Wonderful experience - 旅行社的接待人Harry很棒、很親切!幫我搞定很多旅程上問題,除了彩虹山行程,我後續也報名了這間旅行社。包括Salkantay trekking 和Sacred Valley等行程。 The agency guy Harry is nice and good enough for dealing all the tourist problem in Cusco. Except the rainbow mountain tour, I also book other tours in the agency, including Salkantay trekking and Sacred Valley.

Not every ones cup of tea. Road is... - <p>Not every ones cup of tea. Road is very dangerous with possibility of landslides. Had couple people pass out due to lack of oxygen @ 5000 m altitude. Once you are there its heavenly!</p>

Not what we expected - We were unlucky and our tour didn't have a English speaking guide as we had booked. So unfortunately we didn't get a lot of the interesting explanations etc. Also due to the language barrier we "lost" our guide after taking a horse up the mountain. Thus weren't sure what to do once off the horse. I am an asthmatic and didn't want to walk the rest of the way up the steepest sections without the guide and the potential oxygen support. It wasn't worth the risk to my health. What we did see was amazing and still totally worth it.

Super long drive! - We were picked up at 430 am in a big bus (all the other tours we did we were picked up in a van fitting less than a dozen passengers). Because of the higher number of passengers, we made a lot more stops to pick up in the morning and continued to pick up other travelers for another 2-2.5 hours. We then traveled for about 3 hours and had breakfast consisting of bread and jam ( I wish we could have skipped and kept going) and then drove for another hour. The hike itself is grueling but obviously the tour company doesn’t have control over this. However, once we got back to the bus after our hike, we had to wait for another 2 hours for everyone to come back and then drive another 5 hours (stopping for lunch at the same place as breakfast). I would recommend going with another company and ensuring that it’s a small group so you don’t have to go through the same pain of picking people up for 2 hours and then waiting for everyone to get back to the bus for another 2 hours

Too bad I can’t leave a 0 - Well I can’t tell you how the tour was because the company never picked us up. We went down to the office the night before the tour and spoke with the owner directly to confirm pick up time and location. He confirmed we would be picked up at our hotel, he knew which hotel we were staying at and pick up time of 4am. At 6am we still had not been picked up. We tried calling all phone numbers on the website with no luck. Finally at 615 we got Ahold of him on WhatsApp. According to the tour guide someone else was picked up who knows where claiming to be us and with no ticket. I’m not sure how a business stays afloat with practices like this but we missed out on a trek of a life time. Very dissatisfied.
