Rainbow Mountain - We booked a private tour to Machu Piccu and Rainbow Mountain with Machu Piccu Peru Travel. We arrived two days before our trip to Rainbow Mountain to Cusco. Tania made a super effort in coming to our hotel to meet with us and explain how the days would go. She was very accommodating when we asked to borrow a walking stick for my father-in-law and always so pleasant and accommodating from my very first outreach. We were privileged to have Willie as our tour guide both days. Willie is the best as what he does. He made sure we got to see the special places and breath taking views. We felt like we have been friends with Willie for years. Celestino was also our driver both days. He’s also did a super job in driving us safely to our locations and making sure we were always okay. If you can afford to spend a few extra bucks, I highly recommend taking the private tour, getting the horse (if you’re not an avid hiker), and hopefully you get Willie.
P.S. The faster you get up, the less crowded it is and the more you get to absorb the moment and the view. If you decide to get the horse, please don’t forget your tour guide, otherwise who would help you get the best photos and special views.

Great time at Rainbow Mountain - We really had a wonderful time on this trip. The staff at travel company were professional, polite and helpful. Willy, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and fascinating. Rainbow mountain is a highlight of any Peru tour, and going with this company made it a truly unforgettable experience

HIGHLY recommend this tour - From beginning to end this was a great tour. Tania was very helpful in coordinating everything. She was very responsive via WhatsApp especially. Willy, our tour guide was phenomenal. We are just so lucky to have had him. He was kind, approachable, calming and looked out for us. Made us both feel very safe and secure on the hike. And when we got there to the top- wow! Must see and must go early with this tour group. Highly recommend.

Great agency - I am glad that this agency was recommended and I am not at all sorry to have booked a private tour to the rainbow mountain. We were one of the first on site and were able to take our pictures without stress and enjoy the view. In addition, the breakfast and lunch were surprisingly delicious, which is usually not the case with such tours. In addition, Tanja takes care of you as if you had known each other for a long time. She tries to help with everything, even if it is not about the booked tour. Our guide Willy was also very warm and accommodating. I can only recommend this agency.

Rainbow Mountain - Had to leave Cusco at 4:00 am. Not easy, but definitely worth it if you want to enjoy the place before it gets too crowded with people.
Spectacular scenery along the way, especially the last several kilometers of drive.
That final 2 hours walk, that gets you to the top, was actually harder to us than it seemed. Never before we had experience at 5000 meters altitude. But once up there it is very rewarding. The view is magnificent.
We would like to thank our guide Manuel, who was with us all the time along the way from Cusco and back. Interesting to hear about the life and the culture of the local people.
Thanks Manuel also for the visit to the big market in Cusco

Flawless - We have paid for a private tour the same price (or even less) the others pay for a group one. We couldn’t be more happy! We left very very early so we beaded the crowd and had some amazing pictures! We had delicious breakfast and lunch! Our guide Willy was super helpful and understanding and also took some very nice pictures. We did also Machu Picchu private tour with the same guide. Everything was so well organized we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend it!
