馬のクスコからレインボー・マウンテンへの1日ツアー

Picked up from hotel, Ferbando was great and kept you informed, Norman the second guide was also great. Breakfast was lovely where we stopped off. We arrived to walk to rainbow nice and early and got there before the crowds. We had lots of time there and then at 10:00 a few of us headed over to red valley… this is a must don’t miss out! It’s only 20 soles extra. Really lovely day with great views. A fabulous chicken curry for lunch after and fresh fruit, orange cake etc. Back in Cusco in plenty of time to enjoy an evening. Perfect day thank you

For a 74 year old, having a horse take me most of the way to the mountain made the experience so much less stressful

The guides were super helpful and made the experience really enjoyable. Considering going back for the full day tour while I am here..

The tour was very beautiful. We were accompanied by a master of the ceremony and made a ball ceremony to have faith thanking gods.When I booked it, I also reserved horses. Without waiting we could take it. I recommend you take horses, because at this time most of the times it will be cloudy. I enjoyed the time with horse. Lunch was very very delicious. とても素敵なツアーでした。祈祷師が同行して、私達の為に神々に感謝をする儀式を行ってくださいました。　予約したときに、馬も一緒に予約しました。スムーズに馬に乗れました。この時期では曇ってるときが多いので、馬に乗ることをオススメします。馬との時間が楽しかったです。昼食がとっても美味しかったです。

Excellent customer facing experience from Travel & Healing. Heads up highlight, this is meant to be an experience, not a regular "pick up, drop off" scenario. We had our fantastic guide Luz stop off our hotel the night before to facilitate a local Shaman blessing & set expectations for the next day. We were always taken well care of & were always safe. Beautiful experience. The only area for improvement would be in the horseback section. The community which provide those services are generous & lovely, but they kind of offer only a "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to saddles & horses. Most importantly, there needs to be a greater communication between the tour company & the native people providing the horses, since we were asked to pay for our ride even though we had previously paid upfront with Travel & Healing. Even though it worked out, we were waiting around afterwards making sure everyone was taken care of financially. Not a huge issue, just one that can be overcome with better coordination & communication on site. I definitely can say that choosing Travel & Healing added value to our experience to our trip & made the trek to Vinicunca all the more memorable.

Breakfast was a joke. 1 cold egg and a piece of bread. Took over an hour just to get started. 2 different companies used the same driver so we had to drive all over Cusco to different hotels to pick people up. We weren’t even picked up at our hotel and we had to walk to the bus. The bus driver didn’t even have a license for transporting tourists. We found out when we got to a checkpoint and the police told him he was wanted (had a warrant for his arrest) and the guides had to pay off the police to let him go. The bus was a Mercedes Sprinter. Comfortable enough on a paved road but when I was waiting to leave Rainbow Mountain I noticed that both right rear tires were completely bald!! We were hauling butt up a rocky dirt road on the edge of the mountain with shear drop offs just hours before. The ride back down was by far the most scared I’ve ever been. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is our guide. His name was Willy and he was awesome. I’d reach out to him personally if I ever go back to take us on another tour.

It took a couple of hours to drive out to the location (& there was some confusion with getting in touch with the company to setup pick-up times)- but once we got there we got onto horses to begin our trek up the mountain. I was nervous about getting on a wild horse, but was assured everything would be fine. About 5 minutes in, I was bucked off of the horse (& laughed at by the local that was leading the horse) & came close to falling off the side of the mountain. Naturally, I was incredibly upset, but got another horse & proceeded. I also want to point out that the tour guide was WONDERFUL! She was very sympathetic to my situation & stayed by my side for the rest of the trip. The horses will only take you to a certain point & then you have to hike the rest yourself & let me tell you, it is HARD in that high elevation. I have never done anything so hard in my entire life, but it is so worth it once you reach the top! You can also have a local stamp your passport for 2 soles near the top. Even though the horse put a damper on the beginning of my trip (I walked back instead of taking another horse), it ended up being a day that I will remember for the rest of my life!

We booked this tour without really knowing much about where we were going or anything. But the Apos were really looking after us because we had a great experience! The Andean Blessing was AMAZING! We truly believe that this is what helped us get not only to Rainbow Mountain but to Machu Picchu as well. The pick up in the morning was a little weird because our hotel was not downtown but we got where we needed to go. Breakfast was okay but I was afraid to eat because I was nervous of all of the bad experiences that I had read from other people. The ride up to the mountain upset my stomach so I was very nervous continuing, but the guides were very nice and assured me that I would be okay and that they had oxygen with them in case needed. Our guides did not know that we had paid for our horses already so that was a little upsetting but I had my receipts with us and we were able to sort it out. A guide stayed with us the whole ride and walk up. I felt very sick so I did not continue to the second and highest point of the mountain but the guides convinced to just go up a little to get part of the best view. They even helped me with my bag. They were just so friendly! I truly enjoyed this experience! It wasn't easy but it was definitely worth it! Travel & Healing tour group rocks!!!

Was a great experience and made my husbands and I vacation in Peru one of the most memorable. Gabi was a great guide - she shared alot of info on the country, city, history, culture, etc. Also helped in making sure we were ok with the attitude as it was very challenging since we had only arrived the night before. Also, we had some luggage issues that we had to deal with the night before but Tito was great instill being able to do the Shaman blessing which was something we were afraid we were going to miss. We got very lucky and would highly recommend!

We had a really great experience with the Travel and Healing tour company and would highly recommend them to anyone! First of all, our organizer Tito was great! He was excellent at communicating with us via email and WhatsApp to make sure we could meet with him briefly before the trip for the orientation and Andean blessing. We had issues with our flights but he was more than accommodating to help us meet at a time that would work for everyone, even though it was in the evening. Tito gave us the rundown of what was going to happen during our tour and then handed it over to the Andean priest for the blessing. The Shaman Raul gave us a very unique experience and we were lucky to be able to spend some time with him. He talked to each of us (Tito had to translate) and we were presented with some items that we had to take with us to Rainbow Mountain to complete the blessing there. After the orientation Tito even helped us find a good place to eat, and then continued to communicate with us during and even after the tour to make sure things were going well on our trip. This was really nice as most of the tours I've booked with through Viator do not confirm details or follow up with you after booking. Our actual guide for the day was Gaby and she was fantastic! We had a comfortable van as our transportation and the route to the Rainbow Mountain was very scenic as well. There were some local protests going on but Gaby really kept us posted on everything and kept us informed on what was going on. The only impacts it had to our tour was that we didn't have the option to see the Red Valley as it was blocked, and there weren't as many horses available. Throughout the day Gaby was great with providing us commentary about almost everything from the villages we passed through, foods we were eating and how the mountains were going to be like. She took her time with us (since we were not used to the altitude and moved slowly) and even helped us take a whole bunch of pictures. After seeing the main areas of the Rainbow Mountain, she took us away from the crowds to complete our Andean blessing and that was a great experience too. We had a really great day with her and she gave us lots of suggestions for things she personally likes to do and foods she like to eat for the rest of our trip. Gaby was a lot of fun! On top of all of this, Tito really went above and beyond with his services, and even helped us out with the rest of our trip. We were doing a self guided hike on the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, and he helped us organize some rental equipment and transportation to the trail head, which was several hours away. This was really unexpected but saved us a bunch of time and we really appreciated it because this was unrelated to our Rainbow Mountain tour. Tito is a great guy and continued to check in with us throughout our trip to make sure we were having a good time.
