    My adventure to the Rainbow Mountain in Vinicunca was incredible. Our guide, Ever, was excellent; his energy and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. I loved that the van was very clean and that the information about our arrival and departure times was always clear. We were provided with blankets for the journey from Cusco to Vinicunca, which was a very thoughtful touch. Both breakfast and lunch were very good, with a clean and well-organized environment. The mountain was spectacular, and we were lucky to have excellent weather. An unforgettable experience!

    Great experience. The view was fantastic and the tour guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and friendly! It's awesome that we can skip lines for the bus and the entrance.

    Our trip to Machu Picchu was excellent. The tour at the citadel was informative. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. The buses, trains etc all ran smoothly and we had enough time to eat and walk around in Augas Calientes without feeling like we were putting in time. This was a great day trip from Cusco without the hassle of finding another place to stay etc.

    Long but very full day out in the sacred valley. We visited four archeological sites, the salt mines and learnt about spinning / weaving alpaca wool.
    Christian is a great guide, allowing us plenty of time at each stop and providing loads of local knowledge. Recommended, but expect to be tired at the end.

    A fast paced and well organised full day of activities with a fantastic guide. Jhonnatan was incredible at balancing both Spanish and English to provide a very engaging and informative tour through the main sights of the sacred valley. Lunch was very delicious too! Would thoroughly recommend for a full day out. Do remember to have some breakfast / bring snacks and extra cash for empanadas etc. in the morning! It’s an early start so you might get a little hungry before lunch.

    Great way to see the sights. The quads are in great condition, the instructor spoke good English, the route/drive was beautiful, and the day was just good fun. I would recommend it.

    This tour started out bumpy we had to reschedule for the following day because the driver did not pick up us the day of our tour. We were given and place and time but they never showed. Many of these tours change the time and meeting place several times and if you don’t have mobile WiFi, you won’t get the message. Travel Advisor should indicate that mobile WiFi is a requirement for all tours, otherwise, you will get irritated very quick.
    Now for the good stuff. The tour was great and so was our guide! Prepare yourself for a serious elevation shift as you are going up another 3000’ if you are coming from Cusco. As long as you pace yourself and take breaks, you will be fine. I’m in decent shape but I’m 56 and definitely needed the ATV. I found food in Peru to be mostly medicinally, but this tour fed you breakfast and late lunch and it was some of the best food we had!
    Highly recommend!

    Such a good time! I can't remember our tour guide's name, but he was great. He made sure we had some great photos taken of us, and the ATV ride was a lot of fun. The salt mines were stunning, and I'd highly recommend trying the peruvian strawberry beer that's sold at the small market right next to them.

    I did a solo trip and the guides were super helpful through the whole process. José even helped me get a healing oil in Cusco while he was working as well. Jose also took pictures for me and made sure the whole group was safe in the high altitude and the snow/rain conditions

    Very well organised trek. Angel the guide was very informative and always positive throughout the trip.
    The red valley is optional after reaching the rainbow mountain, but definitely worth the 30sol entrance fee to visit
