Memorable visits to Sacred valley and Cusco
Nandaja A,,Jan 5, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Had an excellent experience with the private guided tour from TreXperience. Freddy was our guide and made the visit to a sacred valley and sites around Cusco most memorable. He charted out the best sites to visit given the limited time we had - one day tour for sacred valley and half day for Cusco. He explained the historical significance of the areas we visited in a Crisp and interesting manner and was very easy to work with. He kept the pace tailored to what worked with our ten year old daughter as well. Loved the experience - we will highly recommend this company and Freddy as your guide to Mae your visit to Peru more memorable
Marvellous tour with a fabulous guide

5.00Franklin was an amazing, knowledgable, patient, emotionally intelligent tour guide. Perfect combination of information and stepping back to allow tourists to absorb and appreciate the views, sites and information. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that anyone request him BY NAME. We had him for our Cusco City Tour, Sacred Valley and the Machu Picchu mountain hike after viewing Machu Picchu and we wouldn’t have made it without his guidance, support and encouragement. Thank you for EVERYTHING! You went above and beyond far exceeding our expectations!
Great trip

Great city tour with deep insight

5.00On the second day in Peru, we joined the city tour in Cusco—it was both informative and engaging. Our guide Jennifer had a deep knowledge of the city’s history and explained everything clearly. One of us had a little altitude sickness due to our first day, but our guide make sure we are ok and give us enough tips to help us acclimate to the attitude, which later proves very important to our other days in Cusco. Highly recommend this tour to everyone!
Great tour of Inca sites around Cusco.
