Important information
Know before you book
- Rainbow Mountain Travels try to be as flexible as possible when it comes to changes or cancellations CHANGES ARE FREE:Any changes to the tour date need to be done before 6:00 pm the day before the tour begins
- NO SHOWS OR CANCELLATIONS:If you cancel the day prior to the tour before 6:00 pm Lima time or earlier, a 20% administration fee (+ the card fee) will apply. After this time, you are considered a no-show and there are no refunds as unfortunately its too late for us to sell your seat on the bus.
- WARNING – Informal Cusco Operators: When being picked up, check with the guide to ensure your name is on their list. Many local companies go to hostels and try to persuade you to go on their tour even though you have booked with Rainbow Mountain Travels, and then charge you later in the day. Rainbow Mountain Travels is the best rated company for a reason!

(Translated by Google) A very punctual and efficient company. The guides are very professional and efficient, especially the Nile guide. Excellent communication in Spanish and English, great tips, and very charismatic. Andrea, who was in training, was also very polite and friendly. I recommend them without reservation and would definitely take other tours with them. (Original) Empresa muito pontual e eficaz. Os guias são muito profissionais e eficientes, especialmente o Nilo. Excelente comunicação em espanhol e inglês, ótimas dicas e muito carismático. A Andrea, que estava em treinamento, também foi muito educada e simpática. Indico sem restrições e faria outros passeios com eles com certeza.
Jose was a delight! She spoke great English and the tour was well organized! I hope you had the best birthday! Salud!
Traveling through Peru was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was having Neil as our guide. From the very beginning, Neil was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of Peru. He made every stop interesting with fascinating stories and local insights that you simply wouldn't get traveling on your own. Whether we were exploring ancient ruins, hiking or riding a dune buggy through breathtaking landscapes, or experiencing local cuisine and drinks, Neil ensured everything ran smoothly and that everyone felt comfortable and included. What stood out most was his genuine care for our group. He was always accommodating, organized, and willing to answer questions or offer recommendations. His enthusiasm was contagious and made the entire trip even more enjoyable. If you're planning a trip to Peru, I highly recommend traveling with Peru Hop. They truly go above and beyond to create an amazing experience, and thanks to them this was a trip I'll remember for a lifetime!
