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!

I would 100% recommend Peru Hop! The company is so well organised, communicative and helpful. I travelled from Lima to Cusco, following their recommended itinerary. It was busy, but absolutely brilliant. There were so many things to see and do, and the whole itinerary ran so smoothly. Neil, Sergio and Lui, my tour guides, were so informative, fun and always happy to go the extra mile to help. They really made the trip such a great experience!

I am currently traveling from Lima to Parakas with Peru Hop. The company looks reliable, but the temperature is really cold in the busses around 19°. After request to change to normal temperature, the answer from the driver was that the temperature is a standard. Standard temperature for getting sick, for sure... The customer needs should be on first place. Special thanks to the guide, which provide us a blanket, but even with the blanket we are freezing and can not even have a sleep.

(Translated by Google) The two-day trip to the Oasis Desert was fantastic, and the sandboarding was thrilling and fun! However, the attractions were quite far apart, and both days started around 5 or 6 pm, so we didn't get back to Lima until very late on the second day. (Original) 參加兩日活動,綠洲沙漠行程很棒、滑沙刺激好玩 景點距離都很遠,兩天都5, 6點開始,第二天回到利馬已經很晚了
