By far the best tours in Seattle. Rainier is beautiful and the tour gets you pretty up close to it. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, very friendly, and funny. I... read more did the tour by myself and didn't feel alone at all. I would do this again and highly recommend to others looking to experience the beauty of Rainier.

  This was a fantastic tour with our highly knowledgeable tour guide James. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Seattle.

  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! He knows the area and park so well, depending on the weather or the group he’ll make stops that give you the best bang for your buck!

  The driver trivia and the wineries. It was a beautiful van and alot of fun. Wineries were very good. Loved it!

  My husband and I had the best time. We met people from Maryland, California, Mississippi, Miami and some fellow Texans. Not only were the group of people we met on... read more the tour wonderful and friendly, but our fabulous driver/tour guide was exceptional. Cory was funny, knowledgeable and all around delightful to hangout with for the day.
Suggestions: definitely layer clothes, wear long pants and hiking boots .
Snowshoes optional.

  Awesome customer service! - It was amazing. Lap so fun. I’d say it’s more of a city tour/suburb tour than wine tour, but totally worth it. You get to see a lot of the... read more city and the outskirts. The wineries were great and our tour guide was amazing. He went above and beyond with customer service. Highly recommend.

  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.

  Cory is our guide and he is extremely knowledgeable and nice. I had a wonderful time and highly recommend this trip with Customized Tours. Thank you very much Cory for... read more arranging the beautiful weather as well.

  Trip offered several breathtaking views. Tour guide was entertaining, informative, and great company. Definitely recommend for anyone trying to take a full day trip.

  Despite how short the tour was due to weather conditions, Lucas was an amazing tour guide. Definitely come back when weather conditions are better.

  If you are the traveler who wants to be driven to the highlights of Olympic without much explanation of said place then this is great for you. Short, easy hikes... read more to see water falls and mountains that are quite beautiful.

  Mt Rainier was unfortunately closed due to mudslide during our visit. So the operator very promptly let us know and offered us the option to refund or go on an... read more alternative tour. As the operator did preface, they don't do Olympic during the winter, so this was a trial run. Hence I think the itinerary certainly hasn't been refined well enough ; this tour involves a ferry ride, and due to timing we had to wait 45 minutes or so because we just missed the previous ferry. After we got to the park, we ended up only going to 2 spots due to distance and time, which is certainly less than what we were initially told.

Overall I think our tour guide was great, friendly and helpful ; and the tour company did what they could. Just slightly disappointing that Mt Rainier was closed and we weren't able to get on the original itinerary.

  Mark is an excellent guide and a lot of fun. The participation in his trivia games made everyone comfortable & friendly in no time. The choice of winery... read more was perfect. Tours will be fun if guides can be like Mark! What a wonderful ending tour to our weeklong vacation.

  Our guide, Joe, was extremely knowledgeable about things making it fun and a learning experience.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but Joe makes a point to ensure he has done his homework and is able to speak to and about all of the surroundings.

Snowshoeing was incredible. He took in to consideration rest & food stops along the way. He also stopped at famous viewing and photo ops along the way.
Thanks Joh. Got the great experience !!!

  An absolute great experience to see some of the best nature in the world. We experienced many stops and were given quite a bit of information from our tour guide... read more Cory. The best was heading up to Paradise at 5400’ up to walk part of the mountain. Our 19 and 16 year old had an absolute blast up there as did the rest of our group.

  We were lucky as the weather was perfectly clear so the views of Mt Rainier were spectacular. Tour guide/driver, Cory, was knowledgeable with just the right amount of humor.

  The tour was awesome and beautiful. James is the best tour guide and very informative. 10/10 recommend!

  The Mt. Rainier Day Tour was the highlight of my trip to Seattle! Jasper was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide who picked out many enjoyable stops along the way.... read more The waterfall stops and hiking trails were great. In particular, I loved a surprise stop at Carter Falls. I'll be recommending this tour to friends and hope to do it again myself in the future!

  Mark was our driver & he was absolutely fantastic! My sister and I got confused on the pick up time from the falls & he waited for us. He... read more was very nice about us being late. Really appreciated that. Would highly recommend this tour to visitors and locals!

