We were quite worried in doing the Rainbow Mountain tour as we heard all stories about how the altitude was daunting to most hikers. We came across this option where they drive us almost to the top of the mountain. It was very easy and the views were incredible all the way through. Bonus- they had lunch included in the price and was served at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this tour.
