Well organised and spectacular
Very well organised and slick tour. Spectacular scenery and we were given plenty of time and the freedom to wander as we wanted.
The meals included were tasty and there was plenty of food, despite it being mass catering .
Paid for pickup at the hotel, but this turned out to be someone to walk us to the main pick up point.
We hit weekend traffic getting back to Cusco which meant we were about an hour late getting back. Obviously beyond the tour operator’s control, but something to bear in mind if you have evening arrangements.
Rainbow mountain was much more impressive than I expected, and the trip up through Red Valley is also staggeringly pretty. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable adventure with Rolando!
My husband and I booked a private tour to Red Valley and Rainbow Mountain with Rolando, and it was absolutely amazing! From the start, Rolando and our driver took great care of us and made sure we arrived safely at the ATV station. The ATV ride was such a fun part of the adventure, and the mountain views were breathtaking!
What made the day extra special was Rolando. He was so caring, super friendly, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He encouraged us to walk slowly, take breaks, and sip water, always making sure we felt comfortable. We never felt rushed and could enjoy every moment at our own pace. Neither of us experienced altitude sickness, which we were very happy about!
If you’re considering this trip, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Rolando. Having that personal attention and flexibility made the experience even better. Thank you, Rolando, and our wonderful driver, for a day we’ll never forget! 🏔️❤️

Monica made this tour perfect
The tour was very good! I would recommend it 100%! The 7-colored mountain is very crowded, but it is worth it! Monica, our guide, was spectacular! She knows a lot and makes sure that we are all doing well. She explained everything in both English and Spanish. If you take this tour with her, you are lucky!
