Breathtaking views
Well organized. Tour captains Alex and Flora were great. Staff we well equipped to handle people that had altitude sickness. Food provided was delicious and the hike was very manageable. We opted to add the extra Red Valley section and was totally worth the extra money

A once in a lifetime...
A once in a lifetime experience! The whole tour was extremely well organised, despite it being split up into multiple different components! The van was very modern and spacious and the train was unbelievable! I highly recommend upgrading to the Vistadome carriage, the views were amazing! The guide (Roy) was great and very knowledgeable! Machu Picchu exceeded our expectations, what an incredible place!

Magic Mountain
Yo visit The Rainbow Mountain was incredible is about 3 hours from Cusco to another spot where you take cuatrimotos for 25 minutes then you can walk or take a motorcycle or a horse ride the rest is about 10 minutes walk the altitude there is about 5000 feet but is tolerable we really enjoyed and for us it was not the cold, the views are magical due to the minerals they explain our guide Edgar was phenomenal always making sure everybody was ok . This tour provided breakfast and lunch exquisite highly recommend.

Amazing!!
We had such an amazing experience on this tour! Wally was a wonderful guide, very kind and attentive, and he made the whole day enjoyable.
Everything was well organized, with timely pickup and drop-off. The hike itself was absolutely stunning, and we got really lucky with perfect weather, which made the experience even better.
You also have the option to take a horse up the mountain if you are unsure about the hike. We chose to ride up just for the experience, and it was incredible. It is such a unique way to take in the Andes.
At the top, Wally gave us plenty of time to take photos and even pointed out the best spots for pictures. Afterward, we did a short meditation to connect with nature, which was a really special touch.
We were also lucky enough to see condors and even a rainbow, which made the day feel extra magical. Breakfast and lunch were at a restaurant with an amazing view, which was another highlight.
Overall, it was an unforgettable day with a fantastic guide. Highly recommend!

Roy was great. Very attentive.
Roy was great. He was very attentive. I'd never been on an ATV before, and we were provided instructions and time to practice. On the ride up we passed lama, alpacas, and lakes. The colors on the mountains were beautiful.
*Roy's name is longer in Spanish, but he said we could call him Roy.

Fantastic Day and Good Food
It was a jam-packed day with 8 stops. The trip was great, and I saw most of the Inca places I wanted to see in one day. Only comment is that it would have been nice to have another 30 minutes at Sacred Valley, otherwise I have nothing to complain. Highly recommended. The tour guide Abel was awesome.

Beautiful Experience to Vinicunca
Alex our tour guide is nice, he is quick to explain anything needed to know before the strenous hike. He have the necessary things prepared and take care of the people that have altitude sickness. The breakfast and lunch included is basic, taste okay, like traditional peruvian/cuscan home food, so don't expect very high gourmet quality, and i think it is fair for the price of the tour. The restaurant for breakfast and lunch is the same, i recommend to use their restroom before and after the hike to vinicunca/rainbow mountains, once up in the mountain there won't be any restrooms.
Bring extra cash to rent a horse to go up, it is 50 soles per ride to go up or down (negotiable), it is an amazing experience. You can save some energy and help out the community there that just recently have road to access to their humble home.

An Unforgettable Day at Machu Picchu
We had an amazing day trip to Machu Picchu! Everything was perfectly organized—the transportation was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Our guide, Veronica, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience truly special. The train ride was a highlight on its own, with breathtaking views, great entertainment, and excellent service—special thanks to John for making it so enjoyable. Overall, we are very satisfied and highly recommend this experience!

Professional, high quality, magical 1/2 day trip
Perfect length day trip. It was an adventure without being too much time in the bus. Our tour guide Jhon was very friendly, speaking English, Spanish, and teaching us some Quechua! His extensive knowledge of the sites made each place even more magical!
We even accidentally left an item on the bus after the end of the tour, and they brought the item to our hotel. Thank you so much Jhon and Alfredo!

Best rainbow mountain tour
Really great tour. So nice to be at the top without the crowds. The whole trip was very well organized. I have a guiding business myself so I am very critical. I especially liked the warm towels and tea and blankets after we finished our trek. Elisvan and Alex were great.

The perfect afternoon
With an outstanding guide leading the way, the breathtaking scenery unfolded majestically, and riding tandem on the ATV, I felt invigorated by the adventure and captivated by the opportunity to document our journey. The archaeological sites stood as a testament to the ingenuity of the Incas' sophisticated agricultural practices, making it an unmissable destination for anyone passionate about history and ancient cultures.

We had a great time. We...
We had a great time. We had Alex as our guide and he was very good. You can either ride 2 per ATV or singles. The Red Valley was beautiful and once you get to the top you have a hike to the Rainbow Mountain which is about an hour at a very slow pace. I’d recommend this to people who are not big hikers but want to go to see these two very cool places.

It’s no secret that the most famous Cusco day trip is to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But Cusco day trips offer many more adventures beyond its star attraction. From the candy-colored slopes of Rainbow Mountain and the terraced ruins of the Sacred Valley, to the turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, Cusco’s surroundings are packed with day trip possibilities. With options to trek, ride a quad bike, or take an air-conditioned bus, day trips take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying the landscapes and ancient wonders of Peru.
