- Paradise8161290 contributionsThe most genuine experience in Peru.......was the textile workshop!!! We had the opportunity to get to know the amazing womanhood from the Patabamba community! Beautiful women with so much knowledge! We had a full day with them sharing fresh fruites, dying alpaca thread with natural colours we made, had the luck to have an unforgetable lunch with them, learned to weave a traditional pattern and even got to dance all togeather! We will hold this day to our hearts!! 💙💙Written January 31, 2025

- mariocP9817HS0 contributionsFantastic trip to Rainbow MountainWe took the Rainbow Mountain tour and we were not disappointed Ronald our tour guide picked us up a half hour earlier to make sure we reached the top before the bad weather set in and it was truly spectacular. The clouds and snow came in just as we were about to leave. Ronald made sure we were doing good during the whole time. I have a knee problem so it was great to never have felt rushed. Our driver Hilario was great navigating the narrow winding roads. Highly recommend this tour.👍❤️Written January 17, 2025

- rachaeltZ2647RR0 contributionsA great workshop!This was a really interesting workshop! Nadya was a great guide and translator—friendly, engaged, and very knowledgeable about the weaving process. It was interesting to hear Quechua and learn about the traditional communities in the area. I really enjoyed seeing how the dyes are made and watching the entire process unfold. It was also a lot of fun creating my own little bookmark! The workshop gave me a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and technical skill behind the handmade pieces you see around Peru. I recommend this experience!Written January 16, 2025
- 140parist0 contributionsFelt like a personal experience!Nayda was an absolutely awesome host! Going later in the day is the best hack ever, if you’re unsure - do it! We had the whole mountain to ourselves and Nayda was patient when I struggled with the altitude towards the top and helped us out! Also made it very fun and iterating on the way down despite the weather. One of our best experiences in Peru, the restaurant for lunch also amazing and friendly funny waiters with beautiful countryside views!Written January 9, 2025
- vicerd0 contributionsFantastic views! And great experience. Also nice to not wake up at 3am for this!:)Fantastic experience with Naida our guide. Was a good pace to get up a mountain and stunning views both at the rainbow mountain and the red valley!Written January 7, 2025

- adammoseley40 contributionsExcellent Experience!The tour was amazing. Leaving at 8am allowed for smaller crowd once we got to the top to overlook Rainbow Mountain. Additionally, the tour company kept the group small (10 guests total) allowing more interaction with the guide and fellow guests. Nayda (my guide) was very knowledgeable and patient with all activity strength levels.Written December 25, 2024

Amazing and patient tour guide. The guide provided us with items to help with the altitude. During this time of day the mountains were empty of people providing a truly spectacular sight. The provide meal was of high quality at a nice restaurant, along with the provided snacks. The transportation was professional and on time.

Elisban was an amazing tour guide he was so knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. The drive was smooth and felt shorter than it actually was and the restaurant had an amazing atmosphere and delicious food. Elisban even stopped to grab us some fresh bread from a local vendor on our journey to the mountain. Truly was an amazing experience and would absolutely do it again.

We did the 8am departing tour to the mountain. The tour was amazing, almost all the others left from the mountain when we arrived and we got to enjoy the peak without too many people. Ronald was sooo good tour guide, very friendly and was very good at giving information about many different things. Definitely can recommend him as a tour guide and if I’ll come back to Cusco, will try to do more tours with him. Mr driver, Marco was such an amazing driver. The road up there was pretty intence but his driving felt so safe during the tour.

Dear Eetuartt,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! I’m thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience on our 8:00 am Luxury Rainbow Mountain Tour.
Arriving after the early crowds have left really does allow for a more peaceful and intimate experience at the peak, and I’m glad you were able to enjoy it to the fullest. Ronald will be delighted to hear your kind words; he takes great pride in sharing his knowledge and ensuring our guests have an unforgettable time. I’m sure he would be honored to guide you on more tours if you return to Cusco.
Marco is indeed an exceptional driver, and I’m pleased to hear that his skills made you feel safe on the intense road to Rainbow Mountain. We’re grateful for your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future!

My family and I loved this tour. The guide, Nayda, was really interesting and helpful. She made the ride over fun, and was really great about making sure my parents (70 and 71) got to the top safely!
Our driver, Ilario, was also fantastic. I was impressed with how adeptly he got us up and down so many windy unpaved roads

Hector was accommodating and thoughtful, from helping with altitude sickness, helping me learn more Spanish, and playing beautiful traditional music. The local restaurant had good vegetarian food and a great view. Loved the sights, and very appreciative of the many photos he took for us! It was also really nice to experience Rainbow Mountain without the crowds.

8:00 AM departure was the best choice ever.
We've been lucky with the weather (crystal clear sky, low wind, warm day) but the best part is the absence of crowds. Most of the tourists were descending while we were going up. On the top, few people, easy pictures, and breathtaking views (well, these anyway).
Small group (4 pp), a caring and gentle guide, oxygen available (really, no need but just in case).
Permanence on top is limited to 20-25 minutes which should be extended.
Lunch is included in a spotless clean restaurant on the way back.
Highly recommended.

The tour was awesome and well organised!!! Although we got hail and fog when we arrived at the top, our guide Ronald was very knowledgeable and suggested we wait a little longer - and it was right, the weather cleared and we could see the mountain!! Ronald looked after everyone so well and made sure everyone was ok with the altitude. Props too to Mr Juan our driver, who navigated the windy roads with ease!!

This was the perfect time to go to Rainbow Mountain! We got to leave at a reasonable time and when we got up to the top, there were only a few people left and it was a warmer time of day. Oliver was a fantastic driver, getting us through some difficult roads and Nayda was very knowledgeable, kind and professional. I highly recommend this tour.

We chose this tour as the start time was rather more civilised than all the other options. The communication from the compnay was really good making sure we knew what to expect on the day. We were collected on time and set off on the journey during which our guide would regularly give us interesting information about our surroundings and Peru in general which helped to break it up. Unfortunately once we arrived the weather was taking a turn for the worse. We started to hike up but there was a thunderstorm immediately overhead. Our guide kept us safe, once she confirmed with the rangers at the top that it wasn't safe to continue we turned back around. We still enjoyed our day out with a nice lunch on the way back.

Dear Bucks,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're pleased to hear that you appreciated our tour's more civilised starting time and our efforts to communicate effectively with our guests.
The Andean weather can indeed be quite unpredictable, and it sounds like you encountered some challenging conditions. It's crucial to prioritize safety, and we're glad to hear that our guide made the responsible decision to turn back when the thunderstorm posed a danger. Safety always comes first.
We're delighted that despite the weather's unpredictability, you still managed to enjoy your day out with us. The delicious lunch on the way back must have been a welcomed comfort.
Your understanding and feedback are greatly appreciated. We hope that you'll consider joining us for another adventure when the weather is more cooperative. Peru has many wonders to explore, and we'd love to show you more of its beauty.
