I overall had a great experience with this tour. Pickup was easy and the tour bus was labeled and easy to find. Erika was my guide today and she did an amazing job sharing her knowledge with the group. We were a small group and I felt like it was welcoming for families as well as solo travelers such as myself. Erika got to learn a little about us and remembered as the tour continued. I would love to return and see it again in the warmer months.
No Minimums! Visit Mt. Rainier with our professional, enthusiastic and informative tour guides. Travel in our clean, comfortable mini-coaches with large windows, high back seats and heat + A/C. The season will determine the route and accessibility of your tour! In the summer, experience old-growth forests, wildflower-filled meadows, and thundering waterfalls on this tour of glacier-clad Mt. Rainier. Winter tours spend more time at Longmire with complimentary snow shoes. Hike and walk a little or not at all: there are options for all abilities. Enjoy lunch at a Mt. Rainier cafe or buy a picnic lunch along the way. No two tours are the same! Your guide will provide the best tour available on any given day. Return to Seattle through memorable PNW scenery. Bring a camera on this spectacular Mt. Rainier tour as well as comfortable walking shoes. Layer both warm and cool weather clothing as mountain temperatures can vary from rainy and cold to sunny and hot during a single day.

Andrea was an excellent guide and he shared much information about Mt Rainier and places to hike with us.

Perhaps, it was just luck, but this was one of the best tours I have been on. The driver/guide Erika was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and had such beautiful insight about the area. Recommend this for anyone that is traveling solo. Made some lifelong friends!

We had an amazing time. Erica, our guide was great. The mountain was beautiful with the snow. Can't wait to visit again, next time in warmer weather.

On the way to the national park, you will have already some beautiful photo opportunities. But the Mount Rainier mountain and all the mountain range you can see from Paradise is simply magnificent and beautiful. Hiking through the snow is also an experience. Our guide Gary was fantastic: excellent driver, very knowledgeable and informative, funny and entertaining. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
