The tour to Mount Rainer, was awesome, It is the best of the best. Our guide knew very well every spot to get the best pictures, also he stopped every... read more time we have a chance to see animals. He looked for activities for the kids and took them with a Park ranger to do some activities and they won a jr park ranger badge, It was awesome. At the end he provided cup cakes to finish our adventure in the park, Very very very recommendable. Even it was raining in the morning in Seattle, the guide told us It might be raining up there in the mountain, all the way was very cloudy, but when we got in Paradise point , the sly was clearly blue and we could enjoy the mountain.

  I took this tour with my mother and 9 year old son. Joel was our tour guide - we loved him!! He gave clear, but kind, instructions on... read more how long we had at stops and when we needed to be back to get on the van.
He noticed that my mom was feeling sick and arranged for her to sit in the front seat and offered her ginger ale. We stopped at a gas station with a deli and grabbed food for the day which we ate as we went. Our first stop close to the park was at Tongue Point where we got to see tide pools because it was low tide. We got to see an abundance of tiny crabs, sea anemones, and even a sea star!
Our next stop was at Crescent Lake. We hiked in a lush, green, old growth rainforest which was beautiful!!
Finally, we drove up to the visitor center at Hurricane Ridge. If I hadn’t been confident in Joel’s driving, I would have been a little terrified driving up the side of a mountain without guardrails. There was snow around the visitor center and we also saw a couple of marmots (small animal that lives there).
My son loved that Joel had a snowball fight with him. He said that has been one of his favorite things about our week long trip to the Seattle area.
I highly recommend this tour- it is worth the money!!! The National Park is truly awe inspiring and Joel took great care of us! He went out of his way to make sure that everyone had a good experience. He is a kind, generous, and compassionate person, we really appreciated him!!

  Joel was a great guide and very knowledgeable! We covered so much ground in just one day! I would definitely recommend this tour.

  Excellent driver, comfortable bus, beautiful scenery on the way there, very easy access to the main street of leavenworth, and great timing to spend the day there! My friend and... read more I thought the bus was the perfect option for our day trip needs! We especially appreciated the snacks on the bus ride, movie on the way back, ability to drop off items on the bus (so that we didn't have to carry them the whole day) and having a rest stop on the way there. A couple of suggestions: 1) it appeared that the bus driver and tour guide were not quite on the same page with the itinerary and number of stops, so it would be nice if this were more clear to everyone, including riders, upfront. 2) Although we sincerely appreciated the spirit and cheer of the tour guide, I think that cutting the long list of cheesy jokes and swapping them out for an additional movie (for the way there) would be more enjoyable for everyone on the trip.

  The trip to Mount Rainier was made because of the guide Don. Who rearranged the stops to get maximum advantage of them for when Mountain came out from the clouds... read more later in the day!

  I am so thankful for Customized Tours and our guide Mark for providing the highlight of my vacation in Seattle. From the very start, the mood was light hearted and... read more fun and Mark did a great job of keeping everyone involved and included. Mark was very knowledgeable of the Seattle area and managed to make the bus ride a ton of fun with trivia and fun facts and a great sense of humor. My fiancé proposed while on the wine and waterfall tour, and our guide Mark made the experience one I will never forget! Mark went above and beyond by capturing the moment with videos and pictures and helped make it a memory we will never forget!

  Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He also went out on the stops with us even if it was hiking a short distance.

  Wow. What an amazing tour this has been. Lucas took us to the highest point reachable by car and stopped at any highlight along the way. He also made sure... read more we knew when we were going to take a break to get some food or drinks or a sanitary stop. He shared information about the mountain, about the park and about Seattle. He even told us some stories about his family which were all so nice. We had the opportunity to take beautiful pictures and to see a lot of the park. A BIG thank you to Lucas with all his knowledge and I’ll be sure to do the tour again when im back in Seattle.

