu were spectacular and, on their own, made the trip to Peru worthwhile. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the operation of TreXperience. The booking process was excellent — efficient and responsive. Once I’d paid in full, however, communication became a bit of an endurance sport. I repeatedly had to chase basic information such as pick-up times, train schedules and hotel details. Given that TreXperience had already booked these, why wasn't a detailed itinerary emailed a day or two before the trip? The communication was also inconsistent. Some people in our group received a detailed itinerary while others didn’t. After several requests, I finally received mine — along with an apology — on the last night of the tour. Our guides were put in a difficult position, having to manage guests with different information. A simple, consistent itinerary sent to everyone beforehand would have avoided much of the confusion. The hotels in Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes were another disappointment. They weren’t particularly comfortable and, given the price of the package and the accommodation options available in these tourist towns, I expected better. A big shout-out to our assistant guide, Evans, who remained calm, positive and patient when guests were confused or frustrated. Muchas gracias, Evans! Elisban, the emergency contact working behind the scenes, was also helpful and professional. Overall, the destination gets five stars; TreXperience’s organisation gets considerably fewer. The communication, logistics and accommodation need significant improvement. The trip was an adventure; getting basic information shouldn’t feel like chasing a llama up a mountain in high altitude!

I did the sacred valley + short inca trail tour. The guides, accommodations, meals and transfers were all excellent. Jose Frank and Rosa were especially great and made the trip an unforgettable experience. I would recommend Trexperience to all of my friends.

Monica is a good guide, detail oriented, patient, strict, and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed my time with her.

This tour was such an incredible experience! Pamela was our guide for the Sacred Valley portion, and she shared much history about the Inca sites we visited. Roger and Fernando were our guides for the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and were helpful and fun. I enjoyed all the interesting history Roger shared throughout the tour. The chefs prepared delicious food on the hiking day. Everything was perfect!

This trip was an incredible way to visit many significant Inca places in the Sacred Valley. The next day, the hike to Machu Picchu was beautiful. On the third day I enjoyed learning more about the history of Machu Picchu from our guide Roger and walking through the site. Pamela, Roger, and Fernando were great guides

It was an amazing trip to Machu Picchu. Everything was well organised. Our guide Jason was fun and very knowledgeable, and his assistants Abel and Balbino were also very helpful.

Katia was an excellent tour guide. We had an amazing trip with her from Cusco through the Sacred Valley. She was very informative and full of knowledge. A fantastic cultural experience. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Trexperience, especially Katia!

This was a great tour with lots of information. The sites are pretty fascinating and our guide, Frank, was able to answer all of our questions. This is a very long day as the sites are a bit of a drive from each other. I didn't feel like it was rushed at all. We did get to Ollantaytambo at the end of the day but we still had time to explore the site.

A tour you don’t wanna miss!!! We had frank as our guide for the sacred valley day tour and he was so lovely. Such a knowledge and patient tour guide. Then for our 2 day Inca trail hike we had babino and nilton as our guides, who were exceptional. The breakfast and lunch the chefs had prepared for us on the hike was delicious that it will have you waddling after lunch when you continue your hike. The group that we were with also such amazing people. I highly recommend Trexperience if you’re coming to Cusco.

We had a great day with Jason providing the information about the Incas and great driving by James. We went at a nice comfortable pace no rushing. Some of the roads are very windy and up and down, all part of the great experience. First day fantastic 2 more to go which if anything like today we are in for a treat.

With limited time to travel, I chose a quick trip to Machu Picchu so I could fit as much as possible into just a few days. Caesar from TreXperience was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of history at every site we visited. As a solo traveler, I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. I’d highly recommend TreXperience for any travel needs—everyone was helpful and professional from booking all the way through the airport drop-off.

I enjoyed my 3 day Sacred Valley/ Machu Picchu tour with TreXperience. They provided exactly what was promised. The staff, drivers and guides were punctual, professional and extremely friendly. Katia, my guide, was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and fun. I would recommend TreXperience and Katia to anyone seeking a first class Machu Picchu experience.

