Great - Our guide Sara was great and the driver and porters/ chef did an amazing job. The food was fantastic, better than many restaurants we ate at. Our guide Sara was kind, helpful, and a pleasure. We enjoyed our experience.

Katie with Trexperience - Rainbow Mountain was amazing. Beautiful drive up, breakfast and lunch picnic. Katie is such a wonderful guide and makes you fall in love with every site you visit. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her country. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to have an amazing experience here. I will definitely be requesting her for my future trips. Katie is part of my family now.

Rainbow Mountain Day Trip with Picnic - TreXperience is a pioneer when it comes to premium hiking trips across Peru. Nothing is short in this Rainbow Mountain and Red valley one day Premium tour with Picnic. Arrangements for picnic breakfast and lunch were so lavish and personalised based on your needs. Service is awesome and the team is always ready to help and support you for any need. Breakfast was continental along with local delicacies and lunch was a 3 course meal. Jose Abad is a very experienced trekking and hiking guide with so much knowledge about the mountains and Amazon rain forest of Peru. Also the team having driver and cooks were great in the food preparations and presentation. I recommend taking services of TreXperience for your next trip to Peru for Hiking trips.

1st class Rainbow Mountain experience! - After finishing the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu, we decided to do Rainbow Mountain. We decided to go with TreXperience for that tour, and just like everything else we had done with them…it was first class. Our guide, Roger, was amazing. They did an huge breakfast spread before our trek and an amazing lunch afterwards. So many other operators just take you up to the mountain, give you a box lunch and then drive you back. We had freshly cooked meals that were warm and delicious. I’m seriously so impressed with TreXperience. It is first class. I was never disappointed, and always pleasantly surprised! I highly recommend using this company while in Peru.

TreXperience is top notch! - What an amazing adventure! Leo was my tour guide. He coordinated my pick up time and was highly conversational. Our trek to the top went at my pace- and whereas I could go faster, we got to the top faster, had lots of time for pictures and got to see extras as we went to Red Valley. He took lots of pictures of me and knew the best places to get them. Our chefs, Esteban and Juan Luis did a fantastic job at getting food ready quickly upon arrival for breakfast and lunch. The presentation and quality of the food was exceptional. They worked expeditiously when the weather took an adverse turn, and cleaned up rapidly to get us on the road safely. Our driver, Juan, was safe and made good use of our time on the road, navigating on back roads to get us through traffic quicker and got me home earlier than expected- which was highly appreciated as our time has been jam packed with many early mornings and late evenings while visiting Cusco.

A natural wonder unlike any other - What an incredible day trip. I was very tired having just completed the Inca trail the day before but my guide (Juan de Dias) was so considerate and patient and got me to the top! Our driver (Jacob) was great and our Chef (Erinio) provided a delicious breakfast and lunch. A very friendly team and being the only person on the tour that day, I felt very spoiled. Breathtaking views and would highly recommend.

Disappointing Hike Experience Due to Poor Planning - I hiked Rainbow Mountain with Trexperience. Unfortunately, it was completely covered in snow so we couldn't see anything and hiking to Red Valley was impossible the meals were also cold and not enjoyable. our guide said it wasn't possible to get a refund due to the weather conditions and claimed it was not their fault. however I question why the company confirmed the hike given those conditions they should have canceled the hike and refunded us without hesitation. I was completely disappointed with this experience.
