Nuestro guía fue muy amable y compartió con nosotros información y detalles que hicieron la experiencia más significativa. El restaurante elegido para el desayuno y el almuerzo fue muy acertado, la comida muy buena y el lugar acogedor y limpio. Disfrutamos especialmente de ver el área de servicios higiénicos muy limpia y organizada. El conductor muy experto y muy amable también! Disfrutamos mucho nuestra aventura. Muchas gracias al señor Nilton, la señora Ruth y el señor Mario.
Lised E.Great value! Ruben was super communicative, so pick up morning of was really easy. He also told great stories on the hike up! Overall, really incredible value with roundtrip transport + two meals (restaurant and their staff were wonderful--capped off the day with pisco sours on the house).
EmilyFue una experiencia única mucho más hermoso de lo que habría esperado y aun hay más por ver. Siempre estuvieron pendientes de nosotros y de como.nos sentíamos muy pacientes.
LeonWe went with Victor who is super nice and thoughtful. The rainbow mountain is impressive and definitely worth your time. I also like the food provided during the trip, the chef and his crew was super nice. Make sure you eat a lot of protein for the breakfast so that you have energy for the hiking. Of course, the hiking part is hard, you can pay extra to ride the horse (make sure you have cash). I hiked up by myself and enjoyed horse riding on my way down (uphill costs 60 soles and downhill costs 40 soles) . On our way back, we had pisco sour after our lunch, we paid our tribute and respect to pacha mama, that was a peaceful and mindful moment for me. We would definitely recommend this trip if you are coming to Cusco.
NicoleIt was a great experience! Breakfast and lunch was really good. I took a horse and that was a right decision! I highly recommend to ride on a horse. You can save time and energy.
AyanoWe had a great time during this tour! The view was amazing. The guide was very thoughtful and insisted carrying my bag for me when I was tired. The breakfast and lunch included were very nice too and very clean restaurant. There were some accident at the Lima airport so some flights were cancelled. We were very about our upcoming flight tomorrow, and the tour guide was kind enough to take us to the airport on the way back to ask more about the situation. Thank you so much Ruben for organizing everything!
LolaThe van and driver were solid. The guide did well to also share tour info in English. The breakfast and lunch were also really good.
JohnWhat a great day. The weather was awesome. The tour was very well organized. Got to visit both Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. Lots of great pictures and memories. Thankyou.
