Excellent trip around Peru - We had heard about Into Peru from friends who had travelled with them and said great things. We found the same, they were marvellous! I’m glad they did tell us as trying to organize all the details was proving to be very complex - who knew it’s so complicated getting to Machu Picchu?! We toured as much of Peru as we could fit into 8 days as part of a tour of South America. Our favorite places were Machu Picchu (what an adventure!) and Rainbow Mountain. We did private tours and felt very well looked after and well informed the whole time. Thank you to all of our guides and drivers and everyone who helped organize such a memorable trip! Muchísimas gracias a todos.

A fantastic trip! - We waited since Covid to go to Peru and we it was so worth it! We chose Into Peru to plan our whole 10 day trip as they had great attention to detail and were very personable. We started in Lima, went to Cusco, Rainbow Mountain and the jungle in Puerto Maldonado. It was all marvellous and the country and people are so varied and full of culture. We were looked after well and everything was planned perfectly. They even helped with some amazing restaurant recommendations. The food is INCREDIBLE! Thanks to all the Into Peru team, you were amazing!

Hassle free and much less tiring than Vinicunca rainbow mountain. - So glad we did this tour, we didn’t fancy the arduous trek we’ve heard about for the Vinicunca rainbow mountain. This tour drops you off at the base of the beautiful palccoyo rainbow mountains and you can walk at your own pace. It’s still a bit tiring due to the altitude but it certainly wasn’t too hard. We were glad we chose Into Peru as they were organised and punctual and the service was faultless. They picked us up at 7am to let us get some sleep which was much appreciated after a lot walking on this trip already! Very highly recommended!

Rainbow mountain is beautiful and great service - Very memorable trip! Started early with a long drive but caught up on some sleep. The guide was great. Palccoyo is beautiful and incredibly quiet. Very impressed with the service and enjoyed the buffet lunch! 100% recommended, especially going private.

A sight to behold - An excellent day trip which ran like clockwork. We had a spare day in Cusco and booked a last minute trip to the rainbow mountains. Into peru has good reviews and we saw why. Our private car was waiting for us outside our hotel and our guide and driver were great. The rainbow mountains are a special sight to behold. It is at a real altitude and took some pauses to get round but we made it and were so glad we did. Thank you for a great visit.

you MUST join this tour! - If you do not have time or finding challenging to hike Rainbow Mountain, you can try Palccoyo. And if you have decided to try Palccoyo, you MUST JOIN this tour! I did this with my hubby. We have a super friendly, caring, helpful, informative and patience guide, AMERICO! He has been so thoughtful throughout the trip. He kept reminding me to walk slowly, and take rest to avoid altitude sickness. At the last part of the hike after rainbow mountain, I wanted to give it a try to the "Stone Mountain" next to it. Honestly, for seasoned hikers or any casual hikers, it is nothing but I have fear of heights. My guide was so patience, holding my hand, guiding me every single step up and down. He is really amazing! The whole tour experience was amazing including the drive journey and lunch! I will give 101% score!

Incredible - Normally I wait until I’m home to write a review, but I didn’t feel this on could wait. First, I organized this with a woman named Patricia who was fantastic. She was thoughtful, helpful and extremely responsive. The day before our day trip I heard from Alex. He is the reason I am writing this only a few hours after my trip ended. Supposedly my children checked the vehicle for their belongings, but one left his iPhone behind. We were notified by Alex after Darwin (our awesome driver) found it. Alex drove to our hotel to return it to us. I have no doubt he had to drive a ways to do this and I am so grateful. Regarding the trip itself…amazing. Absolutely stunning and so incredibly worth it. My advice is to acclimate as much as you can (we were only in Cusco about 36 hours prior) and then drink water every 5-10 steps. If you feel a slight headache, drink water. My kids made it to a great viewpoint of the first mountain. Darwin took them back down and looked after them. My husband saw all the mountains but opted out of the final push. Our guide, Americo, and I made it to the rock forest. It was awesome. It felt like their were rainbow mountains everywhere. Walking down was so easy. Americo cheered me on every step of the way. I HIGHLY recommend this group.

Great, even for oldies - A superb trip, well worth visiting. We had our reservations due to our age (60s), but having seen past reviewers call out both the self-dictated pace and the less intense nature of the hike, we opted in and we loved it. Great company, with respectful and knowledgable guides. Very highly recommended, especially for oldies who are young at heart!

Not worth the price - A bit of a cowboy service when I paid premium for it. I was expecting better value for money. Overall not impressed with the service despite the beautiful landscape.
