Overall experience 5/5 - We booked this tour last minute. Yang is very helpful, He contacted us immediately and gave us all the necessary information. Alfret our tour guide for the day, picked us up from our hotel. He was able to communicate with our English and other Spanish speakers. Breakfast and lunch are delicious!!. I want to say thanks a lot to our driver! The road from Cusco to the trailhead was a bit scary, but our driver was great. Overall experience 5/5!

Awesome Rainbow Mountain Tour !! - After searching at some alternatives with whom to book the tour to Rainbow Mountain, We choose Inca Machu Picchu Tours as they offered a good price for our group. This tour leaves very early, however that is due to the fact you are one of the first groups up the mountain earlier than many people arrive. The tour guides are very helpful and there to try everything to make you comfortable on the trek up. Just know, it is very challenging. Highly recommend for anyone to do this trek!!!!

Wonderful tour! - A magnificent landscape and majestic mountains. It is reached above 5000 meters in height and it is necessary to be well dressed and equipped.

Absolutely stunning!!! - Very personal experience and well worth the money, the day before Yang our travel assistant came our hotel to give us a briefing and recommendations to make rainbow mountai tour and answered all our questions, the altitude is no joke though so definitely drink a lot of water or some pills prior to the trip. Our guides Carlos, Marta and driver Pedro were all brilliant. At all times they were helpful knowledgeable and made the experience memorable. HIGHLY recommend! these guys for your adventure in cusco.

Do not recommend - We took the tour on 24 April 2021. First, we waited more than 20 min for one of the parties to show up. We waited another 20 min in the van for that same party after lunch was over while they ate birthday cake. We ate at the same restaurant for breakfast and lunch. The food was good; however, there wasn't enough for the last two people in our party of 10 and definitely not enough if you wanted more--at both meals. The temperature in the morning was in the 40's and neither the van nor the restaurant had heat. The hot food at breakfast was cold because it was just sitting out and the guide ignored me when I asked for heat. He also ignored me a second time when I asked if they could do something about the walking sticks slamming up against the walls as we drove. Ultimately I ended up opening the back myself when they had to stop for gas (which they should have already done before they arrived) and reorganizing them so they wouldn't roll around. On the way back it was much warmer and there was no air circulation in the van; however, diesel fumes and dust was somehow blowing in. At lunch all the windows and doors were open at the restaurant. Again, there was not enough food and the food that was available was uncovered and swarming with flies. At the end of the tour we were dropped off about 10 minutes away from our hotel and told to walk back. There was never hand sanitizer available nor were temperatures ever taken. No one on this tour wore their mask in the van and the guide was upfront behind a shield. We were supposed to receive a briefing in our hotel the night before, but just received an email. After the tour was over the guide gave us a 5 min or less informational briefing about the history of the mountain, but nothing prior. I would definitely not recommend this company when there are so many who are so much better.
