This was an incredible experience. The driver James is a friendly genuine man who told us stories and gave us laughter, but also very knowledgeable and passionate. The nature was stunning and tranquil, more surprisingly we got to see so much snow! The towns we drove through had some interesting history and grand to see some old school America.

Great experience for friends, coworkers, spouses, or solo travelers. James was super knowledgable about the park and knew all the highlights to hit along the way. Definitely pack warm dry clothes, it’s Rainier after all. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get out of the city for a day.

Spent a wonderful day at Mt. Rainer National Park with Viator. From start to end Viator did an exceptional job. Starting with the simplicity of registration and pick up, then having an excellent guide (James) with great narrations, and then finishing with an east return/drop off, its all ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking of visiting the park for just a day, it is so much easier than driving yourself, and allows you to sight see along the way!

Despite the rainy weather, Mark made sure we had an incredible time on our Mount Rainier tour. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept everyone engaged throughout the day. We even got to enjoy several unexpected bonus stops that made the trip extra special. Even though we didn’t get to see Mount Rainier because of the rain and fog, it was still such a memorable trip.

Every tour is different. Our guide, Joel addressed the shut down to Paradise by leading a hike through the national park - beautiful scenery, multiple options.

Kevin was amazing! He knows the right spots to take a picture. It was forecasted to be cloudy so the whole day, we were chasing to see if we can catch a glimpse of Mt Rainier. And at the end, we did! He was also very funny and ensured that we were comfortable the whole entire trip. Thank you!
