Excellent tour! - This was a wonderful tour. Marco the guide and Hidalgo the driver were both very friendly. Marco gave an excellent explanation of everything - but, most importantly, he was very patient and helpful as we adjusted to the elevation gain.

Great experience - The tour was great with wonderful views and history of the mountains and their meaning to the culture. The hike can be hard with the elevation but it is worth the views. Our guide was fantastic and offered a lot of encouragement

WARMLY RECOMMENDED!! Thank you Inca Highlands, hope to return to Peru and meet you once - We did some like a 4 days tour: Pisac/Ollantaytambo/Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu/Maras/Moray/Chinchero/Palccoyo were the main spot we visited.
Perfect organization (gracias Daniela, we “worked together” to this unforgettable experience, she was always taking care of us), very skilled and nice guides who did all to make your dream come true (gracias Emili in Machu Picchu, and the top ever Joel for all the rest, a real artist who also did us a photo shoot😉), and the safety of a great driver (Gustavo 🔝).
I warmly recommend Inca Highlands: get in touch with them, and sure they find how to help you!

DANIELA ES UNA GENIO<3. - I booked my tour to Palccoyo with this company, but the tour operator itself was Arnold Expeditions (excellent everything, enjoyed it a good deal). Still, from the first moment DANIELA contacted me to request my details and coordinate the transfer, she was the kindest, most open and willing person. Even after I had finished my contracted service with them, he was quoting me and helping to coordinate my next days in Peru and even warned me when a Huaico closed the Amazon Route to reach Machu Picchu although he no longer had any obligation to me. That’s the kind of customer service that makes a mark and thanks you all your life.
Thanks for so much love and good vibe, Dani. You're the most! All my love from Mexico!!

Excellent service!!! - We purchased a package that included five different tours along with airport transport. All of these tours were well organized and outstanding. Each day after our tour, Daniela would check on us to make sure everything went well and provide us with information for the next tour. Even when making a last-minute change, she was very accommodating. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!!

Fantastic view in Rainbow mountain - It was a fantastic experience. The tour includes morning pick up, breakfast and lunch. The guide also introduced us the history of rainbow mountain and how it forms on the way back to Cusco.
The rainbow mountain was amazing and the hiking route is not very long - only 3km, so achievable for that altitude.
It was a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone who come to Cusco.

Amazing Experience - Amazing experience and very well organised. Just did the hike today with children of age 5 and 1.5 and it was easier than expected, we were very well taken care by our guide Abrham. The breakfast and lunch were also really good. Thank you Daniela for organising this.

Serious agency, shame about the tour guide - We must start by saying that the agency that organized the tour proved to be very reliable and serious. Unfortunately our problem was the guide who accompanied us during the Rainbow Mountains tour. In addition to doing the bare minimum, he refused to accompany us on the Red Valley tour, saying that it was not planned (this second circuit was additional with a supplement to that of the Rainbow Mountains). Furthermore, he did not provide us with adequate information on how to return to the bus, telling us that the path to follow was identical to the one on the way out in terms of difficulty and clearly visible. We were then left alone and with the few others in the group who decided to continue. However, we took a wrong turn and found ourselves on a very difficult and at times dangerous path.
The agency apologized and refunded us the additional tour fee, since the guide was supposed to come with us.
