An amazing day

Had such a great day on this tour! The views at Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley were absolutely amazing, and riding the ATVs was so fun. Randy was our guide, and he was great. He was friendly, funny, and made sure everyone was doing well the entire time. He brought a speaker, played some music, and created a really fun atmosphere. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and I’d definitely recommend this tour! Thank you Randy!

Excellent experience

Very fun experience. We were picked up on time at the hotel at the agreed time at 6am, beautiful landscapes along the way, very delicious breakfast and lunch and with many options included in a local restaurant. The highlight was the very fun quad-cycle ride. The final walk to the top of the mountain was about 40 minutes. We got a very nice day. We arrived at 18h in Cusco. The guide Jefferson was very helpful and attentive.

Thank you, Wilbert.

It was an incredible experience; the breathtaking landscapes and the colors created by nature here seem almost unreal, but it is all true! Wilbert, our guide, was fantastic, kind, attentive, and truly well-prepared, as well as genuinely very friendly. Absolutely recommended experience! Congratulations, Wilbert!!

The landscape is impressive.

It was a very nice experience. We saw many llamas and alpacas. The red valley is stunning, and the mountain of the 7 Colors is just a small part of the mountains that adorn this landscape. Wilbert, our guide, did a great job.

Amazing tour

Guide Max was extremely attentive and careful with everyone in the group, making many pauses during the hike so we could catch our breath. He was always concerned that we all have the best possible experience, which made the outing much more enjoyable and safe.

Great company and a fantastic day out that we won't forget..

Despite the early morning start (3:25 pick-up), Me and my wife had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. We were collected in the morning outside our accomodation and took a bus about an hour and a half to have breakfast in a large hall with other tour goers. Mostly cereal and a few basic cooked bits like pancakes and omelette and much needed coffee! We then set of another roughly same trip to the bottom of the red valley, be warned the road it's a bit bumpy but the buses are fairly comfortable. We enjoyed quad biking up part of the red valley and then did about 2 hours of walking through the top of red valley and to rainbow mountain. Bring lots of layers as it's very cold, a snood for the bike dust (and warming ears and face) and also gloves are ESSENTIAL or your hands will freeze! We had a great scenic tour through the valleys and had hiking poles provided, had enough time for good photos in many places although expect queues for hot photo spots. We then had our return journey through valley, on bikes back to the bottom and then bus back for lunch in the same place, good spread can't complain. We then got dropped in Cusco plaza. I need to give a massive massive thanks to our guide Max. He was funny, informative about everything we were doing and sights to see. He took photos for everyone, helped anyone having any issues (such as myself as I had some bad altitude sickness heading down). He really made the tour special for us and cannot thank him enough.
