Rainbow mountain was brilliant - Brilliant. Stunning mountains. Altitude was a kicker for some. Guides María and Vicky were just wonderful. Maria was so enthusiastic and welcoming and Vicky had a great sense of humor.

Worth it, but you'll need to work for it! - First, some advice for people travelling to Cusco. The altitude is real. I flew in from Lima and suffered terrible altitude sickness. I'd advise that you gradually stop off at other places before you reach Costco. That being said, those of us who had struggled with the altitude were well looked after. The trail can be done part of the way by horse (approx 80 sols). Is it all worth it? YES! The views up to and including Rainbow Mountain are spectacular. It's well worth it

Rainbow mountain hike - It was a very unique experience. The kind you only do once in a lifetime. We went with yaki and Flor. They did a great job explaining what to expect and were prepared when we all got slight headaches and nausea. It was a great price that included the travel, the hike, along with breakfast and lunch We also did the optional hike to red valley and that was my favorite part of the day I highly recommend this group for your hike

Amazing and a forever memory. - Rainbow Mountain Travels gave me and my husband a memorable one in a lifetime experience. My husband had visited Rainbow with a group prior to our trip and he had an amazing experience that far exceeded his last. Our guide and driver were beyond accommodating the entire time. Our guide Yaki was super knowledgeable and hiking with her was like hiking with a good friend. Our driver Jose was amazing, he made every type of terrain we encountered seem like nothing, and we felt like we were in excellent hands the whole time. I can't say enough amazing things about our guide and driver.

Great day - Great company, well organised. Very friendly staff. Love that we were there before the crowds. Only thing to add would be a bit more time at rainbow mountain and red valley, it was a little rushed because we like to take photos. Augustine and David were great!

Breathtaking views, disappointing driver and guide (on the way back only!) - The scenery of both the Rainbow Mountain and the Red Valley is truly spectacular. Our guide was Davíd, he was very, very helpful to get us up to the top. However, on the way down he left us alone, clearly because we had taken a little longer than the average due to our respective ages (70 and 58), despite giving us a lot of compliments for our achievement, given the altitude, which was a novelty given that we live close to sea level. On the way back both the driver and the guide ignored our repeated requests to keep the windows closed and use air conditioning instead given the level of dust and fumes. The driver drove much faster on the way back. The road was bumpy anyway, but he appeared to be entirely oblivious to our presence in the back. You need motion sickness tablets/patches for this trip. Although this was promoted as a 12-hour tour, and we were back within 11,5 hours, they appeared to be over eager to get back ASAP. They were chatting very loudly while having the radio on at a high volume. Given their lack of interest in listening to our requests about the open windows, we gave up trying to engage with them.
