John was an experienced and knowledgeable guide. He was personable and made the most of our time and was able to redirect quickly when unforeseen circumstances arose. We very much enjoyed the facts he provided and would highly recommend this tour of Mt. Rainier! Thank you John!!

It was really great. We had a great time, the bus stopped more than enough times for bathroom breaks and the places we saw were amazing. I highly recommend this tour with this company. The bus was very comfortable with enormous windows, you could see in all directions and we had a really great group of travelers that day.

I went on a couple hikes to see waterfalls and stopped at a lake. It was amazing to see everything. The one hour we had to ourselves was a little short to have lunch, gift shop and hike on our own, but it was doable based on choosing one of the shorter trails. There is quite a bit of steepness to each hike I participated in, so going downward was easier than upward back to the bus. So, you have to have some stamina and willingness to push through if you're not athletic like me. But, I had an awesome time and I loved all the views I saw. It was great meeting the people in my tour. I would definitely do it again.
