Wonderful no-fuss way to experience Mt. Rainier. Our tour guide John was fantastic - great story-teller and very knowledgeable. We picked this tour because of the flexibility in what to... read more hike and see - John told us where to go and what we could do at each stop but we had the final say on when to eat, how far to go, etc. The stop at the grocery store was a great way to pick up food for the day - especially for us staying in a hotel and not having the ability to pack our own lunch. The hotel pick-up was easy and the bus was clean and comfortable (as much as a bus can be!). Snowshoeing up to the "dance floor" with John was truly magical and the views are a must see. Thanks to John - don't hesitate to book!

  I am SO glad I was able to take this tour! And very grateful as this was definitely the highlight of my trip.

  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.

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

  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*

  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 a great first day activity and I recommend doing it both if you will only be here for a day or if you plan to stay longer as it will give you a great idea about areas of the city you want to explore further.
My only recommendation would have been to have better planned break and lunch stops.
Everyone including guide wore masks. Plenty of hand sanitizer and wipes available during trip.

  Falls were breathtaking! Mark tour guide through Viator was great! Thank you for making it memorable

  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.

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

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.

  Great way to get history of the area. We saw areas we would never find on our own. Great presentation of the Japanese influence in the development of the area.... read more Panama Hotel was a gem to see.

  Visited 2 wineries and Boehm's Chocolate as well as Snoqualamie Falls. Mark our driver was great. Very small group.

  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.

I had to make a last minute change to my reservation and Desiree was a superstar and so friendly in our communications.

The food at Maryhill was delicious and the falls were stunning. Mark was entertaining and patient with all guests. Everything about this tour was worth it. Definitely a great tour, especially if you’re looking for a little reprieve from the city.

  My husband booked this excursion as part of our Spring Break activities. Lucas was a great tour guide. The trip was well organized but flexible. He is very knowledgeable about... read more the area, shares lots of fun facts and had a quirky sense of humor. My only recommendation... if Lucas offers snow shoes, take him up on the offer! Although Lucas thought the trail may be packed down, it wasn’t, which made hiking in powder snow much more challenging. Needless to say, I chose to turn around after 1/2 mile while my husband forged ahead with Lucas. If we come back to Seattle, I will definitely be booking another trip but hoping that will be in the summer to see the wild flowers and pick berries. Thanks for a great time, Lucas!!
