It was a great experience with Erick to explore the rainbow mountain and red valley The breakfast and lunch were delicious

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company based on our experience with the Rainbow Mountain ATV tour. The entire experience felt disorganized from the beginning\. We were given semi-automatic ATVs with very little instruction on how to properly operate them. During the practice session, I was having difficulty with the ATV and kept stalling. Instead of taking the time to explain what I was doing wrong or showing me how to correct it, the instructor, Franklin, yelled at me. At another point, Franklin went over to my husband to tell him that I was doing something wrong rather than coming to me directly and helping me understand what I needed to do differently. That was incredibly frustrating and disrespectful. If someone is clearly struggling with unfamiliar equipment, especially an ATV, the appropriate response is to teach them—not yell at them. I would have been completely willing to listen and learn. If someone had simply explained how to properly operate the semi-automatic ATV and helped me understand why I kept stalling, the situation likely could have been resolved very quickly. There were also unclear safety instructions during the ride. We were never told how much distance to maintain between the ATVs. At one point, the driver in front of me stopped abruptly, and I bumped into the back of their ATV. Clear instructions about following distance and what to do if someone stops suddenly would have helped prevent this situation. Communication throughout the tour was also poor and often seemed lost in translation. There was very little organization, and we were not clearly told how much time we had at each location or what the schedule was. We often felt like we did not know what was happening next. Most importantly, the disrespect I experienced significantly changed the entire experience for me. I was already frustrated and uncomfortable because I was struggling with unfamiliar equipment, but being yelled at instead of helped made me feel embarrassed and upset. I could not get past the way I was treated, and as a result, I was unable to fully enjoy the tour or Rainbow Mountain as I normally would have. The experience changed what should have been an exciting and enjoyable activity into one that I will remember negatively. Rainbow Mountain itself was beautiful, and we were excited about doing the ATV experience, which makes the poor service even more disappointing. A tour involving ATVs should prioritize clear instruction, patience, safety, and respectful communication—especially when guests may have little or no experience operating that particular type of ATV. Franklin’s behavior toward me was rude and unprofessional. There is absolutely no reason for an instructor to yell at a guest who is trying to learn. I would not recommend this company based on the lack of instruction, organization, communication, and professionalism we experienced.

The tour was well run with pick up on time, good breakfast & lunch provided. The quad bikes weren't a problem for us as we were experienced so it was a little tame as you follow along in single file with other people who have never ridden one. Be prepared for the red dust, pack a face buff & your cold weather clothes for up the top of the mountain. Only downside was my husband's bike kept wanting to stall on the uphill so that was a bit annoying. Overall a good tour though and good value for money.

Excellent tour. The guide José is super friendly and patient. Highly recommended

Sun. Sept. 20th, 2026: Pickup was on time. Great driver. The tour guides Eric and Jorge were really efficient. Food was really good. It's cold there in the morning, dress warm! The guides made sure we got to where we were going very efficiently and security-minded at all times, like shepherds and we tgeir flock. ATV ride was fun and scenic, with some stops for photos. If you are tired or not used to hiking, can grab a horse for 60 soles one-way then a motorcycle to near the top for 30 soles. Beautiful sunny day and lots of fun was had by all! Met some great people and wish them all the best. John from Canada

We had an amazing ATV trip to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley! Everything was well organized, the views were absolutely incredible, and riding the ATVs made the experience even more fun and exciting. Our guide, Saddain, was fantastic—very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He made sure we were comfortable and had a great time throughout the entire trip. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the highlights of our Peru trip. Highly recommended! 🏔️🏍️🇵🇪

**Incredible experience — but PLEASE use a different tour company** The ATV experience, Red Valley, and Rainbow Mountain were absolutely incredible. The scenery was indescribable, and the ATV portion was fun and exhilarating. I would highly recommend doing this excursion while in Peru — **just do yourself a favor and book it through a different company.** I did several hiking excursions while in Peru with different tour companies, and unfortunately, this was one of the ones I would strongly recommend avoiding. The communication and pre-tour information from this company was extremely poor and, frankly, concerning. Our booking confirmation stated that our pickup time was **4:00 AM**, yet we were not notified until approximately **11:00 PM the night before** that our actual pickup time would be **3:15 AM**. Giving customers less than five hours' notice of a significantly earlier pickup time is unacceptable, especially when the entire excursion involves traveling and hiking at very high elevations. The lack of useful information continued once we were picked up. It wasn't until we were on the bus, on the way to breakfast, that we were finally given an overview of the day and told what gear we would need. Many of us had packed appropriately for Peru and had brought hiking gear, but **none of us had brought the specific items they were telling us we needed because the company had never communicated this information to us.** Conveniently, there was a man selling the exact gear we were suddenly told we needed at the breakfast stop. We ended up purchasing several items from him. At that point, the entire experience began to feel extremely unprofessional. More importantly, because we were about to participate in a physically demanding excursion at **very high altitude**, the lack of preparation and communication created a genuine sense of anxiety about whether we could trust this company to keep us safe. We pushed through, and thankfully, the actual excursion itself was spectacular. However, our concerns were unfortunately validated later in the day when we saw our tour guides **receiving what appeared to be a cut/payment from the man who had sold us the additional gear that morning.** Given the circumstances, this was extremely troubling. I cannot say with certainty what the arrangement was, but seeing this made the earlier lack of communication about the required gear feel far less like an oversight and much more like a deliberate practice designed to create an opportunity for additional sales. That completely changed how I viewed the experience. Again, **the actual sights and ATV experience were amazing.** Red Valley and Rainbow Mountain were highlights of our entire trip to Peru and absolutely worth doing. But a beautiful destination does not make up for a tour operator that leaves customers uninformed and questioning whether they can trust the people responsible for them. **My strongest recommendation: DO THIS EXCURSION, BUT BOOK IT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY.** I am also extremely disappointed in **Tripadvisor** for promoting and facilitating bookings for a tour operator with this kind of experience. I relied on Tripadvisor to help identify reputable excursion companies, particularly for an activity involving significant altitude and safety considerations. After this experience, I will be very hesitant to use Tripadvisor to book excursions in the future. The destination gets **5 stars**. The ATV experience gets **5 stars**. The tour company gets **1 star — and only because zero isn't an option.** Please don't let a spectacular destination convince you to overlook the importance of choosing a trustworthy operator.

It was so unorganized. Nobody reached out to me with pick up details, so the day before my trip, I reached out to them via Viator chat. They said they were going to reach out to me in the evening and didn’t provide me any details about pick up. At 7 pm, I called the number on Viator and the guy told me the pick up is 3:40 am. As I’m trying to sleep, I get a message from the tour guide after 9 pm saying the pick up will be between 3-3:15 am. I sent him the screenshot of the other conversation and he said he will make 3:40 work. When I woke up, I saw another message from the first guy saying the pick up will be at 3:20. Mind you, this is a super early pick up, so you need to have this detail ahead of time in order to wake up early enough to be ready on time. We rushed and made 3:20 work. They showed up at 3:42 am… I’ve never seen any tours that were disorganized before. We also selected English tour but most of the group was Spanish speakers so it was hard to follow up. Overall experience was not great.

The BEST day ever! Grimaldo was our guide and I cannot say enough good things about him. Right from pickup to the drop off, Grimaldo took great care and made sure we had the best experience. I got altitude sickness after the hike and he was very attentive and took great care of me. Very Highly recommend ATV Rainbow Mountain tours and Grimaldo for tour tide. Best day!
