Excellent service from the guide, attentive and very kind the whole time, the service in general is very good.
The truth all excellent, as much as the staff, as the tours. I want to highlight Karen's attention, she was always attentive to every detail! The truth highly recommended!!
They said the would pick us up at our hotel at 4:30 am. They didn’t show up. After finally finding the agency’s phone number, I called and the guy said he would look into it. He later texted me there was a confusion and they could convert it as a private tour for $10 USD extra per person. (I think we should have NOT paid anything since it was not our fault). We had no other option and accepted it. It ended up being fine and our driver was very nice, we saw some alpacas on the road and he let us stop to take photos. I think the agency is kinda unorganized. Also, I called viator at 4:50 am when I noticed no one was picking us up and they said it would take 42 hours to solve the issue. We traveled to this country with a full itinerary planned, we could not wait the 42 hours. Lastly, I find it very annoying that Viator doesn’t tell you the name of the company or their phone number anywhere in the reservation.
We regret what happened and know there are ongoing improvements we need to make. We appreciate your comment and feedback. The Family, RAP TRAVEL PERU
The trip was long, but absolutely worth it. Our guide, Oliver, was wonderful — part mentor, part instructor, part encyclopedia, and definitely a source of inspiration. He accompanied our group throughout the entire ascent. The views were breathtaking, and while the hike was long, it was doable. Huge thanks to Oliver and to our driver, Ephraim — everything was truly fantastic!
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! 🙏 We’re so glad to hear that the journey — though long — was truly worth it and that you enjoyed the breathtaking views along the way. Oliver will be thrilled to hear your description of him — mentor, instructor, encyclopedia, and inspiration — that truly captures his passion for what he does. And Ephraim, our amazing driver, will also be so grateful to know his work made a difference. It was a pleasure to have you with us. We hope to welcome you back to Peru for more unforgettable adventures! 🇵🇪✨ With appreciation, The RAP Travel Team

I rented a motorbike to go up to the rainbow mountain. I returned to the parking lot and I could the van and/or driver when I returned from the Rainbow Mountain. It will be great if the van had a company logo or the driver gave out cards with VAN number and Driver name and/or telephone contact.
It’s a very early day but it’s worth it. Roland was on time to pick up our group. He’s an awesome guide! He hiked with us and gave us plenty of time at the top. You have an option to take horse or motorcycle for extra. Breakfast on the way, lunch same place on the way back. Lunch was better than breakfast. The morning cold weather. It warmed up quite a bit at the mountain. Still dress accordingly and wear sturdy shoes. The trail is moderate however sucking air the whole way up. Summit is busy. Many people and vendors at the top. Great day! Thank you, Roland!
The agency had everything very well organized and we had a 10/10 day. The day before the confirmed that we were expecting good weather to go up the mountain and see the colorful mountain. They came pick us up at 4:30am in a car, and did a quick stop for breakfast before continuing to the Mountain. Then we got the horses to go up most of the Mountain and avoid hiking for an hour at that high altitude. Once there we hiked to the top, and our guide Noe was very proactive in choosing the best places to take pictures and videos. On the way down, we had a gorgeous hike looking at the valley, glaciers,... Quick pitstop for lunch and back in Cuzco around 3pm. 10/10 day, great experience and great logistics
Travel to cusco and never thought to live so many very beautiful experiences, meet very wonderful people and beautiful places and all thanks to rap travel a 100% recommended Travel Enterprise
We arrived at the mountain a little tired. and it was cloudy but we waited about 20 min and thank God the weather improved quite a lot. we managed to see those wonderful colors of the mountain and its red valley. Thank you RAP TRAVEL.
