Rainbow Mountain Will Take Your Breath Away.. Literally - George was a great guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Even though we didn’t have the greatest weather, it was still an amazing experience. Definitely recommend booking a private tour with George. It’s way better than booking one of those large group tours.

Best experience to hike the rainbow mountain - This was one of the most amazing and unique experience I have had in my life! The hike was so worth it. And thanks to our tour guide for making it easy for us. Breakfast and lunch buffet was provided as well as up and drop off. As someone who is a travel creator, I definitely recommend!!

Rainbow mountain - Jorge was amazing and knowledgeable. He was very supportive when I had hard time walking in high altitude, he was very patient and took his time. I would highly recommend him.

Just wow - The horse ride was awesome, was able to enjoy the beautiful views before climbing the last leg of the hike. Our tour guide Gorge was great! We had a private car and he was very knowledgeable. We stopped to eat after the hike in a nice little place on the way back (water and meal was included). I would do this tour again!

Experience is not labeled correctly (Not private / Park entrance not included / 9 hour bus ride vs 5 hours) - The experience is not what is advertised by Viator. This experience is sold as a private tour and all fees included. My brother and I were on a tight timeline and booked this tour for this reason. - Upon pick up we were continuously asked if we wanted to do ATVs to the the top of Rainbow Mountain where we said no multiple times. We found out that this was because the tour group wanted to add us to a group verses a private experience. We said yes eventually because there was no one available to take us solo to Rainbow Mountain - The experience said that park entrance was covered as well. We had to pay the guide on the bus for each individual entry - We were added to a group tour where we were crammed into a bus for 4.5 hour each way. (The ATV experience requires a 4.5 hour drive vs the hike which is only 2.5 hours each way) Rainbow Mountain was amazing and I would go again I just would not book through Viator as the experience was falsely labeled
