Excellent service and value for money - Excellent service from the company and the tour guide. We were picked up from our hotel. A great selection of vegan and vegetarian options at the buffet. Our tour guide provided some helpful information and we were very lucky the weather cleared despite the mist when we first arrived. Great value for money!

Great Adventure Januar 2025 - I decided to take this adventure after being disappointed with Machu Picchu. They picked me up from the hotel early in the morning, around 5 a.m. After driving for about 100 minutes, we reached our first stop, where a simple but acceptable light breakfast was served (fruit and cereal).
After approximately 35 minutes, we continued our trip to Rainbow Mountain. The journey involved mountain roads, so be prepared for some discomfort. It took around 95 minutes to reach our final destination. For families and older individuals, I strongly suggest using the horses available—they can save you about 70% of the effort to get to the top.
Even if you're fit, I recommend taking it slow on the ascent. You'll likely feel exhausted during the final stretch, so save your energy and oxygen for the last part of the hike.
Our tour guide, Waldir C.C., or as he likes to be called, "Super Walli," was kind and helpful, explaining everything in his own way. I highly recommend taking this tour with him.
Another tip: When you reach the top, instead of just taking a photo with the altitude sign, take one with the llama owned by the old man at the highest level. He also has a similar sign, and the photo won't cost you much.
Pros:
Great price-to-value ratio
Unique and memorable experience
Tour guide was honest, professional, and ensured we returned safely to the hotel
No rush during the tour
Cons:
The car's air conditioning didn’t work well
Lunch was not delicious

My guided visit to the 7 Colors Mountain in Cusco - The rain almost spoiled the roulette, but when it arrived, we were already leaving. I would like to record the excellent work of the guide "Heber Forever". Careful professional, helpful, took very good care of people and still had an excellent sense of humor.

Beautiful but too touristy - It is wonderful there but the number of tourists is frightening. I did most of it on horseback, but the last, steepest part remains

Bad driving accommodations but the mountains were amazing! - Going to this mountain in a very cool experience but I would investigate who you go through. This travel group has very small buses and the seating is extremely tight. Also, the bus does not have AC. The tour guide would not open the window for us and we were nauseous in the back seats of the bus. It felt like we were locked in a hot sauna shaking all over the place. People in the front were bothered by the wind so he sided with them and left us miserable in the back. The tour guide was Sexy Alex (he calls himself). Nice man but he certainly didn’t make sure that all of his guests were comfortable. So if you decide to take this tour, ensure that you get a front seat in their buses… otherwise go with a tour group that offers bigger buses with more leg room for the seats. These seats were so tight and awful. The back row of seats do not recline and when the person in front of them reclines back - it’s miserable for that person - you have about 16 inches of space from your face to the back of the person’s seat infront of you. We drove with them for about 6.5 hours that day so your driving accommodations are VERY IMPORTANT.