Our tour guide, Rene was extremely knowledgeable and personable, he made this trip! I couldn't give it 5 stars for a couple of reasons: The hotels were just ok, truly they should have included 4-star hotels in this package as this 3-day package was quite expensive. One of the restaurants we ate at had a limited menu and the food was just ok. Let me not forget to thank the drivers, they were awesome!

This was a great tour. Our day one instructor - Frank - was very knowledgeable and gave a great balance of information and time for self exploration throughout the Sacred Valley. We loved the amount of places visited. Beware day 2&3 you will join a different group - we were not aware of this until Frank dropped us off at our Hotel in Ollantaytambo on night one and said goodbye. Day 2 we met our next 2 instructors - Gary & Fernando. These guys are great guides, Nando kept the hike moving and a great pace which we loved. Gary provided great information at all sites along the way - he was awesome! The meals included on this day were all fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Hotel accom also exceeded expectations on night 2. Very happy. Day 3 was when we got to go into Machu Picchu, Gary provided even more great information. My partner and I had booked the extra hike up Wayna Picchu last minute. I suggest you ask the guides about this at the time of booking and add on if fit. My partner and I got to the top in 30 minutes. We then headed back to town to have lunch and begin the journey back. Strangely lunch was organised for us on the last day, however it is not included in the tour price so beware. I would suggest this be made more clear to the guests. The journey back does not begin until a 3:50 train from Aguas Calientes. We didn’t get to our hotel in Cusco until after 8pm, quite a long day after the 5:30am start! Overall, a great tour with even better guides. I would suggest that there be options for an earlier departure on the final day if desired. Seeing as though we didn’t get to pick the lunch restaurant and then had to pay, we would have preferred to pick our own and make our way back to Cusco earlier. Definitely recommend!

An amazing day tour of the Sacred Valley on our journey to Ollantaytambo with Frank. We stopped at many Inca ruins and interesting sites in the Andes region, with a wealth of knowledge shared at each stop. Would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a taste of the Inca history in the Sacred Valley.

We had a wonderful time with Tairo (our guide). The view along the Inca trail and Machhu Picchu are amazing. Tairo is exceptoonal, helpful, friendly and tried to give us the historical background and information which are much appreciated. I believe he had a wonderful time with us as well. Not forgetting my wonderful experience with Jazmin om my booking of the tour 6 months back. Trexperience is 🙌👏🥰

Monica was an absolute gem! From start to finish, she made our trip unforgettable. Always punctual, with a spotless, modern van, she combined professionalism with a wonderful sense of fun. Her deep knowledge of the area brought every stop to life, and after three days together, it truly felt like we had gained a friend. The itinerary was perfectly planned—packed with must-see highlights and exciting activities we never could have organized on our own. We’re so grateful for Monica and this tour, and we’d recommend it to anyone wanting to experience this beautiful part of the world.

Our guide Rene was incredible! Very knowledgeable about the area and history. Our 3 day tour took us around Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu and was well organized. We had transportation and hotels ready for us at every point.

We were very pleased we decided to add the Sacred Valley Day tour before the Inca Trail hike. We had a small group led by Katia, who was very knowledgeable and efficient at getting us through all the days sites and activities. It would have been very difficult to see these sites without a tour, and it helped inform us about the Inca culture. Our hike was led by Frank and Alex, both wonderful guides! They were knowledgeable, patient, kind and friendly. Our group had a range of hikers from the ages in the 20's to 70s! There were 2 families of 4 and participants from around the globe. It was a fun group, our family enjoyed everyone's company. Frank did an awesome job leading the group and informing us about the Inca culture and guiding us through the sites. Alex also very informative; I really appreciated his patients as I was at the back as I struggled a little with the altitude. He was always encouraging and fun to talk to. Overall, I was very pleased with the organization of the 3-day tour. The food on the hike was excellent, some of my favorite on our trip! I was happy with all aspects, including the hotels, bus transfers, restaurant selections, trains, and guides! Thank you for a wonderful time.

We had an amazing time on our trip! Our tour guide Katie Duran was brilliant, she was so friendly and knowledgable and very passionate about her heritage. We felt safe and in good hands and thoroughly enjoyed our trip!

