I had a good time. We made multiple stops on the way to Mt Rainier and on the way back, including spontaneous ones. Joel is amazing!

Great trip to Mount Ranier. Mostly stayed on roads with 93 year old dad reminiscing. Parking was a little tough and required walking but we were able to manage and have a great time trip. The little cabins in Oackwiid were super cute and restful.

It was very well managed, and our guide was incredibly informative, providing us with all the interesting details throughout the trip. One of the highlights was definitely the weather – we were fortunate to have a sunny day in November in Seattle. Recommended.

Who says a tour of Mt Rainier in the winter is a bad ideal!?! Not us!! We had such a great tour. Lucas took us to places not normally on the tour due to the weather and I think they were better! Yes, we probably will do another in the spring or summer, but we got the most dramatic pictures from all the snow. We went snow shoeing (provided by the tour) and hikes at beautiful locations. This is NOT a sitting tour so expect to be active. Lucas was very informative and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful trip! We’ve seen astonishing mountain views. Although winter clouds blocked Mt. Rainier, we still had fun climbing the Paradise trail. The provided snowshoe is really helpful. Our tour guide Lucas was also fantastic. He is knowledgeable about the mountains and shared many interesting anecdotes.

Our tour guide was Lucas, a friendly big guy with long beard. He boasted himself as one of the best guides worldwide and I thought he was absolutely worth the compliments! Tailored hotel pick up was great. The bus was warm and cozy. He was talkative and knowledgeable, introducing the volcano and explained about tectonic movements along the way and answering questions patiently. He also planned our trip according to the season and weather. We took a few rides with him and learned a lot from his words. Besides, the scenery was beautiful and it was definitely a unique experience hiking on snowy trails. Strongly recommended for travelers to Mt. Rainier.

Had a great time on the Mt. Rainier tour from Seattle. The tour took most of the day (11 hours?) and included stops to popular photo spots like the National Park sign, visitor centers (Paradise and Longmire), and hiking opportunities. Cory was a great guide and included lots of interesting information about the park and surrounding area. Would recommend to others hoping to visit the National park while staying in Seattle.

Fun day from start to finish! Our guide, Cory, connected immediately with our crew - two dads & seven kids (ages 9-24) — knowledgeable, great sense of humor, and he knew all the right spots for us to explore. Add in the stunning scenic beauty of Mount Rainier, and it was a winning day all around!

Lucas is a great guide and the tour was comfortable. The paradise place was closed due to snow so we switched to have a good amount of time hiking (totally~3 hours). He also stopped at several view points such as sunset point, small water falls for us to take photos.
