The best option!!!

It was amazing! Guide and motorist very kind. It is not a cheap tour but it is worth it. We went on a confortable car, they drove smoothly and cared about us feeling good or not with the altitude. I forgot my card on the car and without me asking they came Back to my hotel to bring it. I loved, would definetly reccomend it!!

Colorful Mountain in private

We did the tour to Montaña Colorada privately, leaving from Cusco at 8:30, avoiding the huge number of tourists in the main viewpoint of the mountain and without the need to leave the hotel early. The vehicle was pontual and the driver Ricardo very careful. The Gilberto guide took us to the viewpoint very calmly and respecting our walking pace, without rush. In the day before the tour, Alex gave us guidance on the type of clothes needed, which was very important to enjoy the view of the mountains, because it is very cold in the viewpoint

Operator response

Estimado Ricardo, muchas gracias por tu preferencia para nosotros fue bonito conocerles. Saludos a su familia.

Super recommended

The trip went really well. Our driver Alex picked us at the scheduled time (we left at 3.30 am to get there before the crowd). I had a bit of hard time walking, so Alex helped us find a horse and even reduced the price. Alex was very attentive and helpful, equipped with coca leaves, and his driving was safe and secure.

Operator response

Dear Anat, thank you for visiting our country. We are delighted to hear that our customers who trusted our service have ended up happy. Hugs from the land of the Incas Cusco.

Excellent Service on Private Palomino Taxi Tours

Excellent experience seeing the mountain 7 colors with my family in Private Service, we did wonderful, we went up with our children 6 and 13, excellent food and accompanied us Benito, excellent Service.... Alex Palomino organized all the private tours for 5 days (City tour, Sacred Valley, Humatay Lagoon, Mountain 7 colors and the day we went by train Machu pichu the private transfer to Ollantaytambo to start the train there and arrive early to Machu pichu and return to Cusco that same day by train in the afternoon), recommended 100%. Make the mountain after 3 or 4 days of arriving in Cusco to acclimatise to the height, we leave the Lagoon on the 4th day and the Mountain on the 5th, and we had no problem climbing, if you go with children rent horses to climb and lower.

Excellent Service

Immediate attention, excellent Service! I arrived in Cusco without having a 7-color Mountain tour, and I thought the dream of meeting would not be possible. With any luck I found this taxi company and within 15 minutes we were taken to know this beautiful place. In addition we were also mobilized to Poroy and picked up from the bus station on our return from Machu Picchu, the attention is immediate, very punctual and the driver Alex very professional. I will definitely recommend them to my family and friends and contact them again when I visit Cusco in the future. Greetings from Canada!

Señora Luz fué un placer conocerles y viajar con ustedes, saludos también a su esposo y a su pequeño hijo. Esperamos viajar en el futuro nuevamente.

We went to the mountain with Alex and made sure the experience was amazing. Always attentive to how the group was doing and helping those who were left behind. It was for us very punctually and everything went according to expectations. Breakfast and lunch were amazing and even helped us prepare Mexican food. Fully recommended.
