Absolutely the best tours in Cusco - Kenko Adventures was a fundamental part of our recent trip to Peru. Our guide Elvis personally briefed us on day one, and over the course of five straight days of tours, we visited some incredible sites, including the Rainbow Mountain and the challenging but rewarding two day Inca Trail trek. Honestly it feels like Elvis was born to be a guide, he not only took care of all the logistics of our tours and our needs during them, he also shared with us his massive knowledge of Incan history, plus info about the local culture and nature. He is an amazing photographer too! Our driver was David, and he skill behind the wheel was equally important. He kept us safe and comfortable on every drive, even on the crazy mountain roads. No matter how early the start or how long the day, Elvis and David maintained their energy, professionalism and genuine care for our tours. This trip wouldn't have been the same without Kenko Adventures!

Private Rainbow Mountain tour - Few days ago we went to see Rainbow Mountain, and we hired wonderful guy, Elvis from Kenko company. It was a private group with 5 people which I enjoyed a lot because he took care of us very well. He was very smart and we learned a lot from him. I forgot my jacket which was in his backpack and he brought it back to my hotel the next day, which was very nice of him. I highly recommend Elvis for your next trip, you will not be disappointed.

Use Kenko tours. Excellent planning and guide. - Elvis was our guide and we were glad we choose Kenko. First, he met us the night before to give us a briefing about what to expect and what we needed to bring . Glad he did. We didn’t have hats and had not thought about bringing gloves and hats. We went out to buy some that evening and was glad we had them as the wind picks up at the top. Elvis has good English and Knowledge. The hike goes up to 15,000 ft elevation. He took care us all the way making sure we stopped when we looked like we needed a break, asking us how we were feeling to check if we felt light headed or had a headache . Although we didn’t use the options did give the choice of renting a horse. Elvis took good care of us and our safety very serious and also had oxygen of we needed it. It was long and difficult day. We are very glad we climbed Rainbow Mountain and went with Kenko tours. If we were staying longer I would have booked him for other tours.

Mesmerizing - Elvis Roque our guide made the hike so much more memorable and easier. He encouraged us all way to the top and helped carry my husband’s backpack.
