Do the 8am Tour! Much better - Highly recommend doing the 8am start tour like this. All the crowds are gone by the time you get to the top of the mountain so it’s much more pleasant. When we started the walk up we saw huge crowds at the top from the early morning tour, it would’ve been colder and too crowded up there for pictures. The hike for the early morning tour would also be cold. Recommend this tour starting at 8 for a pleasurable experience. Guide was great too

Great experience! - Our Guide Nayda was excellent, she picked us up at our Pension and is really very friendly. She speaks very good English and we were able to understand everything about the organization of the excursion. Nayda explained the various remains we encountered on our way. Arriving at the mountains rainbow she was very attentive so that everyone can enjoy the experience. She explained everything there was to know about these mountains and the Quechua culture. I recommend this activity to visit the rainbow mountains, it was great!

Good tour to enjoy the mountain of colors - Tour highly recommended! You leave at 8 o'clock in Cuzco and when you get to the colored mountain you have the opportunity to see it without people! When you arrive the thousands of people from the other tours come back!!! A unique experience. Very good food and quality! Nayda the Guide very involved, friendly and Pro!

Amazing hike - Really enjoyed this hike. The guide knew when to stop and take a break and didn’t push us. 8 was perfect time to go as there was nobody up there at that time everybody was coming down.

Beautiful but unpredictable - Rainbow Mountain is beautiful but the weather can be unpredictable. We experienced sun, snow, clouds, hail and sun again all in a matter of about 3 hrs. It was beautiful to experience but people should come prepared.

The best way to discover the Rainbow Mountain. - We just have a wonderful day! Nayda is a extremely professional guide and Hilario is a careful driver. The whole experience was magic and we have learned a great deal of the Peruvian culture. Nayda and Hilario were always on time and they highly contributed to this perfect day!

Very well organized experience - Frank the guide was amazing and extremely sweet, as was the driver. From pick up to drop off to the excellent restaurant and meal organized by the company - the trip was very enjoyable. The only downside was the three mini snow storms - which is a weather related issue and in no one’s control.

Great day tour!!! - I like the late pick up! Our guide Nayda and driver Elario were excellent!! The hike up was difficult for me, but there are options to go on a horse. The views are beautiful and at the later time, there were not many people there. Nadia took many great pictures of us. Then we had lunch at a delicious restaurant! The only bad thing is that I was very hungry as we had lunch at about 3:30 pm. They did give us a snack, but I recommend you bring an extra snack so you are not starving! Overall, wonderful trip!!