  Our first trip to Mt Ranier and it was beautiful. We were picked up at our hotel on time by Cory and he was an excellent guide for the day.... read more It started out very rainy but then became just overcast. He had interesting commentary along the ride to the national park, with a good stop to buy lunch (as the lodge might not have much selection). Once we arrived at the national park, we had several stops at lovely waterfalls and other sites. The sun broke out when we got to Paradise! The mountain was out in all her glory. We had plenty of time at each stop and time for hike at Paradise if desired.
Overall great trip and enjoyed having Cory as our driver/guide.

  We had a fabulous day with Mark as our guide on the Seattle tour! He was entertaining and informative and made the whole experience a pleasure. The stop at Goose... read more Ridge tasting room was fabulous. We loved having Kevin sit right down with us and talk about each of the wines. Then we went to Chateau St. Michelle, and this is where the rating dropped from a 5 star down to a 4. If I was rating just the experience at that winery it would have only been a 1 star. After the close personal experience at Goose Ridge this next winery was quite a disappointment. Our tastings were plopped in front of us and the hostess talked so fast about all 4 wines that by the time she was done we couldn't remember anything she said about the first wine. The price was really high and was not waived with a purchase (we are from California wine country and never pay for a tasting if we are purchasing wine). Chateau St. Michelle was quite a disappointment. I really recommend that Customized Tours find a different winery!

  Cory was a great tour guide. He put us all at ease and was a fountain of information. We had a fantastic day, saw many parts of the national park,... read more met great people on our tour and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Pick up at our hotel was on time and we were dropped off at the hotel too. That’s a plus! Definitely recommend this tour.

  Me & my 8 year old son had a great trip. About 3 miles of hiking & great sites. A long day but worth it!

  Awesome trip, awesome tour guide! Made for an amazing day! Cory was our tour guide, he was stellar. He was very knowledgeable about the area and had some... read more really cool insight. He really made the experience great. Despite the weather not being stellar, it was still a phenomenal experience! I’d definitely book with them again!

  James was so knowledgeable and fun! The sights were gorgeous and it goes for a long time so you definitely get your money’s worth!

  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

  Priceless - Great day hiking up with snow shoes, seeing Mt Rainer’s peak poking through the clouds, and standing next to a 300’ Douglas fur that is approx. 800 years old! Priceless!

  We booked the Mount Rainier day tour and Joe was our tour guide and driver. We had the most amazing time on this tour with Joe, he gave great... read more information throughout the trip and had funny stories to tell along the way. Our views and scenery were breathtaking, Joe pointed out different things to look at while we were driving through the park and stopped at different areas so we could take picture and site see. This trip was amazing and Joe made it fun and exciting!!

  Our guide Cory was wonderful, gave great insights into the area and was an overall joy to be around.

However, we wish that there was a bit more... read more insight about lunch - we were unsure of when and where to eat (if we should eat in the car or if there were picnic tables once we reached paradise). We chose to eat once we reached paradise, however, this limited our time in the area. We wished we had more time to explore and hike further but were nervous about missing the bus.

We also wish there was more dedicated time to do a short 1-mile hike (for those a bit more into nature). There seemed to be a beautiful trail near longmire that would have been nice. Overall, this was a beautiful way to briefly see the mountain, but limited in hiking. The longest 'hike' we did was 1/4 mile, and easily walked <2k steps with the group. We had a variety of ages hike our group.

As a result, this tour has given us inspiration to return and do the longer loops.

  Lucas our tour guide was AMAZING!!! He was a plethora of information, he really knew what he was talking about and really showed joy in what he is/was doing...I would... read more recommend him to anyone and everyone.

  Great overview of the city if you are only there for a day
Joe was knowledgeable and a skillful driver

  My boyfriend and I booked took this tour on a Friday. The pickup was easy and convenient and the company was communicative about the timing. Lucas was our tour guide/driver... read more and did a great job! He made sure to check in with everyone often in regards to restroom needs, food, type of activities. He was also super knowledgeable of the different areas of the park and really helped in adjusting our tour based on weather and park road closures. 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!
