Beautiful landscapes. Very good guide and attentive. The food was delicious. I recommend going up with ATVs and a horse for those who are not used to the altitude/hike. Everything well organized

Price-quality perfect.
In general, the experience was fulfilled; the idea was to see the 7-colored mountain; it is known that there are many others with fewer crowds, but as a first experience in Cusco, it is acceptable.

Un excelente servicio de tours, bien organizado y muy diverso! Deliciosa comida y gran amabilidad
Este tour fue FANTASTICO y la empresa Aremika Travel fue excelente. Generalmente no compro tours, porque soy peruana y podria hacerlo sola. Pero venia con mi novio que es Italiano y era su primera vez en Peru y mi hermana que llegaba desde el Brasil, y queriamos estar sin estres o preocupaciones. Honestamente, las expectativas no solo fueron buenas, si no, superadas. Atentisimos en todo momento. Siempre escribiendonos y asegurandose que estuvieramos bien. No nos descuidaron ni un momento, todo fue tranquilo, bien organizado, muy formal. Los felicito y los recomiendo y en el futuro regresare. Buenos guías, bilingues. Rica comida, buen transporte, buen servicio. Gracias por unas bellisimas vacaciones en familia! This tour was FANTASTIC, and Aremika Travel was excellent. I usually do not book tours because I am Peruvian and could easily do it on my own. But this time I was traveling with my boyfriend, who is Italian and it was his first time in Peru, and my sister, who was coming from Brazil, and we wanted to enjoy the trip without stress or worries. Honestly, our expectations were not just met, they were exceeded. They were incredibly attentive at all times, always messaging us and making sure we were doing well. They did not neglect us for a single moment. Everything was smooth, well organized, very professional. I congratulate them and highly recommend them, and I will definitely come back in the future. Great guides, bilingual staff, delicious food, good transportation, and excellent service. Thank you for such a beautiful family vacation!

It was a good experience the vist to the rainbow mountain
This was a long traveling time tour, but they provided food, transportation, and enough information to visit the mountain During the visit of the mountain, we had fog and snow so you have to be prepared for bad weather, but overall the tour was great. They suggested to use a bike ride or horse ride to go to the top which I did and that saved me time and effort to get to the top. Great organization and communication. Also the local guide provided useful information If you’re not used to the altitude, do take the ride, beautiful views

Top experiences in Cusco
I did several tours with the agency, and each of them was a unique experience, all well organized and planned, Carina and Tomas were so friendly and helpful that they made our stay in Cusco and the tours more comfortable, quiet and reliable, as well as they were aware of each tour we did and giving us very clear instructions one day before each tour, as well as advice from them, in particular very good agency and certainly if I return I would schedule again with the same Enterprise:) thanks to Carina and Tomas!

My experience with the agency
The experience was incredible. They advised us on the best tours, the weather, and what to bring since we were only going for 3 nights and 4 days. From the start, the guide was super nice. I went alone with my wife Analiz and I loved it.

It was a very good and unforgettable experience
A great experience. Breakfast and lunch are included and there was great variety. The climb can be complicated, due to the altitude, but our Bryan Guide was on the lookout the whole time. Recommended 100% this activity with tripadvisor.

Mountain of Seven Colors
The climb lasts very long but it is definitely worth it, nature marvels us all the time. I recommend taking the horse, and the agency company with their previous recommendations and follow-up after the tour were very wise.

Unforgettable experience…Good price and excellent service
The seven-color mountain experience, although physically demanding, was one of the most rewarding and unforgettable. The guide was super friendly, super knowledgeable and in good humor. Very attentive to us and supporting us on the climb. I didn't like the food much, but it didn't hurt the experience. Super recommended the tour and the agency, for treatment and price
