I took my son to Seattle to celebrate his 14th birthday and decided to book a tour to Mt Rainier. I'm so glad I did, my son loved it! Our... read more tour guide Joel was great, even bought cupcakes to celebrate my son's bday. Mt Rainier is beautiful and having a tour guide makes it better because he knew exactly where to go for breath taking views. Snow gear was provided for the hike which was a huge plus. Overall it was a great experience and will definitely go back in the summer time.

  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". I'm sure that if I lived in Seattle we'd be friends sharing music interests and history. Kudos to Captain Steve...his personnel history added to the enjoyment of our tour as well. Thank you Captain for sharing.

  My husband and I were visiting Seattle for the first time and decided to do this Trip to Mt Rainier. From the moment we were picked up at the hotel... read more it started off great and ended great. Our tour guide Lucas was friendly, informative and entertaining and he did whatever he could to make our trip/tour an unforgettable one. We hiked to so many scenic vistas, but really the entire hike was breathtaking. Despite some mentioned areas in the tour being inaccessible due to the weather conditions, Lucas did his best and succeeded. He had great information on the local wildlife and one of the most interesting ones was about the giant land beavers. We coincidentally were on tour with another family that was from San Antonio Texas like us and that just made it even better. Overall we would 100% recommend this trip and highly highly, highly recommend you request Lucas. My husband and I want to come back in the summer and for sure we will be requesting Lucas if we do. This trip is one of our most memorable ones.

  The tour was absolutely amazing Captain Steve was very friendly informative and shared a lot of stories and information about Seattle. It was my wife and i first visit to... read more the emerald city and it was a enjoyable experience.

  The tour bus picked us up from our downtown Seattle hotel on time. Captain Steve was fun, corny, and goofy. He showed us all of the great city sites. Hope... read more to go back once COVID is over to visit the places that were closed.

  Lucas was wonderful; amazing Seattle facts and information about the state throughout the trip! Beautiful sights, highly recommend!

  Wow, what a day! I wasn’t sure what to expect with it being pretty cold and wet, but this tour was a blast. It had everything, beautiful lakes, waterfalls, beautiful... read more lush forest, ocean beaches, hiking (be prepared to do a fair bit, at least 5 or 6 miles). Cresent Lake is breathtaking and Tongue point was a beautiful surprise at low tide with all the tide pools. Joel did an excellent job of showing us all the diverse landscape and some super cool hidden gems. There were even a few things we missed due to road closures so I will definitely be going back on another tour when the weather warms up. This place is truly spectacular and I couldn’t have asked for a more friendlier and knowledgeable guide.

  The tour itself was pretty great. Our tour guide was awesome and so knowledgeable. It was a great time and I feel like we got to see so many things!... read more My only recommendation would be to expand the
pick up options to accommodate Airbnb or guests who stay with family better. If you are planning to get picked up from a park and ride, avoid Kent Park and Ride at all costs. We parked our rental at the Kent Park and Ride and returned to have found car parts stolen from our car with our car unable to even be driven. Maybe better pick up options would avoid this in the future?

  My family and I booked this Day Trip and everyone enjoyed it. Such beautiful landscape. John who was our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the park, and made sure... read more we saw the best spots at the right time. Unforgettable experience.

  If you’re debating, this guided tour is so worth it. I am not an experienced hiker but I wanted the opportunity to hike. Joel took us up.... read more It’s small groups now due to COVID-19 precautions. I learned that this is a family owned and operated business and it felt like my friend picked me up to show me around the home he loves. Mt. Rainier is unbelievably huge. I would have missed so much if I had tried to do it on my own.

  Totally recommended!! we loved the tour and the experience! The places and the information provided were wonderful! We loved Capitan Steve! he was our guide and he did an excellent... read more job! This is something you have to do when going to Seattle!

