  Capt. Steve is the best tour guide I've experienced and I've had many guides. He knows everything about Seattle and enthusiastically showed us as much as he could in... read more five action packed hours. He organized the tour around a theme of Rock and Popular Music stars who lived and recorded in Seattle. It was a lovely day and I got a real feel for the city which was exactly what I wanted. Capt.

  Captain Steve was a great, entertaining, and knowledgeable guide.
He extended the tour to about 5 hrs, and we saw and learned many historical fun facts and stories... read more including musical songs that were connected to them.

Thanks, Steve

  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.

  We loved all of the activities of the day! Joel was an awesome tour guide!! I highly recommend this tour - you see everything from mountains with snow to... read more tiny crabs in tidal pools. It's a long day - 13.5 hours - but well worth the time and money. You'll be sitting on the bus alot but we still got about 17,000 steps also. You don't have to get that many steps if you don't want to.

  This was an AMAZING experience. It definitely challenged southern woman in the snow, but I can absolutely say that this experience left me breathless. I would recommend everyone to this... read more tour. Our guide was the manager of the business and he left absolutely nothing out. Enjoyed his presence and how attentive and kind he was. I can’t wait to go back!

  The driver was attentive and knowledgeable about the area. The stops were excellent! The ride was comfortable. We enjoyed the outing.

  Everything about our day trip to Mt. Rainier was wonderful. Easy booking, convenient pick up at our hotel, comfortable transportation, and plentiful snacks, food, and beverages...ALL part of the... read more package. Our guide for the day, Sean, was fantastic. He was friendly, encouraging, and a very safe driver. He was so knowledgable about National Park details and I found his information both interesting and educational. Sean helped us to experience Mt.Rainier in the snow-something we would never do on our own. It was a wonderful time making memories and I will definitely book another trip with Evergreen. Thanks again to Sean-tour guide extraordinaire!

  We had an unforgettable day during our tour with Joel. It's clear he has a very comprehensive knowledge of the national park and the best way to optimize the day... read more based on weather, skill level of the group, and crowdedness of the park. He knew the best photo ops and helped us capture the beauty of our visit. A great mix of group stops and time to explore on our own. At 6-months pregnant, the hikes were enjoyable, but we were definitely tired by the end of the day! If you're into nature, walking around, and seeing the beauty of a national park, definitely book this!!

  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.

  We took the four-hour tour of Seattle to celebrate our fortieth anniversary. Our tour guide/driver was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the places we visited, Every place... read more we stopped by, he provided us with an informative, yet entertaining description. The most interesting place we visited during this trip was the Ballard Locks which is a kind of elevator for boats to pass from Puget Sound(sea) to Lake Union. Our guide drove us for clam-chowder lunch at the very busy Pike Place Market. I will not hesitate in recommending this tour for every visitor to Seattle.

  Capt Steve gave us a super fun day of learning all about the city and its history. Even with Covid closures, he made this tour one of our favorites in... read more all of our travels. Definitely recommend and will book with customized tours again.

  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!

  We had an amazing experience on this 12hr tour that took us to three different stops each with its own unique ecosystem. Olympic National Park is truly a place like... read more no other. Our guide John was great informative, punctual, and polite. The tour involved about 4 miles of moderate walking broken up over the three stops. The ferry ride back to Seattle offered an awesome view of the city at night. We highly recommend this tour it was everything we were looking for.

  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!!

  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.

  This was the BEST experience. Joel is such a knowledgeable fun tour guide(and GREAT photographer!) who really made this tour a memory I won’t forget! I was celebrating my birthday,... read more he supplied brownies and had the group sing to me with the mountain behind us it was truly special. Snow shoeing was new to me and a tad scary at times but he assisted us all and made sure we saw incredible sites. 10/10 experience a MUST do!!

  Capt Steve gave an amazing tour. I really feel that I got to learn a lot about Seattle and experience the city. This was a great tour!

  Great experience from the start with a funny, informative and knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed meeting née people and tasting the wines. The waterfall and the chocolate factory also good!

  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.

  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.

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

  Joel was an excellent tour guide. He is very thorough and knowledgeable of the area. He provides a very thoughtful and friendly experience. My husband and I were on our... read more honeymoon, and he helped the celebration by providing us with a sweet treat. This tour is a must!

  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.

  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.

  Today March 8th, my wife and I took the Mt. Rainier Day Tour. Lucas was fantastic, such a friendly, fun and enthusiastic guide, he made the full experience fantastic.... read more We always found the best view sports for pictures, the hiking was amazing with breathtaking views, we spotted wild life and even enjoyed a delicious blueberry pie on our way back to the hotel.

  very entertaining and knowlegeable tour guide
the mt raimier park is beyond my expectations and would certainly go back

  Lucas was a great guide who took us to amazing spots and was very relaxed and personable. Would definitely recommend to anyone unsure about going on their own.

  We got to see the major sites of Seattle, with frequent stops at places of interest. Our Guide included some of the music and stories about music celebrities from Seattle... read more into the tour. It was a very fun and informative tour.

  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.

  Loved Mt Rainier! We had many stops at great places with a chance to hike a few different trails, my son and I chose a more challenging hike with... read more melting snow up to a great view of Rainier. Lucas was a wonderful guide with lots of knowledge. Really wonderful day with something for everyone. Highly recommend

  I had a great tour with Lucas. He was very friendly, a local who is very knowledgeable about the area, and had really great local stories to tell. I definitely... read more recommend this tour!

  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!

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

  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!

  What a great tour! Our guide Lucas was super knowledgeable of the area and provided a ton of information and a great balance with jokes and humor to keep it... read more fun throughout the day. I appreciate Lucas taking the weather and groups interests into account and truly customizes the tour to make it the best experience possible!

  Loved our tour with John! He was a wonderful guide, always on time, and gave us plenty of bathroom and snack breaks. Beautiful tour of waterfalls, the mountains and the... read more lakes.

  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.

  The guide Lucas was very knowledgeable and shared great fun information during the tour. The bus was good and clean.

  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!
