My friend and I recently...

Poppy_G, Jan 2025

My friend and I recently went on this tour to Rainbow Mountain, and while the guide was incredibly kind and did her best to ensure my friend’s safety when he got sick from the altitude, there were a few issues that impacted the experience. Her English wasn’t great, which made communication a bit difficult, especially in an emergency situation like altitude sickness. Additionally, it was challenging to fully understand or learn about the area or local community because of this. In terms of the tour logistics, we were disappointed that some promised inclusions, like snacks and breakfast, weren’t provided—apparently, we were expected to bring our own breakfast. While the scenery was beautiful and the guide was attentive, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations due to the high cost of the tour, the language barrier, and lack of stated inclusions.

Excellent tour

Excellent tour and guide. Left early which was great as it avoided all the crowds which came later. Guide walked at a good pace and made sure everyone was okay. Included breakfast and lunch which was good.
