Beautiful - Rainbow mountain was worth visiting. The guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. Be prepared for high altitude. Adjust to higher altitudes in Cusco for a few days before going.

Amazing rainbow mountain experience! - Amazing experience and views from Rainbow Mountain. We didn’t think we would be able to do the climb as it at 5000m. However we took it slow and steady and we did it! It is well worth it as the views are amazing! Our guide Elisan and Alex were amazing- very friendly and helpful.

Amazing rainbow mountain experience - Alex and Elisban were amazing guides. They made the whole day a fun and memorable experience. We loved Rainbow mountain, the views and the hike. The restaurant was good. And we had a fun disco in the minibus on the way back!

Truly magical!!! 🤩 - Beat the crowd tour to visit the magnificent rainbow mountain is basically the only way you should do it. The mountain was available nearly only for us, which makes the experience that much more special! Riding up with the local horses was a great tip from our tour guide, to not feel completely exhausted when witnessing the beauty of Mother Nature! You should always aim for amazing pictures when visiting such special places and Ronald over delivered on that aspect as well! All in all, Peru Private Tours is a great company, especially with such a knowledgeable and amazing guide! Thank you so much for making this experience a lifelong perfect memory!!!

Superb tour with many personal touches - From start to finish this was a wonderful tour with lots of nice personal touches. We got a little snack bag which was a lovely touch. The fact that this tour started at 8am was nice as coming down from the hike we got the mountain to ourselves. Alex was a great driver and Elisban was very kind and encouraging throughout the hike. The little glow stick rave coming back and playing music from each of our countries was loved too. It was nice to be dropped back to my apartment too as most tours have been on have dropped you to the main plaza only.

Rainbow mountain with Elisban - Elisosban is fantastic! Great care to all details.The driver Alex is reliable. Elisha’s carried an oxygen cylinder to the top of the mountain in case we need it. Fortunately no one in our group needed it.

Good experience enhanced by excellent tour guide and driver. - The tour took place as advertised. Our tour guide was very reassuring and accommodating, he introduced us to chuta bread and even helped us order some on our way back to Lima. Unfortunately on our way down from Rainbow Mountain it started snowing/raining and we all had very muddy boots which dirtied the van. The driver remained very helpful and patient, he even lend me his gloves. My friend did succumb to altitude sickness so just be aware of this risk.
