Colorful Mountain in private - We did the tour to Montaña Colorada privately, leaving from Cusco at 8:30, avoiding the huge number of tourists in the main viewpoint of the mountain and without the need to leave the hotel early. The vehicle was pontual and the driver Ricardo very careful. The Gilberto guide took us to the viewpoint very calmly and respecting our walking pace, without rush. In the day before the tour, Alex gave us guidance on the type of clothes needed, which was very important to enjoy the view of the mountains, because it is very cold in the viewpoint

Super recommended - The trip went really well. Our driver Alex picked us at the scheduled time (we left at 3.30 am to get there before the crowd). I had a bit of hard time walking, so Alex helped us find a horse and even reduced the price. Alex was very attentive and helpful, equipped with coca leaves, and his driving was safe and secure.

Excellent Service on Private Palomino Taxi Tours - Excellent experience seeing the mountain 7 colors with my family in Private Service, we did wonderful, we went up with our children 6 and 13, excellent food and accompanied us Benito, excellent Service.... Alex Palomino organized all the private tours for 5 days (City tour, Sacred Valley, Humatay Lagoon, Mountain 7 colors and the day we went by train Machu pichu the private transfer to Ollantaytambo to start the train there and arrive early to Machu pichu and return to Cusco that same day by train in the afternoon), recommended 100%. Make the mountain after 3 or 4 days of arriving in Cusco to acclimatise to the height, we leave the Lagoon on the 4th day and the Mountain on the 5th, and we had no problem climbing, if you go with children rent horses to climb and lower.

Excellent Service - Immediate attention, excellent Service! I arrived in Cusco without having a 7-color Mountain tour, and I thought the dream of meeting would not be possible. With any luck I found this taxi company and within 15 minutes we were taken to know this beautiful place. In addition we were also mobilized to Poroy and picked up from the bus station on our return from Machu Picchu, the attention is immediate, very punctual and the driver Alex very professional. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends and contact them again when I visit Cusco in the future. Greetings from Canada!

Best driver's services in Cusco - Palomino Taxi - We have booked in advanced a full itinerary with Palomino taxi which include pick up and drop off from/at airport, Cusco to Ollyantatanbo and back with stops in the valley and rainbow mountain. Alex our driver was amazing, on time, polite, patient and share his knowledge about the area and sites, always was willing to stop for us whenever we requested to buy fruits or anything else, he recommended places to eat and play wonderful Andean music during our travels. The communication was in Spanish. We highly recommend his services. Alex played a significant role in the success of our trip to Cusco and the area.
