5.00Was a great way to see the park. Mix of stops and info along the drive provided. Cory was a wonderful host and made us laugh, gave us quizzes (LOL) and just became a friend who we were traveling with. Even with the rain that came at the end of the day, the trip was WELL worth it!!!

5.00Cory was one of the best guides that we have had for our tours. He was very knowledgeable about the mountain and was able to give us opportunities to take some great pictures. I would highly recommend this tour if you are wanting to see some beautiful sights and some short hikes.

5.00Come prepared for any weather experience. Get some food items for your cooler. Lots of scenery to look at so always look out the windows. It’s a long day so be rested before going. My favorite spot was the paradise section up at the lodge and the paved trails behind it. Our driver, Kevin gave us a great history lessons and narrative throughout the park and on the way to the park.
Outstanding Guide, Outstanding Day

5.00I had an unforgettable day trip to Mount Rainier on May 10 with Customized Tours, and a big part of what made the experience so special was our guide, Cory. We were a group of about 18 people. Cory was incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job of sharing interesting information and fun facts throughout the day without overwhelming us. He struck the perfect balance between providing insight and allowing us quiet moments to simply take in the beauty and serenity of Mount Rainier. He even stopped at a shop on our way, for the group to buys snacks for the day. His attention to detail was outstanding. He knew exactly where to stop for the most spectacular views and photo opportunities, ensuring we experienced the best that the park had to offer. Cory also managed the group exceptionally well, treating everyone with respect while keeping the tour running smoothly. Thanks to his organization and professionalism, we were able to visit all the key spots without unnecessary delays. If you're considering a Mount Rainier tour, I highly recommend Customized Tours, and if you're lucky enough to have Cory as your guide, you're in for a fantastic experience. It was truly a memorable day that I will not forget.
Great

5.00This was a fantastic tour to Mount Rainier National Park. Our guide Lucas was friendly and informative, talking to us about the park and telling us stories throughout the day. He adapted the tour route based on the weather, and while it was too cloudy and snowy to actually see Mount Rainier, we visited lots of wonderful viewpoints and waterfalls and it was still absolutely worth it! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle!
