The Ahu Tongariki is stunning and worth visiting. The best view is actually later in the day when the sun lights up the Moai faces, but sunrise is beautiful, too.
The listing in Viator claims the tour is 4 hours and includes breakfast, but this is not true. We were picked up at the hotel on time (6:00am). On the drive, our guide told us some history of the Rapa Nui people, although it was difficult to hear (a combination of a very loud car/road noise plus his slurred speech). When we arrived at Ahu Tongariki, he took us to a good spot for viewing the sunrise, and then walked away. We sat and watched the sunrise (~7:20am), and then did a little exploring on our own. Just before 8am, he told us we needed to leave because he had another tour. We had not yet had a chance to explore the rest of the site, or finish taking photos. Plus, there was no breakfast. We were back at the hotel by about 8:30am.
In summary, we did not get much of a tour at all, no breakfast, and under 2 hours on site. The listing is misleading, and not worth the price.

We sincerely appreciate your feedback regarding your visit to the impressive Ahu Tongariki. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the site, especially the sunrise experience.
We deeply regret that the tour experience did not meet your expectations, particularly concerning the duration, the inclusion of breakfast, and the information provided by our guide. We have taken note of your observations regarding the difficulty in hearing the explanation due to vehicle noise and the guide's diction, as well as the reduced time at the site and the absence of the breakfast promised in the Viator tour description.