  This was our first time visiting Seattle but it has been on my bucket list for a long time. Lucas was accommodating, knowledgeable and a great story teller. He even... read more threw in some jokes. At each stop, he allowed us to enjoy our time and we never felt rushed at all. It was truly an incredible day and most definitely worth the money! I highly recommend to anyone. Our only suggestion for the future is for a stop at a fast food stand or something similar for a light dinner on the drive back to the hotel. Thank you Lucas for a memorable trip!

  Our tour guide Ray was awesome! Very knowledgeable. The waterfall was GORGEOUS! Loved the wine tasting of course. So much fun!

  Loved this day trip! Lucas was our guide and he arrived promptly at the designated place and time. He was thoughtful, kind, and easy to speak with.

  Shout out to our tour guide Joe! He's very professional, knowledgeable and helpful! The tour started early morning from Seattle downtown and I'm impressed that Joe managed to show us... read more 4 different locations at Olympic national parks. He also led the trails at these locations.

Strongly recommend it if you have only one day for the Olympic NP, or someone like me, not familiar with the weather. it's definitely fun and worth it!

  Enjoyed the entire day with Lucas, our tour guide and driver. He gave just enough information and jokes to inform but not to bore us. Mt.

Corey was an amazing guide that didn’t make us feel bad about being the only ones there; he even gave us options to customize the tour a little as a result! Corey was super informative about Seattle and the surrounding areas. Everyone we encountered on this tour was really friendly and accommodating. We bought way too much wine, saw beautiful views, and walked away with some great memories.

  I’m so glad that we paid for a tour because of I had tried to get my girlfriend to do the tour on my own she probably would have pushed... read more me off! Lucas was a great guide and alerted us about the food situation and stopped for groceries and provided last minute reminders to get cold gear if needed. He was very knowledgeable of the area and accommodating to the several different hiking capabilities of the group. Hiking in the snow was a very unique experience that we likely wouldn’t have done without a guide like Lucas. If going in the winter pack warm and waterproof shoes and pants!

  We loved this tour.

To start we actually booked the tour a week after we left and only realized our mistake the morning of the tour. We called right... read more away and they contacted the driver and we’re able to join the tour.

Our driver Lucas was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

We stopped and Longmire for a bit and then headed out to Paradise where we snowshoed. We were fortunate to have a spectacularly sunny day.

We could not have asked for a better experience!

If we are lucky enough to make it to this area again we will take the tour again.

  We are Las Vegas natives who came to Seattle for some fun and relaxation. We love wine, so we booked this tour with expectations being at a minimum, however, Mark... read more (aka Ron, aka Ryan) made our time exceptionally phenomenal.

We recommend this tour to anyone and would definitely do it again when we return. Thank you, Mark (Ron ), for an amazing time. Lidia & Cece

  We booked the Mount Rainier day tour and Joe was our tour guide and driver.

  Capt Steve was an excellent host and multi-tasking driver/educator. Steve was a wealth of information on the City of Seattle, he throws in mid-bits of info you would... read more never think of on your own. His ability to remember trivia and history is amazing along with his mix of iconic music relative to the city and the movie "Sleepless in Seattle".

Thank you Captain for sharing.

  What an incredible experience!!!

Our adventure specialist (tour guide), Mark, picked us up, on time, in our hotel parking lot. We booked a group tour; however, other members... read more of the group (elsewhere) were unable to make it...so, we received the 5-star treatment and toured around Seattle with our own personal guide. How amazing it was. Mark was like family 20 minutes into the tour. He was friendly, genuine and great with our 6-year-old. He was an expert communicator and ensured that we had the best experience possible. Heck, he even had a trivia game with the flashing lights for correct answers and the winning payments (still waiting for our check, BTW 🙂 ). Mark also adjusted his trivia to include our son. On top of all that, he was our own personal photographer, gave us great food recommendations and tips throughout the tour, and is an overall great human being. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him; and, hopefully, our paths will cross again in the future.

  Our guide, Cory, was knowledgeable and made the trip interesting and enjoyable we would definitely use Customized Tours again.

We weren’t able to see... read more Hurricane Ridge due to snow so we had extra time elsewhere including a stop at a Creamery with homemade ice cream.
