I would definitely tell everyone to see Mt. Rainer. It was majestic to say the least! You have to see it on a clear day which is not always the... read more case in Seattle.

  Lucas was our tour guide and he was amazing. He was on time and everything ran so smoothly. I got to go on a hike and take in... read more some waterfalls. I highly suggest this tour.

  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!!

  Harry was great and we felt safer being in his capable hands. Great views and hikes. Great tour with combined hiking and unbelievable sights. Thank you!

  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.

  If you enjoy nature you will enjoy this trip. Amazing guide who takes you to 3 different ecosystems. The mountains with a small hike with some elevation, the beach, and... read more finally a trek through a forest to see a waterfall. The total amount of hiking is roughly 7 miles through the day split among the 3 main stops giving a natural break in between. It will give you a great understanding of how beautiful the area is and make you wish you had more time here. The guide is very personable, knowledgeable, and has great energy.

Would highly recommend.

  From the moment Corey picked us up at our hotel, I knew it was going to be a good time. He was very personable, humorous and full of information.... read more We stopped at a large grocery store to pick up food and drinks for the day, and off we were on the way! He stopped at several points of interest (scenic views, waterfalls) on the way and they all produced awesome pictures! Rainier was cooperating nicely with the weather, as we got to see the mountain all day, without a single cloud around it! At Paradise, I got to drink a Rainier beer on Mt. Rainier. There are several short hikes that can be taken which are all very scenic. All in all, I would do it again!

  Mt. Rainier was amazing today! We got to snowshoe in over a foot of snow, try a snow mix, and make many stops for waterfalls and comfort! The views were... read more spectacular and company very pleasant! Cory was great!

  Great day trip to see Mount Rainier and surrounding landscapes on 24 August 2022. Our guide was excellent and kept us entertained with facts about the places we were passing... read more all the way from Seattle to Mount Rainier itself. The main stop at Paradise gives you enough time to take a short hike further up the mountain (but keep an eye on the time and your route back!) with plenty of other short stops to see the surrounding countryside and waterfalls. Great way to see the mountain without the hassle of driving and a nice sized tour group (around 20) ensured a personalised experience. Highly recommended!

  Took a tour to Olympic National Park with Cory and it was great! He was knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. Great tour!

  It was a cold cloudy day with drizzles in the park. Still a good tour for first timers and it wasn't crowded. Our tour guide, John, was very knowledgeable.

  Very mixed experience with the 2 tours I booked. Yesterday, our British guide to the wineries (actually a wine tasting,very expensive and not extraordinay wines for me... but I'm French...)... read more did not teach us a lot on wine or the region, and I did not really appreciate his insistance on the tip topic, he spent more than 10 minutes talking about it, and even gave us twice his Venmo number to tip him if we did not have cash (which I found totally unprofessional). On the other hand, today's experience with Cory at Mount Rainier was incredible : funny, a lot of interesting facts, trying to please everyone with unplanned stops for ice cream e.g., and no word about the tip that he deserved much more than his colleague...

  Cory is a great guide. Part of normal route was shut down due to snow, but Cory improvised very well. We had a great time!

Expect it to be... read more a long day, and take advantage of opportunities to buy food and visit restrooms when you can, but this is a great trip for getting out of the city and seeing nature for a full day.

He did his best to get us a view of Mt Rainier considering the overcast day, and seeing the waterfalls, rivers, and hearing the history of not only the park but of the towns along the way was totally worth it. Thanks Lucas!

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!

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!

We bought way too much wine, saw beautiful views, and walked away with some great memories.

  This tour was awesome!!! Lucas was our guide and he was so knowledgeable about the area and kept my friend & I laughing the whole trip. We definitely enjoyed this... read more tour. We were very lucky with good weather especially in Nov. Even though we wore tennis shoes and there was snow we were able to make it up the more difficult trail. Ended up having to use snow shoes that Lucas provided us with to come back down since we were starting to slip. He let us stop for snacks and plenty of bathroom breaks. At the place we stopped there was more snow gear to buy if you forgot anything last minute. It was hot once you got up higher but overall cold so definitely wear the right gear especially during this time of the year. Great tour would recommend to anyone!
