Great hike, not easy but the experience was perfect! - Excellent trip. The information provided before the trip was very useful and should be followed. Wally was always available for any question before, during and even after. Very helpful during the hike. Personally I would definitely come back and hike with him. The breakfast and lunch were very good and was including Peruvian specialities.

Breathtaking - All I can say is what an experience, from minute one Wally was excellent, he outlined the plans for the day so the group knew what was expected and everything went so smoothly. Wally’s energy, experience and enthusiasm made this trip even more special, so I can’t thank him enough. He also spoke English and espanyol (obviously) which helped me massively being from the UK. The mountain it’s self is a special place and I would highly recommend doing this trip with Wally! Thanks again amigo adios.

Fantastic trip, highly recommend - Wonderful tour. The tour guide, Wally, was very knowledgeable and attentive. The bus picks you up directly from the hotel. Wally gave us blankets so that we can be comfortable on the ride to the breakfast restaurant. When we got to the mountain he made sure every one of us made it all the way up, cheered us on, rubbed oil on our hands to help us breathe better at the altitude. The hike is strenuous but totally worth it. Wally stayed positive and brought a lot of energy to the trip. On the way back we had lunch before heading back to Cusco. The driver was also great. Amazing experience, very cheap for what we got out of it. Was the highlight of my entire trip to Peru. Please be sure to tip your guide well because they don't make a lot of money and they do work really hard to make sure your trip is great.

Really neat trip - The views were absolutely incredible. I went with some friends and we had a tasty breakfast and lunch provided which was nice. Our guide, Wally, was funny and positive, and waited for me to get on the trail as I had to go to the bathroom before. I still can't believe how fast he manages to get up the mountain haha. Overall a really great trip and would highly recommend :)

Go on this tour! - I would STRONGLY recommend going on this tour. Wally (that's his shortened name :P) was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The breakfast and lunch were fantastic with plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. Despite it being rainy season in November, we were blessed with clear and sunny weather, and had a great view of Rainbow Mountain after the hour-long hike. I would've been happy paying double of what I did. Amazing quality.
