Good trip to the rainbow mountain!

FaridaDouraid_K, Sep 2024

The tour guide was great but the tour itself could have been conducted much better: 1) the time of pickup was not shared until late evening of the night before the tour 2) then, nobody showed up at that time and we had to have lengthy conversations with the guide at 4:30am to make sure that the tour is still happening 3) the place the tour stops is cold 4) there is no internet throughout the trip. I know that we should disconnect when we’re enjoying nature but some of us need to stay connected for emergencies.

Great day!

Great tour! Our guide, Willian, was fabulous, as was our driver Gavino. The only thing I'll mention is that this tour is actually closer to 8 hours, not 6. So plan accordingly. Definitely worth it!

Rainbow Mountain is Amazing - choose a different tour operator

Gabi_M, Mar 2024

The trip itself was lovely and the guide was good, cheap price but you can find it for cheaper in Cusco town with the local travel agencies. Very difficult climb up to the Rainbow Mountain but totally worth it for the views! The reason I have to give it 2 stars is due to the absence of communication from the tour operator as well as the transportation. I booked this trip 3 weeks in advance- then 4 days prior I messaged the tour operator multiple times through Viator to get the pick up details - no reply. I had to contact Viator support 3 times for them to chase the tour operator - to no avail. As you can imagine I was anxious as I was in a foreign country and the trip was supposed to start at 4:30am. Finally the guide messaged me (at 10pm the night before- i was already asleep due to the early start) asking for my pickup location. I replied in the morning and they said that the agency gave them the wrong address. This meant that I was the last to be collected and placed at the back of the minibus (which was full - they overbooked the minibus as there was not enough space for the people who booked the trip - meaning one person did not come.) The journey one way is about 4 hours via minibus, and it was the most uncomfortable journey I have ever had. On the way there it was OK but on the way back I was feeling altitude sickness and so being squashed in the back with the passengers in front having reclined their chairs as well as no AC or windows was an absolute nightmare. I would definitely recommend to visit Rainbow Mountain but please choose a different tour operator as from start to finish all the lack of communication and the disorganisation tainted the beautiful experience.
