Can’t say enough good things about this tour, Lucas was awesome, he was prepared for absolutely everything, he’s a master of spotting mountain beavers too! neat creatures btw...All in all... read more great day, great recommendations, I’ll be back in the summer

  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.

  We were so afraid our Mt. Rainier tour would be rained out, and are extremely happy that it wasn't. We saw such beautiful views including some great ones of... read more Mt. Rainier, several waterfalls, gigantic hills made of snow, and forests with tall, tall trees. My husband especially liked the hike around to the frozen lake!

Cory and Joel were perfect guides and came prepared with snowshoes and poles that made exploring on foot safer and easier. I wasn't able to do as much hiking and walking as the others on our tour and Cory was nice enough to drive me around to see a waterfall while Joel took the others on a hike. Thanks, Cory and Joel! You made our last day exploring Seattle the best!

  This tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Frankie was so informative and friendly. Would highly recommend seeing how these incredible machines are manufactured. Only downside is not able to take... read more photos but can understand why.

  To be clear, my PNW experience is limited to Washington State. However, from what I have seen of it and what I experienced on this tour, the best of it... read more is there, at Mount Rainier. The tour was efficient and comprehensive, with hotel pickup in central Seattle, a stop at a grocery store for preparations, stops at different attractions (visitor's center, waterfalls, etc.), hiking weather permitting, a stop at a local cafe/restaurant for pie, and dropoff.

Clean, well supplied van with reasonable COVID-19 cleaning protocols in place, and local, knowledgeable guide.

  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!

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

  Had a great time on this tour! Would definitely recommend for anyone interested. Loved the tour guides Joel and Lucas. Very informative and friendly!

  This was a new tour for this company. They got so many great reviews on their other tours, I decided to give it a shot. I was worried that I... read more might have wasted my money, especially since the road to hurricane ridge was closed, and it was kind of a wet day. I’m so glad I went, and was pleasantly surprised. Joel had obviously done his homework on the history, folklore, legends, and geology of the park, in addition to just knowing the best places to go, when the most popular stops were closed due to severe weather. Getting picked up from my hotel was nice, the 40 minute ferry ride was fun, and the actual tour was beautiful. There are so many impressive waterfalls, the forests are almost fluorescent with moss, and the diversity of mountains, crystal clear lakes, and tide pools, seem almost impossible to cram all into one day, but this tour has it all.
This wasn’t a tour for folks who can’t walk well. We must have walked 5 miles throughout the day, but I loved it, and recommend it to anyone who wants to get out and see nature.

  I am SO glad I was able to take this tour! And very grateful as this was definitely the highlight of my trip. Thank you to Desiree for her sweet... read more customer service and for Mark for being an awesome funny and informative tour guide! HIGHLY RECOMMEND to everyone! I wouldn't have been able to see all these sites on my own.

  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.

  I was lucky enough to have the business owner Joel take on us on our Olympic National Park tour. He was knowledgeable about all the areas we visited, made our... read more group feel welcomed, and he was very kind and funny. In addition, this tour will have a lot of driving involved and Joel did a wonderful job keeping us safe and engaged in conversation during the drive time. Forewarning - it will be a super long day but worth it. I was quite disappointed our group was not able to see Hurricane Bridge due to it being so foggy (gloomy and rainy weather forecasted for that day) however Joel took us to another hiking area near Crescent Lake with a gorgeous waterfall. I do recommend those who are visiting Seattle to take one day of your time to go on this tour. Beautiful beautiful nature... *chefs kiss*

  This is a six hour tour.
You get picked- up by a white tour bus. Driven to 1st winery, then to second, Falls and Chocolate Factory. Note that wineries... read more visited can change. Goose ridge winery was the better of the two because it was a real wine tasting with a pro guiding the tastings. The second was very informal and more for lunch. Driver explained sites and answered questions. Also note that there are additional costs: actual tastings, lunch and any extra purchases. Be prepared to spend 50.00 to 100.00 dollars more. Falls were nice and chocolate factory was interesting and we bought really good chocolate.

  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.

  This was a nice tour! Cory was knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. The falls are spectacular, the wine tastings were great and the food was delicious!

  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.

  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.

  I wish I could find a single word to describe this experience but I cannot. This was beyond what I prayed for with my husband! We traveled from Texas... read more in hopes of having a day filled with beautiful scenery and great surprises and we were blessed with that and more! Not only was our trip not cancelled, it was very intimate! Lucas was the best tour guide ever! He was personable, welcoming, interactive, funny and professional! My husband turned 40 and Lucas and Annie (other tourist) made this day happen for him! Although the rain was persistent, Lucas was determined to show us beautiful places and moments! From waterfalls to aged trees, to the best blackberry pie ever! Thank you for such an awesome experience! We will definitely be back when the weather is better to take the hike to the top!

  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.

  Mark was a fantastic driver and host. He has a great knowledge of Seattle is quite funny.

  The trip was phenomenal! Our tour guide was Lucas. He knows the area, mountain and any detail you ask him! Don’t miss this trip!!

  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.

  For the weather, the people, and photography practice it is perfect. My time with Customized Tours guiding an easy getaway was simple. Thanks!

  This tour was so much fun! Enjoyed all the sights. Plenty of bathroom breaks and stops for food along the way. You will not regret this tour. Dress and plan... read more accordingly.

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

  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!

  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.

  The best i can not express my feelings when i went there. It was a first time to visit and its paradise the greens and the view of the snowy... read more mountains. Every place in the mounting has there own atmosphere. The best tour ever.

  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.
