We're glad we went! - The views were absolutely stunning and well worth it. Susan is very kind and patient. We highly recommend it. Tip: Before you start, take a moment to stretch your muscles.

Fun hike - Really enjoyed the hike, the falls, and the drive through the towns. However, as others have mentioned, the hike is less moderate and more strenuous and the bus was an old cramped bus that could use an upgrade. Also, we sat at the last row of the bus and had a hard time hearing the tour guide because she didn't have a mic. Having said all that, we had a great time.

Great time, would recommend - Had a great time! Guide, Marc was courteous and was talkative with everyone.
Group itself was really nice, different backgrounds and very respectful.
All in all would recommend.
There can be alot of people on the trail. But on the afternoon time, alot were leaving. Wasnt crowded at the falls.

Excellent tour well worth the price - Great tour guide. Hiking was a bit intense but absolutely doable. Great way to spend a half day seeing nature while having time to jump on another tour or see more of Seattle.

Great way to get out of the city - We had a great time. Good hike with a descent sized group. Had the best weather. Got stuck in traffic on the way back but no fault of the guide.

Waterfalls - Our guide was 15 min late. Overall the hike to Twin Peaks was very enjoyable. However, if you don’t hike regularly you might think it is a little strenuous. Gemma was knowledgeable about the area and sights.

Challenging but beautiful. - This is not an easy hike!! Lots of up and down hills. Several older members (50’s-60’s) of our party had to quit and go back. I am 60 and in pretty good shape and it was challenging for me, but in a good way! The biggest issue, I think, was the speed that the tour leader walked. I felt like we were racing and couldn’t stop to enjoy the hike. But still a very nice hike and I am glad we did it!
