Don was a great tour guide! Given the unforeseen circumstances of the weather and fog limiting some views of the mountain, I still enjoyed the overall tour and how positive... read more Don was throughout the trip. I was able to see spectacular views of the waterfalls and learned a lot about Mt. Rainier. I even purchased a National Park Passport which I am excited for!

  Great weather, fantastic landscapes.
Lucas was very friendly and full of knowledge.
Amazing day trip

  James was great - great pace, views, time to hike and see many amazing sites throughout the park! Would love to go again

  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?

  This was definitely a 5 out of 5. Our tour director John was hospitable and shared more knowledge of the area than one would expect. We had a perfect day... read more ! Sun shining and temp of 60.

They very kindly allowed us to fill two seats on the next day’s tour. Next morning a five minute stroll had us at the pick up / drop off point and on time along came John our Tour Guide and Bus Driver.
The rest of the day was filled with interesting facts, figures, amazing sights and ample chances to explore the different locations we stopped at as well as take nourishment. Oh the photos we took and amazing as they were they really didn’t do the Mountain or scenery, full justice. You have to see it to believe it.
Mount Rainier is visible from Seattle which tells us that it has Mass but when you find yourself below it the experience is Humbling to say the very least.
As an Active Volcano which last erupted some 5,000 years ago and is expected to do so again I’m pleased to say I have had the chance to see it in it’s dormant phase.
Do yourself a huge favour and if your going to Seattle in Washington State, get in touch with Tours North West and ask to be seated on John’s Bus - you won’t regret it!
This was indeed money well spent and I would do this tour again, in a heart beat.
Thank you for your time, make up you own mind, Stay Safe and Happy.

Steve told many stories and incorporated music in his recitations throughout the day. We felt fortunate to leave the bus at the end of our tour knowing that we had a good knowledge of the city. Our day couldn't have been any better and we highly recommend the company and Steve.

After he had gone on for about 20 minutes, I asked him to please stop and he did. It was incredibly scary to have someone at the wheel taking full advantage of his captive audience to push his own fringe beliefs. (To be clear, no one had asked about this or brought the topic up in any way. Most people were trying to sleep after a long day.) I signed up and paid good money to learn about Mt. Rainier, not what the guide thinks about Israel, the U.S. military, and the Mossad. Truly frightening and felt unsafe.

Thank you Lucas for a memorable trip!

  We had the best experience on our tour yesterday! Lucas was awesome, fun and informative. Really laid back tour and we saw many great sights. Highly recommended.
