I can't express how incredibly grateful I am to TreXperience for an espetacular (one in a lifetime) experience. From the beginning each staff member I spoke with was responsive and helpful, starting with them combining 2 tours in 1 as an alternative to the Classic Inca Trail (which is currently close). The staff is highly professional, trustworthy and accommodating. I felt like all the staff genuinely cared, I was safe and comfortable at all times (even while camping). It was actually very luxurious from the incredible guide to the talented chef that created a feast at every meal (it was actually some of the best food I had while in Perù) and the friendly/helpful assistant. I would highly recommend TreXperience to anyone who wants to visit Perú. The quality of service, care and details are worth every cent (especially for a multiple-day adventure). It was beyond my expectations, truly perfection, mil gracias a todos!

My husband and I booked a private tour for 7 days/6 nights in the Manu Biosphere with a particular emphasis on birding. Our adventure started on Feb. 27th. While we knew this would be during the rainy season, we also knew it would be our only chance. We were not disappointed. Far from it. We had an incredible trip. Starting with the advice and support we got pre-trip from Percy, to the expert knowledge and skill of our guide Simon, to the amazing food prepared by Eloy, and including the skill of our drivers (van and boat). We never once questioned our safety despite several iffy road situations and a river swollen from recent rains. Two weeks prior to our trip serious landslides closed numerous roads in the region. During our trip we had the unusual experience of observing an ocelot walk several hundred meters along the river bank. We observed at least nine different primates and identified 211 different bird species (Simon saw at least 50 others that we didn't). The giant otters were out playing the morning we spent on Salvador Oxbow Lake. We spotted a south american coati on the river shore. Waking up to the roar of howler monkeys is hard to describe. Overall an incredible adventure. The three lodges we stayed in were all decent with mosquito netting, electricity, real toilets, and one even had Wi-Fi (Paraiso, El Dorado, Casa Matsiguenka). The food, prepared by Eloy, was outstanding, fresh, full of vegetables, and we teased him about making enough for three times more people than we had. No one will go hungry with Eloy cooking. Breakfast, snack, lunch, appetizer, and dinner every day. Sometimes a table and chairs would be popped up for a lunch beside the road, sometimes we ate in the boat, but most of the time we ate in the lodge dining room with Simon. Simon was absolutely amazing at finding birds and other animals in the jungle that we never would have seen otherwise. Percy, the boat driver, came on several birding expeditions and had a very keen eye. We enjoyed talking with Simon during the trip about his experiences. He grew up in the Manu region and is clearly passionate about the jungle and all its gems (birds, mammals, insects, reptiles, plants, and people). He has led multiple expeditions for researchers and explorers. We speak very little Spanish but Simon is proficient in English. As far as it being the rainy season, I believe we got lucky. It didn't rain that much and when it did it was usually at night. There were only a couple hikes we did where I needed to put on mosquito repellent. Sun burn was way more of an issue for us. Several reviews have commented on the road and the length of time is takes to get to the jungle. For us, every minute on the bus and in the boat was worth it. We won't forget this experience and the people who made us feel like royalty as we got the briefest glimpse of this amazing natural area. I hope Peru's government can continue to protect this unique natural resource. Thank you Percy, Simon, Eloy, and the rest of Amazon Trip Peru's staff for sharing your gifts with us.

I made a serious error when booking this tour. I had my days mixed up and was not able to do my full day tour as I arrived in cusco at noon. Happy Gringro could have just kept my payment and not honored my trip as it was my error in booking. They actually called me and made arrangements to Make a modified personal tour for me and my wife later the same day. That is customer service at its best. I had the error they had no obligation to help and they did. I strongly recommend this group. Marco was very knowledgeable .

Due to a cancellation I was alone in the cooking lesson, and it was the best: private class! Ricardo was the best, I had so much fun with him. He is such a good laugh and really makes you feel at home and teaches you how to cook the traditional but modern dishes. Obviously, the food was amazing as well, especially the pisco sour! Again, thank you Ricardo, was one of my favorite things to do in Cusco :)
