Simply Outstanding!! - Absolutely stunning views. Simply a treasure, made all the more special by a wonderful guide. It would’ve been a great visit regardless, because Mother Nature is the real star here, but Dwight’s tour made this so much more interesting and enjoyable. I would do this again.

Explore Mt. Rainier National Park - To visit Washington state and not explore Mt. Rainier National Park is a shame. It was a beautiful trip with an intelligent guide who knows a lot of interesting places and their history.

Our guide Dwight went out of his way to help us. Not just on our tour but with the next leg of our journey. - We loved our Skyline and Mystic Falls hikes at Mt RAINIER. The mountain view was so close it was almost like Sir Rainier (Mt Rainier) was there to greet us.

Mt Rainer - This tour should have been canceled. The rain and fog and snow destroyed the whole experience. Yes-we can say we went to Mt Rainer-but we couldn’t see anything. The welcome center was closed. In fact the only thing that was opened was a little museum. My husband and I would have loved a little verbal tour. Geoffrey was very nice but I had to ask him all the questions. Like what’s this-what’s that etc. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour and again it should have been cancelled due to the weather.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY-they are a scam. - DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. This company is a SCAM and lied and stole our money!!! I agreed to $680.00 for a private tour of Mt. Rainier National Park with park entry fees, breakfast stop and a list of different stops through the park. 2 months before the trip they agreed to a 5am pick up in Seattle. The day before the trip, they charged my card $980.00 instead of $680.00 AND told us we would not be picked up until 6:30 am and also they did not register for timed entry stamp at Sunrise entrance. I ended up on the phone with the owner of the company who told me they would take us to Paradise entrance because no timed entry was needed. The driver smelled bad and talked non stop. He did not know or mention where to stop for bathroom or the scheduled breakfast stop and did not realize it until we mentioned that he had driven past the last bathroom before the Park. (we ended up having to emergency stop on the side of the road to go to the bathroom) He drove us to the edge of the park, then lost signal to his GPS an proceeded to try to drive into the Sunrise entrance without a timed entry. I told him we would be turned away so on a 2 lane switch back with steep drop off decided that was the place to make a 3 point turn and almost knock us off the mountain. I then had the only cell service to direct him on where to go. He admitted he had never been to Mt Rainier and was "just a driver" and thought getting us to the outskirts of the park was all he needed to do. He proceeded to turn away from the park and start driving west until I demanded he stop and turn around and follow my directions. He insisted all the tour promised was taking us to the Park and he had done that. He kept showing me a screen shot of the itinerary. I asked him if he knew where any of these places on the itinerary are and he admitted no. I made him turn around and drive toward Paradise entrance. He was mad and driving 55mph on 35 mph mountain roads. I asked him to PLEASE follow the posted speed signs. Once we got to the Paradise entrance he was surprised he had to pay to get in. (That was included in the tour) He paid, dropped us off at the visitor center and proceeded to park in the handicap spot saying he would just wait there while we hiked. He was yelled at by rangers to move, so he would just circle around and park in a different handicap spot. For the ride home after hiking he stopped for us to get food after I demanded he stop at a restaurant outside of the park. We had to buy him lunch. Then for the next 2.5 hours home he talked non stop and smelled SO bad. Image I attached are what most of my photos look like because they were out the window while he drove WAY too fast and did not know where to stop for good photos or hikes or experiences.

Cancelled at the last minute. 😒 - We extended our stay in order to do this tour, but were notified late the night before that it had been cancelled due to low enrollment. We were offered a different tour to Mt St Helen with a higher price. They did waive the price difference after I questioned it, but we were not interested in the switch. Adjusting schedules, times and pickup locations was too much of a hassle at 11 pm the night before. Was a huge letdown at the end of our stay!
