With TreXperience its maybe the most luxury way to see the Rainbow Mountains. You have a private bus, an excellent breakfast with the best view ever and your personal guide. You have also the possibility to rent a horse for 20$ if you’re struggling with the hight. I really enjoyed it and it was totally worth it. Special shout out to Santos the cook and Jubenal his assistant and Sara who was our guide and Yovany who was driving. You all did an amazing job, thank you!????

A simply fabulous tour. Well organised, a cheerful and attentive guide Vincent, and the most amazing breakfast and lunch in a secluded and breathtaking setting - all cooked and served by our amazing cook Balvino and team. Can’t recommended highly enough!

This is my second tour with this company. We did the 4-day Inca trail and then Rainbow mountain.
I will review the Rainbow mountain tour.
It was only my husband and I on the tour. They served warm breakfast and lunch. Delicious food and well presented. The tourguide was Barnie, English speaking and professional. Chef Roger and Alias made tasty and well presented food. Mario was our driver and we felt safe in the car.
It was nice being on a solo tour because we had a plane to catch that night and we had more control over our time. We could also ask our driver, Mario to stop if we wanted to take a picture or needed water on the drive back. It was also nice to have breakfast and lunch in the mountain, away from all the tourists.
This is a luxury tour and we enjoyed it!
