Amazing Rainbow Mountain Experience - The tour is amazing. Most people are gone by that time so we had all the amazing views for us. Our guide Nayea was extremely nice and patient with us. It is a once in a life adventure.

Rainbow Mountain ⛰️ 🌈 - Had a wonderful day taking this tour. Nayda was a wonderful guide. The information she gave our group was helpful and informative. Nayda was extremely friendly and I highly recommend doing a group tour in English with her. Thankyou 🙏😁

Must do the 8am tour to Rainbow Mountain - Nayda was our tour guide for the later 8am Rainbow Mountain tour. 1. Do this later tour versus waking up at 330am. It will be packed if you do the early tour. 2. Nayda was a pleasure and incredibly knowledgeable. 3. The mountain was not packed when we got there due to it being the later tour.

A Challenging but Rewarding Rainbow Mountain Adventure - Our day trip from Cusco to Rainbow Mountain was an unforgettable experience. The 3-hour drive to the start of the trail was a bit bumpy, as the roads in Peru can be challenging, but that’s just part of the adventure! After the drive, we began a hike of about 1.5 hours up to the summit, with another hour back down. The altitude made breathing harder, but the colorful mountain scenery along the way was truly worth it. The agency was well-prepared, providing us with snacks, coca tea, and other essentials to help with altitude sickness. For those needing a break, locals offer horse rides for a less strenuous journey. The last 200 meters were steep, but reaching the summit was absolutely breathtaking—a true once-in-a-lifetime view. Our guide, Efrain, was wonderful and made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone visiting Peru!

Rainbow mountain - Elisban was great, we took a tour to rainbow mountain with our 7 and 10 years old. We enjoyed the day so much, it can be hard on the kids so we took horses going up and down for 100 soles each, it was worth it! Thank you so much to Elis he even offered to help carrying on the last part of the hike where horses don't go further. It was a beautiful day!! After rainbow mountain we had diner provided by staff and it was delicious! We had good time!!! We would highly recommend Peru Private Tour and Elis as guide.

Amazing experience ! - We had such a great time going to Rainbow Mountain with our family. The hike was indeed a hard one due to the altitude, but we are so proud to say that we did it, and it's off our bucket list.. I honestly can't thank enough our driver and our guide, Elis, for their help. Thank you so much for an amazing time! We are definitely going to recommend Peru private tour to everyone we know! 🙂

1st class tour - I was nervous taking this tour alone and being relatively unfit but John, the guide put my mind at rest. The 8am pick up was a bonus. The journey to rainbow mountain is long around 3 hours and the final hour is a bumpy one but the driver navigated the roads well. The group (5) were given water, snacks and coca tea and we stopped on route to take photos with alpacas! The trek itself was tough but not as hard as others had led me to believe.. if I can do it (50, fat & unfit) anyone can! John was on hand to make sure I was doing ok and was very caring and knowledgeable. We had lunch around 3pm and was back in Cusco by 6 I highly recommend this trip and John!

Superb service and experience - Excellent service are very punctual and their attention during the transfer and tour is 10. Elisbal and Hilario made the trip great; getting to the mountain and touring it was a magnificent experience. We were very well in the restaurant included in the reservation and as an extra point I forgot my phone in the van Hilario answered me to return immediately 100% recommended experience

Highly recommend - Naydar (apologies if wrong spelling) was our guide and she was terrific! She was very insightful and energetic which we really appreciated. We really enjoyed the experience and the walk up the mountain was well worth it for the views.
