Once in a life time experience - It was an excellent experience & special thanks to Robinson for making it even better. We booked a private tour through Viator & they arrived at our hotel on time.
The car was spacious and comfortable. We skipped the breakfast and lunch since we wanted to optimise the time, and they were very flexible with the changes and stops. Robinson was friendly and provided us with incredible insights during the trip.

Awesome experience - What a great experience! The scenic drive there was out of this world. The mountains were too, unbelievable. It is a tough hike up.
The only thing, I wish we had more time to stay there. We could stay only one hour which was not enough after having to wait in line for fotos and not being able to go to the summit which is another 100 meters up.
This tour is a great value for the money.

Excellente! - Eventhough it was not the best weather when we went we still got a good look of the Rainbow Mountain it was amazing to see it in person. Our guide Wally was really accomodating and understanding, he had to walk to our hotel to pick us us eventhough the request was so short. I would recommend to have him as a tour guide. Our driver Cirilo gave us a smooth ride. I felt bad we didnt get to tip him more, i ran out of cash :(.
The whole experience was great for a very cheap amount, oh btw breakfast and lunch were included.