  The tour guide was very knowledgeable. We were lucky it was a clear day and we were able to view mount rainier for most of the drive there. On the... read more way there and back you stop at a grocery store for a bathroom break, drinks and snacks. It also has a Starbucks inside. Also on the way there and back you stop At a scenic viewpoint with Mount rainier in the background for pictures. We hiked down to a waterfall, we made it up to the visitor center a little over 5000 feet, and we were able to see and play with a lot of snow. The company also provide snow chains for your shoes, gloves, and other accessories if needed. Make sure to wear her snow shoes and warm clothes including gloves you will have a hard time if you are wearing tennis shoes. The tour guide even went above and beyond returning my daughters camera the next morning to our hotel that she left on the bus. My daughter is 10 and she did very well on this tour. It is a long day of travel but the views and seeing Mount Rainier are worth it. They are honest people and I would definitely recommend this tour.

  We had so much fun our winery and waterfalls tour! On an off season day with only the 2 of us on the tour, I was surprised Customized Tours didn’t... read more cancel! 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.

  Our guide was great and very knowledgeable of the area, made us feel comfortable, stopped at every stop an ample amount of time for us to explore. We were lucky... read more to see the mountain as the clouds cleared unexpectedly and our guide quickly altered plans to visit all the great viewpoints to see the mountain before the clouds set-in again. Provided all the gear needed for hiking in the snow. Overall it was an amazing experience.

  Our guide Shannon arrived on time and immediately it became obvious she likes her job. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. She made sure to accommodate us to assure an... read more excellent experience. The views of Mt. Rainier were spectacular from multiple locations, the stops along the way gave us wonderful views of the mountains and forests and the multiple spectacular water falls. All-in-all a great day! Thanks Shannon!

  Mark, our tour guide, was really nice, funny, and knowledgeable about Seattle. He led us to some great wineries and Snoqualmie falls as well as the chocolate factory. He even... read more asked us where we would like to be dropped off! Great tour!!!

  My friend and I decided to take this tour last minute and we are so glad that we did! Our tour guide, John, is so knowledgeable about the mountain, trails,... read more etc. He is very friendly and welcomes any questions that guests may have. We were lucky enough to visit on a clear day with little to no wind so that made for awesome pictures!

Pro tip: you may have the option to eat your lunch in the van or wait until later in the tour to sit down and eat somewhere. If you want to make the most out of your time during the tour, definitely eat in the van and use your free time to hike around.

  Mist came up, but feelings was fantastical anyway. Mist in the hills is a common phenomenon but I had it for the first time. I've been to this place several... read more times, every time is different, but always beautiful!

I wouldn't have been able to see all these sites on my own.

  Lucas was a great tour guide. Made my visit Seattle so much better. Although our original plans were a bit derailed because Paradise Summit was closed due to a search... read more for a missing person, Lucas identified a great alternative taking us on a 10 mi hike to beautiful Lake George.

I def recommend this tour.

  Our timing wasn’t great but we made the best of our time in Seattle during a very foggy and smoky few days. We had no previously scheduled plans so at... read more 7am on Saturday I called this tour company to see if they had anything available that day. Thanks to LaToya, two and a half hours later we met our city tour guide Captain Steve. There were only five of us on the tour due to the virus, and yet Steve pulled out all the stops to ensure we experienced as much as possible. He really knows a great deal of the history of Seattle, and his stories and music made our tour very worthwhile. Some typical stops were closed but Steve found alternative places to visit. Our tour actually lasted five hours—we totally got our money’s worth!! Thanks to LaToya and Captain Steve for making our first day in Seattle a great success!!

  Guide was awesome! He knew the area well along with the history! He was very courteous and nice and it added to an amazing trip! Will definitely book again next... read more time I'm back!

  Even though we took this trip during COVID, I had a great time! Our bus was below capacity with only 9 people to keep social distancing. They picked... read more us up at our hotel downtown and the small group made it feel personalized, intimate, and made for more time at the various locations.

Lucas was our guide and he was so awesome, friendly, and down to earth, providing knowledge and tidbits of the areas we travelled to and giving us options for what we wanted to do.

There was plenty of time for us to go hiking and do our own thing. I'm so glad I did it and definitely recommend it.

  I loved this tour! Captain Steve was very knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable by engaging us with trivia and songs. I totally will take this trip again

  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!

  Lucas was our tour guide, we only had a small group of 5 but I think that made it so much better, rather than a large group. He was super... read more friendly and funny and gave a lot of good tips and suggestions.

