Very good tour - Dido is very helpful. This is not an easy journey, especially with rain , but attractive. Food is good enough at this price. A very good choice.

Difficult but worth it - Okay… this was definitely worth it, despite almost dying half way haha! Make sure you prepare yourself before coming because it is not a normal uphill walk. Also, come early so you don’t get the bad weather

Great value tour with the best guides - Amazing day trip to rainbow mountain and red valley! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and worth it even with the strenuous hike since you gain a fair bit of altitude. Our guide Wilfredo and driver Willie were the best. Wilfredo made sure everyone was looked after, including those who got a bit sick or lost. Recommend them both!!

Good experience, a bit rush of coming back - It was a good experience just a couple of things, the 1st was the price of the 80 soles for the horse trip to get to the mountain and 40 back, previously we saw it was 100 the whole trip and secondly Tito the guide lacked a bit of presence I saw other guides helping more

busy peak, great views - We booked our trip to Vinicunca via Machu Picchu Team and were redirected by them to Chullos Travel Peru. We were happy with the experience. Our guide Wilfredo guided us in a very focussed manner to the best fotospots along the hike and shared few information (the right amount for us) on the formation and geology of the mountain range. The hike can be done very quick. We got the opportunity to do a detour via Red Valley which was a nice add on for us. It was very busy at the peak and one can get lost easily. Our guide was very good in keeping an overview and making sure nobody gets lost. 30 + 30 S/ entrance fees for Vinicunca and Red Valley is quite a bit, however the paths were in a good condition and there was enough infrastructure along the way. Our driver Will as well as the restaurant along the way, where we got breakfast and lunch-buffet did a very good job as well. Overall, the tour is best for all who want to see colourful mountains and take pictures there.

Didn't show up, very poor - The experience never happened. They never showed up. No communication. I was stood on the street corner at 4am waiting, like some prostitute. I waiting 1 hour, ended up going back to bed. It was my last day in Cusco, very upsetting that I missed out on seeing the rainbow mountain due to the poor organisation of this tour company. Avoid them! Go with another, there is plenty to choose from.
