Two Incredible Tours! - Finding trustworthy tour companies in Peru can feel overwhelming, but taking a chance on World Explorer Peru was one of the best decisions of our trip. They coordinated two of our most memorable tours, a private Sacred Valley tour and an ATV ride through Red Valley with the trek to Rainbow Mountain. We had the incredible luck of having Rudy as our guide both days. Rudy is funny, kind, and just an all around wonderful human. We loved him so much after day one that we begged to have him back for day two and Adolfo made it happen for us, which we are so grateful for. The Sacred Valley tour was beautifully paced and so rich in history and culture. Rudy had us laughing the whole time, including a running inside joke about a frog he spotted on top of the mountain that we were convinced he was making up. The included lunch was delicious and the whole day felt effortless. The ATV adventure through Red Valley was a completely different kind of thrill. I wasn’t comfortable riding on my own, and without hesitation Rudy let me ride as his passenger, never once making me feel like a burden. The entire time he kept a watchful eye on everyone in our group, always checking back to make sure we were safe. The trek to Rainbow Mountain was genuinely challenging at that elevation, but Rudy was endlessly patient with our breaks and our pace. When we finally reached the top, he quietly went and stood in the long line so we could catch our breath just so we could get that iconic photo. Those little details are why we insisted on having Rudy as our guide for two days. We left feeling like we’d made a lifelong friend rather than just hired a tour guide. World Explorer Peru’s communication was seamless and every detail was taken care of. If you’re heading to Peru, book with them. You will not regret it.

Red valley and rainbow mountain tour - Brilliant tour with Adolfo, everything was brilliant and straightforward from start to finish. Everything organised to the smallest detail and answered any questions or queries we had. Great fun to be on and got the best out of the group. Would fully recommend

The experience and the guide's support throughout the tour are highly recommended. - An excellent experience. In addition to saving time and energy to reach the Rainbow Mountain thanks to the ATV tour, our guide José was always very attentive to us. The hike from the viewpoint of the Red Valley to the mountain can be intense for those who are not accustomed to the altitude and lack of oxygen, making the journey more tiring than usual. However, upon reaching the summit, the view makes all the effort completely worthwhile. As a recommendation, if possible, bring an oxygen bottle for both the ascent and descent, as the return may seem smoother, but it can also be exhausting.

Most rewarding experience ever with Jose - Jose was the best guide ever! I booked the tour for my friend and I even though we were staying in separate accommodations. Jose was accommodating to pick us up in separate locations! The tour group was a total of only 9 people. Jose provided instructions in both Spanish and English so the whole group could understand and answered any concerns I had. He specifically explained that you need 30 soles in cash as an entrance fee for Rainbow mtn and Red Valley. The ATVing was around 1 hr 40 mins and included many photos and videos. The guide let you practice ATVing for 10 minutes before going up Red Valley. After Red Valley, we hiked about 40 minutes to get to the top of Rainbow Mountain. The hike was personally difficult for me since it was steep at some points and the altitude level was so high but Jose was encouraging the whole way, cheering me on every step!! The view at the end was worth the long journey. There’s an option to take a horse either one way (80 soles) or both ways (120 soles) if you know you might struggle to hike (I recommend). I highly recommend this tour with Jose. He is one of the most personable and kindest people I know! Thank you Jose!! 🦙🦙

Great trip with José - Overall great experience. Our guide, José, was fun and energetic. He made the experience so enjoyable and kept us all in good spirits even when the hike was hard. The drive was also broken up perfectly with breakfast and lunch 1/2 through on the way there and back. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to see rainbow mountain without the full hike.

Great trip - Great experience José was the guide and he went over and beyond for my group. He was prepared for every situation and even stayed with a member of our party not leaving them behind. He also took photos and videos which was great! The lunch and breakfast was included and that was delicious as well! Thank you.

Fun and challenging - The tour is very well organized. Quinceno and Humberto are very knowledgeable, fun and patient. High altitude is no joke. I’m so glad we had gone with ATVs. Riding these was super fun

Beyond Expectations - A truly extraordinary experience! The tour was perfectly organized and gave us incredible views throughout the entire journey. It was without a doubt the highlight of our trip to Peru, appreciated by the group even more than Machu Picchu. A destination you have to reach, an intense and unforgettable adventure that we will carry with us forever. A special thanks to our guide Jose: always attentive and helpful, he managed the group with great care, assisting anyone in difficulty and maintaining a great atmosphere throughout. His advice and the photos he took for us were a real added value. "Grupo de Jose - Rapido y Furioso"