The weather was not great, it was pretty snowy and it even started to become a blizzard towards the end but that didn’t ruin our experience at all. He took us snowshoeing down to Narada Falls and we went sledding in Paradise. Overall amazing experience and I would love to come back during the warmer months and do this trip again

  Had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour! Each place we stopped at was gorgeous with the snow and we were given great facts and history about the area. Make... read more sure you dress warm it gets pretty cold at the top! We highly recommend the tour to anyone who likes the outdoors!

  Captain Steve was great. Very accommodating. He’s been living in Seattle for decades, so he knows his stuff. We got to do a few extra things given the small crowd... read more traffic due to covid. It felt like a food tour since we had so many opportunities to stop and eat. Great tour, with awesome views of the city from several angles, and interesting stories.

  Our tour with Captain Steve was packed with information and great stops! Try to get this tour in within a day or two of your arrival. You'll likely add more... read more places to visit to your itinerary after going on this tour. This tour is a great value because you see and learn so much---worth it! Good driving and the ride was comfortable. Sufficient time at each stop. Overall an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Good for all travelers, singles, couples, families--doesn't matter. Even some of the stops I didn't think I'd be interested in, I learned something new. Was able to hear Captain Steve the entire time. It's the worst going on a tour when they have terrible equipment.

  This is the perfect place to get away from man’s created world...summer spring winter or fall enjoy all of the wonder of nature. A trip to Seattle would not... read more be complete without a trip to Mount Rainier.

  First I would like to say that Mark, our driver and tour guide was the nicest, funniest man and one of the reasons we had such an amazing time on... read more this tour. We ended up going with another couple so 4 people in total which allowed some flexibility by fitting in a couple extra stops. First we went to Kerry park due to extra time, and it was stunning. Next we headed to the wineries which were amazing and came home with 4 bottles (whoops). There was food at one of the wineries which was super convenient. We brought a sandwich just in case but the food we had was excellent we didn’t end up eating the sandwhich. We then went to the waterfall which we were able to enjoy stunning views of the Snoqualmie falls. Lastly we ended at the chocolate factor where (you guessed it) we purchased an overload of handcrafted chocolate and received a tour of the small chocolate making area and met the owner, they also gave us a free treat! The experience was overall 100% worth the money and recommended to anyone coming to Seattle to learn more about the city, it’s wine country and chocolatiers in the area. Ask for mark!!! Best tour guide ever.

  The wine and waterfalls tour was excellent! Our driver, Woody, was so informative and knowledgeable about Seattle and all the areas the tour included. He followed all safety protocols and... read more was a delight to listen to for the day. I definitely recommend the tour and hope to take other visitors on the tour when they come to visit Seattle. Thank you for such a great time!

  We absolutely loved our tour of Mount Rainier and this tour was perfect! Our guide Lucas was so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating and we really appreciated him! Because our tour... read more was just our group and one other lovely lady, Lucas was able to be really flexible with us and get us around to various points in the park! We saw so much! Perhaps I hadn't read the tour descriptions well enough, but we were surprised by the amount of hiking we did, but we enjoyed it! This isn't just a hop on hop off bus tour--we actually hiked to a couple of waterfalls, etc. We also enjoyed the hour or so we had on our own up at Sunrise to visit the gift shop, talk with the rangers and hike a couple of short trails (in the rain!).

If you're in the Seattle area and want to visit Mt. Rainier, I'd highly recommend booking this tour!

  Visited 2 wineries and Boehm's Chocolate as well as Snoqualamie Falls. Mark our driver was great. Very small group.

  Joel was amazing i really loved this group tour despite wildfire smoke. Mt rainier was beautiful we saw marmots

  This was a great tour of the city. Marc was our guide and he was a wealth of historical information and very knowledgeable about Seattle. He made the... read more tour fun with trivia questions we tried to answer. There were many opportunities for pictures. We saw wildlife and so many sites, I'd recommend you booking this tour and definitely ask for Marc. He was helpful, personable, wore a mask, practiced social distancing and kept us laughing.

  Disappointed with the tour overall. Having used other tour operators, was disappointed with the level of service. Overpriced and not worth it