Our flight was delayed so we missed the first half day in Cuzco, but Trexperience was very accommodating and flexible getting us joined with the group when we finally arrived. Our guides for the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail and tour of Machu Picchu were exceptional. They provided passionate and informative descriptions of both Incan culture and sites we visited. Their expertise and presentation made the trip unforgettable.

A really fab tour of the sacred valley with Roger who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout. We then continued on to the Inca trail and Machu Picchu. Would have appreciated a slower pace for the Inca trail as some of the group became very left behind with no guide helping explain and to have free time to explore Machu Picchu but the overall experience was great

The 3 day trek was awesome. Jennifer who did the day 1 trip with us was amazing. Christian and David who directed the rest of the tour were really good too. The food on day 2 was exceptional!. Everything was organized very well including the pickup from our hotel on day 1 followed by the lunch and dinners organized along the way. The route picked up was very well planned. The trek was moderately difficult; the views along the route stunning and the information provided by Jennifer and Christian made the trip special. Highly recommend!

Jennifer, David and Christan were amazing guides, they took care of us very well. Great food every time they arranged even on top of a mountain in a remote place. We had a wonderful time not worrying about the whole trip, everything was very well planned. Thank you Trexperience!

Amazing views of Machu Picchu and other Inca structures. Had a lot of fun especially during the main 4 hr hike and it was a great challenge!

For 32 years I dreamed of hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. After careful consideration I booked a 3 day journey with TreXperience. Outside of some confusion due to being told by the company conflicting information during the final days before the trip we made arrangements with our first guide Adrian in Cusco the night before our initial journey into the Sacred Valley. Adrian was kind and took so much time to share details and answer questions about all the places we visited on our first day. We truly appreciated the day with him and was sad to learn that he would not be with us for the remainder of our journey. Also, our driver Richard was a great guy. On day two after spending the night in Ollantaytambo we were picked up at our hotel by Jason at 5:30 am where we joined the group who we would be hiking with and headed to the train station. Our journey by train lasted just over an hour to where we picked up the Inca Trail. After a short walk we had a nice breakfast. Then we started the real hike. We walked at a pretty fast pace for a couple hours. The second hour was the most challenging of the day as it was a pretty steep climb. In fact we walked so fast that we arrived at least 30 minutes ahead of when we were expected to. We would have appreciated taking things a little slower so we could have enjoyed our surroundings a bit more. After having a little time to explore ruins at our lunch site we had a wonderful meal which was really needed by then. At lunch we met Werner who is a super cool guy. After lunch we were able to walk at a little bit of a slower pace where we were able to enjoy the views and look at all of the plants and flowers which were beyond beautiful. Upon reaching the sun gate and laying eyes on Machu Picchu for the first time we became quite emotional being in the moment and recognizing where we were. After stopping for some photos we hiked for about another 45 minutes to reach Machu Picchu. It was seriously almost surreal being there. I definitely had tears in my eyes. It’s a super spiritual experience standing in such a holy place in the sky. It’s virtually impossible to express in words. We boarded a bus and went to our hotel in Aguas Calientes which is a pretty interesting town which feels in ways like being in Switzerland. We had dinner as a group and went to bed. The final day we boarded buses again back to Machu Picchu. This may have been the most disappointing part as we wanted to spend more time exploring our circuit but Jason seemed to want to take almost an hour at the start to go into great detail about its history. He said he was talking hoping the weather would clear which it did for moments here and there. When he asked us questions and we answered incorrectly he seemed to be trying to make us feel bad. I didn’t appreciate that. So as we moved on we decided to spend more time with Werner who again was cool and allowed us to take photos and actually look around every corner we wanted to. After a few hours we boarded the buses back to aquas caliente where we had a few hours to wander around and grab lunch before we boarded our train back to ollantaytambo and then took a bus back to Cusco. All in all it was a great experience but we would have liked a little slower pace and not for our guide Jason at times to feel condescending to us. However, again high praise especially to Adrian, Richard and Werner. The three of them were truly awesome to get to know.

