    Tour guide was the only bad part of the day
    Tasha_F
    , Jul 2022
    The park was beautiful and lovely! But you could totally do this trip yourself without paying for this tour. The guide we had Ron, was too much. He wanted to take time out of the tour to teach about things that weren’t important and rush us when it came to enjoying the beauty of what we’re there for. Ron is definitely the reason I will never again take a group tour.

    Perfect day! Spectacular sights. Our tour guide - Andreas - was top notch. He did a fantastic job showing us all the sights. We had time on our own to hike some as well as things to do as a group. All the history and facts he shared added so much color to the trip. We loved it and would take another tour with this company any time!

    We really enjoyed this tour! We were blessed with gorgeous weather and Ken was organized and knowledgeable. He included plenty of bathroom breaks. I appreciated the walking sticks that he had as a couple of the short hikes were a challenge for my knees.

    Mt. Rainier Tour
    Robert_M
    , Jun 2022
    This was a two part experience. The tour with Tours Northwest was an excellent experience, our tour guide John was what you want in a tour guide; he was knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. Mt. Rainier park was enormous and eye opening. Definitely a place I plan to return in the future. On the negative side Viator as a booking agent was an absolute nightmare. Received numerous error messages and in trying to confirm my reservation was told that none existed and after 90 minutes in trying to get this resolved - finally gave up in frustration. Didn’t receive the confirmation until 12 hours prior to the tour and was able to cancel our alternate plans. I would never use Viator to book another tour.

    Loved the variety of scenery! From deep forest to rocky riverbeds, to snowy mountain lodge. Ron, our guide, was so invested in our experience. He wanted to maximize the time we had and made sure to give us options so all voices were heard. It was great to be surrounded by people from so many different parts of the world.

    Lucinda was a great tour guide. She kept us informed every step of the way about what we were about to see, when to expect upcoming bathrm breaks, checking in if we were comfortable temp-wise, etc., and made sure we could get food for ourselves. We had opportunities to see the mtn from various views, snow, the inns, and a beautiful waterfall. Only thing that could have been better was 5 more minutes at each stop!

    Stress free sight seeing
    Monica_C
    , Jun 2022
    This was a stress free trip - I was hesitant coz its a little pricey but taking the stress out of driving from Seattle to Mt Rainier is worth it. The tour guide (sorry forget her name) was very knowledgeable about history of Mt Rainier and history itself. She took us to good places to take pictures and was very considerate to travelers by giving enough bathroom breaks. The stopover at Paradise was 40 mins, I think extra 30 mins would have been nice, we dis not get yo do anything else but eat lunch - we did not get to see around there, my sons were quite disappointed that we have to leave without going to the bunny hill. Otherwise its still good trip
