Honeymoon with Deyvis - I did 2 excursions, 7 Colors Mountain and Humantay Lagoon, excellent service. Especially Deyvis, who was our guide, was very attentive to us, he motivated us a lot, and how he explained the whole story surprised me a lot. He answered all our questions, and we had an unforgettable experience and he was part of it.

Mountain of Colors Trip - Many thanks to Freddy and Wilson. Very good organization, the bus picked us up on time and as planned and we had an excellent guide (Freddy). Thank you for accompanying us step by step, because the walk at 5,000 meters above sea level is strong and challenging. It is important to go slowly and if in the first section you realize that it is hectic, it is better to go on horseback. The breakfast and lunch included are good, both were buffet and it was very good. The driver Wilson was very careful in driving and took us and brought us very well. In general, the entire experience is very good.

Fantastic experience! - I used Kantu Tours for both the Rainbow Mountain tour and a customized day tour of the South Valley and Pisac. The company came highly recommended by some colleagues and did not disappoint! From start to finish, everything was professional, safe, and well-managed. Our guide Willy was fantastic -- very well informed about all the sites, spoke great English, was attuned to our needs and interests, and always put safety first. I was particularly worried about my nearly 70 year old mother going to Rainbow Mountain, but he took excellent care of her and she had no problems. We had oxygen with us at all times, and he even took a smaller canister of oxygen with him in his backpack when going up Rainbow Mountain. The driver was also super professional, prompt, thoughtful, and kind. Customer service at the company always provided prompt and helpful replies. I thought the prices for these private tours were very reasonable. This was definitely a 5 star experience and I would gladly recommend to others!

Great trip! Worth it! - Great experience! Rainbow mountain was closed so we went to Palccoyo mountain. Our Tour guide Alejandro picked us up from our hotel around 430am and others around the city. 90 min ride to breakfast in a cute spot then another 2 hour ride to the mountain. Views were spectacular! Hike itself doable - up and back to the van in about 3 hours. Views from the mountain top also wonderful. On the way back, same amount of time, stopping for lunch on the way at the same restaurant. We were back in the city center by 3ish pm. Loved the experience! Seamless and great communication with this tour group!

Rainbow Mountain at Its Best! - Really loved this. Thanks to guide Will and driver Gerald we pushed for an early start and to skip breakfast. The strategy paid off as we were the first ones at the site...in order to enjoy the view virtually in private...and take some awesome photos without the tourists in the shots. Will knows the locals, the best approached to reach the destination and he's extremely knowledgeable about the region, culture and history. Thanks, Kantu Peru Tours!

Rainbow mountains - Incredible place to visit, breath taking landscapes, with an intensive trekking to follow along. Absolutely worth it, the rainbow mountain is absolutely spectacular, a must see! I was in a private tour group, led by the tour guide David. He was really friendly, professional and helpful since the beginning, explaining everything step by step and motivating us! Really huge thanks to him that made us spend an amazing day. An unforgettable experience indeed. He even saved us the day for our tour to Machu pichu cause we had a problem, the best. An amazing day, with an amazing guide, grande David thanks for everything.