We travelled to Sacred Valley from Cusco, lots of interesting stops on route including a fabulous buffet lunch. Our guide Hendrick was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly and planned the day out well so we got the most out of it but at a leisurely pace. We stayed that night in Ollantaytambo( Hotel Mistico not the best but ok for 1 night). We met up at 5.30 am the next morning with the rest of the tour group who had travelled from Cusco. This was the day of the Machu Picchu trek. Our tour guide was Jason who was very experienced, organised and motivational. Breakfast in the forest was amazing. The trek was a struggle for my husband and I and we took a long time to complete it. The first half especially up to Winay Wayna was very hard but we managed to arrive at the Machu Picchu viewpoint half hour before sunset. Our guide Jason stuck with us the whole way encouraging us and kept us moving but at our own pace. Please note there are a lot of steps and you do need a very good level of fitness to complete this trek comfortably. The hotel that night in Agua Calientes was fabulous and also the dinner in a local restaurant. Next day was exploration of the Machu Picchu site, a quite amazing and humbling place. Our return was on the Vistadome train which is an experience not to be missed! Amazing views through the huge windows and roof, plus free snacks and the entertainment created a great atmosphere. The trek was an amazing achievement for us and we are sincerely grateful to Jason and TreXperience for helping making this possible.

It was the perfect trail for us. Amazing sights with great guides. Thank you Frank and Fernando for a memorable experience!

I did the 3 day tour. The first day they organised for me to go with a third party operator to the Sacred Valley as there weren't enough people for that part of the tour. I didn't have to do anything, Trexperience organised the whole thing. The hotels were really nice and the 1 day Inca trail was hard but worth it! We had a really good group with Jason and Rozmel as the stars, they were awesome guides and really looked after everyone. On-top of this, the porters and chefs work so hard and provided an amazing lunch for everyone (including me as a vegan and other people with dietary requirements). Would 100% recommend this tour and can't wait to come back to Peru! 🇵🇪🇵🇪

Visited an alpaca farm in the morning and then a jewellery store. There was some encouragement to support local businesses and after that lunch which was a buffet and there was a lot of choice. Then to Moray Terraces, Salineras. Ollantaytambo is probably the most beautiful city for views and scenery I have ever seen. I was very impressed with Katia Duran Munaytika. She was very passionate with her speeches and very helpful. I would recommend her as a guide.

I hesitated about the score for this activity between 3 and 4 stars. You'll read and understand why. My review is divided into two parts: guides and losgistic support. There's a huge difference between them. Guides - 5 stars. We had a guide in the Sacred Valley tour (don't recall his name). He left back to Cusco on day 1,while we stayed overnight in Ollantaytambo. Miguel and Edwar were our guide in days 2&3 in Machu Picchu. Guides were all excellent. Very knowledgeable. Took care of all members of the group. Were very helpful with unexpected issues that popped up (heavy rain, difficulty of one member to walk the trek, transports, luggage, etc.). Beyond all - they highly expressed their love to their country, its history and heritage, and their passion to present it as much as possible to us, the visitors in Peru. Logistic support - 2 stars: A- Travel agency treats this activity as 2 distinct activities. Customer needs to be the integrator. B- Many people work at the office and they do not update each other nor the guides. E.g., we sent our padsport photos 3 weeks before the tour started, but the Inca Trail guide did not have them at day 2. C- After booking the activity and paying in full, agency texted me that they are sorry but they have no permits fot the Machu Picchu park... They proposed other dates, which I had no choice but to accept. D- Our mobile phone number was copied with errors, so we did not get get updates until day 2. E- We were invited for a physical briefing in the store the day before the tour, but nobody was there. F- Instead, briefing took place athe day 1 at 7pm, when some of us are already on the road and cannot respond to the requirements and recommendations mentioned. G- Dinner at day 1 (Ollantaytambo) appears in the activity published, but at the office they said it is not included. We had to show the mail we got in order to have it included. H- Same for poncho. I- Tunupa Lodge in Ollantaytambo is a 2-star hotel, no more. Agenda says we get a 3-star hotel. Office insisted that they renovated it. Maybe. It is still a 2-star hotel, no more. They do not even have heating in the room nor A/C. We were freezing at night. J- Hotel Ferre Machu Picchu - a basic hotel, no water, no hot drinks, nothing. One can read the many warnings about it in Google. We were unlucky to have no hot water after returning from a 12-hour trekking. All group members experienced the same. It was outrageous! TreXperience - stop immediately working with such poor hotels! And largely improve your management.

