All inclusive tour to Rainbow Mountain - Alex was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Jobert was an excellent driver who got up to and from the destination safely. They took care of everything, even oxygen if needed on the hike, door to door service, a nice lunch (bring some extra cash/card if you want a drink with lunch), and even a bag with snacks, candy, juice, and water! If you want to ride a horse up and/or down (we rode a horse up which was 80 soles), its also extra and you'll need soles cash for that. There's also the typical tourist stuff at the top (Llama pics, snacks, food) which you'll need cash if you want. It's a long drive, but the hike is great and the views are awesome.

Excellent experience with great guide - Juan (John) was an excellent guide. Very educational experience. Super helpful & protective. We're an older couple (70s) and he took extra good care of us, always making sure we were safe. Took some great pictures of us too! Lunch was delicious as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

Very good experience for first timers in altitude - It was a very fun experience! Our guide John was very welcoming and the whole experience was stress free. Very well organized and we had plenty of time to enjoy the view. This tour gives us the chance to see the best views of Rainbow mountain with very minimal people on top! I would do it again for sure!

Rainbow mountain journey - An amazing experience done privately. Alex and Alex (Guide and Driver) were great and professional. Peru private tours helped us achieve a goal of ours on very little notice and made the day very approachable.
