Excellent experience - My tour was excellent. My guide Nayda was very attentive. The food and atmosphere at the restaurant was very good. I loved the 8am start time we beat the crowds. I would recommend this tour to anyone considering Rainbow Mountain.

Savor a later departure time! Great service. - This departure time is the way to go. Otherwise you have to wake up and depart 4 hours earlier at 4 am. As everyone is walking off the mountain we were headed up. Less traffic on the summit too. We arrived at the parking lot at 11 am, and left by 2 pm. Weather was clear and sunny with just a few clouds hanging overhead. Perfect day to see all the colors in a brilliant display.

Best Day Ever - Nayda our guide and Hilario our driver were so lovely. Nayda is so knowledgeable and kind. They provided everything we’d ever need throughout the day and we had a very delicious lunch halfway home! It was an incredible day, 10/10 recommend doing the 8am tour because you have less crowd and less chance the mountain is covered in snow! Incredible day, hope you get to spend it with Nayda and Hilario!

Amazing tour! - Nayda was a great tour guide, she also had creative ideas for photos. Good timing as well, we didn’t have to battle the crowd and wake up so early; we got lucky with the weather too!

Spectacular - A really beautiful experience. Being picked up directly at the hostel is a great way to start this journey. Once at the rainbow mountain site I took a horse to go up the 5000 meters altitude ride who was lead by Angelika an andean lady,walking and sometimes running up that steep hill. She does this 2-3 times a day. This in itself is really incredible. Once up there we walked up some more to a spectacular view of some snow capped mountains. Simply amazing. It even snowed and a bit cold but worth it all. Ronaldo our tour guide was so compassionate since one of the client needed medical assistance from a lack of oxygen. On the way back we had a very nice lunch at a fine restaurant with a beautiful view of the mountains. The 3 hours back and forth from Cuzco was really worth it all.

8AM pick up was amazing!! - 8AM pick up was amazing! I was able to have breakfast in the morning at my hotel and didn’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to go on a tour. No brainer! John our tour guide was great with a good English I can understand. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Once in a lifetime experience - Extraordinary experience to see the rainbow mountain along with the snow top Andes in the background. Really quite a spectacle of nature. Our guide Ronald was really helpful and great. He really is dedicated. The driver Ilario as well, was very effective.

I am fully aware of... - I am fully aware of driving conditions here but yes he drove reckless (more so than other drivers on the road) and made people hit the back of the seat in front of them many times that were 100% within his control. This caused two individuals to puke. What I mean is he intentionally waited until 5 meters from a stopped car at a light to hit the breaks causing people to fly. Was a 0/10 ride. Ronaldo the guide was 10/10!