Everything was absolut Amazing - the nature, our Guide Roger, the Organisation, really good meals and anything Else! An absolut Dream-Tour!

My family of 4 (2 kids at 8yo and 12 yo) joined a 5 nights tour with a family friend of 3 (1 kid at 9yo). TreXperence staff member took very good care of all of us, from picking up at the airport, check us in to hotel, and throughout the entire 5 days tour. We had 2 amazing, knowledgeable, accommodating and caring tour guides, Lene, and KLEVER during our 5 days Cuzco tour. All 7 of us had a great experience throughout the trip. Our tour package was supposed to be a group tour, but due to the relatively large group (7 of us) 4 days out of 5 days we had private tours just by ourselves. I recommend TreXperence to everyone who wants to experience Cuzco tours. the only thing is that you expect to start your tour between 5am - 6am everyday, and the schedules are pretty intense, but you get to see a lot of Peru.

Our tour guides, Lene and Klever, are very knowledgeable and passionate about their city and culture. I was suffering from high attitude sickness and they both took extra care of me and being very patient. Our guide adjusted our hiking distance due to our physical condition at high attitude. I really appreciate their flexibility to ensure we have a good time hiking mostly down the mountain.

Wonderful experience, the landscape is stunning and the historical information from the guides made the sites very special. I would recommend this to anyone.

The most amazing experience made even better with our tour guides, Katia and Jennifer who couldn’t have done enough for us. Special shout out to the porters and chefs who cooked us the most delicious lunch in the jungle. The hike coming in through the sun gate to see Machu Picchu for the first time was incredible and worth the hike. Jennifer’s knowledge while walking through Machu Picchu was incredible and she made our honeymoon extra special. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru.

Visiting Machu Picchu was an unforgettable experience! The information provided was clear, insightful, and perfectly tailored to help us appreciate the history, culture, and engineering marvels of the Inca civilization. Our guide Jennifer was fantastic, she made sure we were safe and on time. She knew so much and made our experience amazing. She highlighted key landmarks, shared fascinating stories, and even offered tips for navigating the site efficiently. It made the journey both educational and magical. Highly recommend for anyone planning to explore this iconic destination!

We spent three days on a private tour in the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail and Machu Picchu (including a hike to Huayna Picchu). The schedule was perfect and the guide Leo was super good. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and made sure that everything worked smoothly. If you have the possibility, try to get him as your tour guide.

We enjoyed our short inca trail to Machu Pichhu very much. We felt very well looked after by our guides Jonny an Pepe. We can ask everything they helped us. Jonny our english speaking guide was funny but although he hast a fused Knowledge about Machu Picchu and gave us much information about this magnificent place and about culture and values. We were really impressed.

Impressive experience in Inca trail and Machu Picchu. Tour guides are knowledgeable, patient, and considerate. Definitely recommend!

Recommended. Very energetic and considerate guide. We had a whole day trip with Mike with our parents. Mike is very considerate.

We went on the short Inca trail tour. It was well organized- basically everything was arranged for us and we didn't need to take care of transportation and stuff by ourselves. Our guide Manolo is so knowledgeable and especially encouraging for me when we were hiking!

The views were amazing throughout the trip, from the Sacred Valley to the short Inca Trail and Machu Picchu! Abelardo led us through the Sacred Valley sites with a lot of information. Miguel and Gilbert were the head of our little hiking family for two days with lots of energy and smiles. Superb experience!

We did the 2-day short Inca Trail with guides Klever and Isabel through Trexperience, which we highly recommend for their excellent organization and communication. The trail ending at Machu Picchu was sublime, enriched by Klever's deep knowledge and passion for the history and spirituality of the area. Our Sacred Valley tour with Katia was equally amazing, providing great insights into the pre-Inca and Inca periods. Katia answered all our questions and kept us well-informed. All our transport/drivers and meals were excellent, and we hope to trek with Trexperience again in the future.

Very well organised and very experienced and friendly guide Johny Thank you so much for everything you have done a great job
