Excellent waterfall hike - The guide is very informative! She even made extra stops when we saw a herd of elk and great photo ops. It was a beautiful trip!

Our guide, John was... - Our guide, John was wonderful! During the drive there and back, he pointed out places of interest and gave us some history of the area. Same during the actual hikes. He was patient with the slower members of the group.
The trails were beautiful and challenging. One had to watch where you put your feet; lots of rocks and tree roots to navigate. Hiking shoes are a must. There is some long elevation to climb. Definitely not a hike for those out of shape (and the excursion description does warn of this.) Loved the old growth forests we hired through.

Wonderful time, even better guide - I had a wonderful time on this tour through Twin Falls and the Snoqualmie Falls with Matt as the guide. He was a wonderful guide with so much compassion and a great attitude. I was struggling a bit and he made sure I was comfortable and encouraged to continue the entire time. I highly recommend!

Recharged and grounded - This was an excellent way to recharge from the concrete jungle of NYC. The rain did not stop the show. The guide was a historian, in addition to transporting us there and to the falls 10/10 experience.

Stunning trek through the forest - Susan was a fantastic tour guide who safely drove us up to Ollalie Sate Park - a stunning forest where we visited the Twin Falls. The trek was not too arduous. Steep in places, but safe too. Susan was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area. Being a Twin Peaks fan, Susan kindly allowed us to take a quick pit stop at Tweads Cafe which is better known to Twin Peaks fans as the Double R diner - we are very grateful for that. After the hike, we then visited Snowqualmie Falls, another iconic Twin Peaks landmark. It was a beautiful experience and highly, highly recommend this.

Beautiful mountains and greenery - This hike is moderate. Beautiful forest and a good change from cityscape! Just know that you’ll need to pay additional money for parking. I think another pickup spot would be better.

Great way to see beautiful nature - A great way to see a lot of nature in a short space of time. We were picked up promptly by our friendly guide, and drove about 30 mins to our hiking loop in the beautiful forest full of autumn colours. The trail was easy to navigate (all a proper trail incl. steps in some places), and there was no chance of getting lost even for a directionally challenged solo traveller like me! We went on a dry sunny day and I wore walking shoes, but normal trainers would have been fine. I recommend layers, as it’s chilly in the shade even on a sunny day but you get warm when walking (I had a T-shirt, fleece, thin down jacket and hat). Water and snacks were provided and there was plenty of opportunities to use the restrooms (although the one at the hiking area is a very basic ‘long drop’ so you may wish to bring purell wipes to supplement the alcohol gel). Our guide told us plenty about the area and plants as we walked. Really recommend if you want to escape the city to see some nature but don’t have loads of time. The only reason I didn’t give 5* is because the walk did feel a little rushed - I guess because we needed to get back on time, but it did feel like there wasn’t a tonne of time to take in the surroundings in a relaxed way. We had one person in our group who was a slower walker and she hung back on a couple of sections because she couldn’t keep up - I’d have been happy to wait and get back ~30 mins later. Guide dropped a person from our group at the outlet shops so she didn’t have to get a separate bus, which I thought was kind.
