Mount Rainier great experience

5.00As Dubai residents visiting Seattle, we really missed being close to nature, and Mount Rainier tour was the perfect choice. The mountain and surrounding national park were absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend this experience. Gary, our guide, was awesome. If every tour had guides like Gary, I would book again without hesitation.

3.00Guide was knowledgeable and funny but he did not handle drop off well. He was trying to be nice and accommodating to some of the tour participants, and as they were requesting to be back in time to watch one of the soccer matches he did them a favor be dropping them off first at a different location. The issue is that this caused the rest of the participants to be dropped off later, including myself and travel companion. And we were also trying to get somewhere by 5pm. In the future this guide needs to check with the other participants if he plans to change drop off logistics. Additionally, he kept changing the stops we were going to make. By this, I mean he would announce that we would do stop X, Y, and Z. Later after stopping he changed to other stops. Now, I did not mind where we stopped as long as Paradise was included, but once guided states that a stop will be made it sets an expectation. Guide should only announce stops that are definitely being made. For example, “we will stop at Paradise and a few places on the way” works much better and ensures ppl don’t form a. expectation that is later not met.
EXCELLENT TOUR

4.00Mt. Rainer is an amazing park to visit, our Tour Guide DJ was very informative and ensured we managed to see many amazing locations in the park. If I have 1 issue it is with the time in the Tour Bus, the description said 1:45 minutes each way, it was more like 3 hours each way.
