Excellent - We selected a private tour of 2 days in machu picchu, a day in humantay lake, a day in rainbow mountain and a 2 days trip in lake titicaca. The team was really helpful and organised. We had a really good time! Highly recommended 🩷

Private Rainbow Mountain tour - Few days ago we went to see Rainbow Mountain, and we hired wonderful guy, Elvis from Kenko company. It was a private group with 5 people which I enjoyed a lot because he took care of us very well. He was very smart and we learned a lot from him. I forgot my jacket which was in his backpack and he brought it back to my hotel the next day, which was very nice of him. I highly recommend Elvis for your next trip, you will not be disappointed.

Use Kenko tours. Excellent planning and guide. - Elvis was our guide and we were glad we choose Kenko. First, he met us the night before to give us a briefing about what to expect and what we needed to bring . Glad he did. We didn’t have hats and had not thought about bringing gloves and hats. We went out to buy some that evening and was glad we had them as the wind picks up at the top. Elvis has good English and Knowledge. The hike goes up to 15,000 ft elevation. He took care us all the way making sure we stopped when we looked like we needed a break, asking us how we were feeling to check if we felt light headed or had a headache . Although we didn’t use the options did give the choice of renting a horse. Elvis took good care of us and our safety very serious and also had oxygen of we needed it. It was long and difficult day. We are very glad we climbed Rainbow Mountain and went with Kenko tours. If we were staying longer I would have booked him for other tours.

Mesmerizing - Elvis Roque our guide made the hike so much more memorable and easier. He encouraged us all way to the top and helped carry my husband’s backpack.

Rainbow Mountain - Beautiful! - We booked Rainbow Mountain with Kenko and did this after our 2 day Inca Trail Hike. Our guide for this tour was Grober. Kenko is a locally owned company and for this tour it was just the 2 of us. You are at a very high altitude, so we decided to take the horses most of the route. This was a big help, because even hiking the short way at the end was difficult because you are at 5,000 meters or 16,000 ft. Grober was a great guide, he gave us information and history of the Rainbow Mountain. This is a relatively new site, discovered in 2015.

Amazing experience! Brilliant and helpful guide! - Elvis was an amazing guide. He shared the history of rainbow mountain and the culture of Peru. He made sure everyone was comfortable with the high altitude and provided support where he saw it was needed. Absolutely breathe taking views and we enjoyed riding the horses provided by villagers. Elvis is also a skilled photographer!

A tough and rewarding hike - After hearing much hype about Rainbow mountain, I decided to hike this the following day after climbing Machu Picchu mountain. The air is thin and the wind can pick up anytime so dress in layers and drink coca tea before arriving here. The hike itself is moderate but because of the high elevation, it may require frequent stops to recharge and carry on. My tour guide gave me an option to do Red mountain if I could make it back on time so I did. I felt Red Mountain (which adds about 40 minutes to the trip total) was more beautiful and much less crowded. Be prepared to pay 10 soles at the entrance and 10 at the top but it is totally worth the price and effort. I felt the tour was nicely organized and punctual. I highly recommend this company again for tours around cusco.

Highly Recommend!!! - Rainbow mountain was so beyond beautiful! We added this tour last minute and did it on our first official day in Cusco! (Not the smartest idea since elevation is super high especially coming from sea level! Even higher than Cusco!) We met up with Elvis (one of the guides from Kenko) the night we arrived in Cusco. Having so much experience with tourists in the area, he recommended, since we were coming from California and not acclimatized to the elevation, to use horses at Rainbow mountain and that was the best decision! Instead of being passed out on the side of the mountain like so many people, we were able to experience and enjoy Rainbow mountain! Our guide Franklin even had an extra oxygen tank in case we needed it. Not only is everything planned so smoothly by their team, the guides and drivers are the sweetest people on the planet. Franklin was so funny and made us laugh constantly and he so knowledgeable about the mountain. The whole time you could sense how excited they were to share their beautiful country with us which often isn't seen being an American tourist in other countries. I would highly recommended this tour company for anyone looking for private services that exceed expectations at every level. Oh and best part is, the guides are the best photographers so you will for sure go home with some amazing memories!
