Our driver and guide Joe/Joel was extremely knowledgeable and professional. You could asked him anything about Washington state and probably the US. He was always making sure on us, listened to our interests and showed us the best places we could enjoy with the available weather since it was cloudy. He also gave recommendations for Seattle.

A great full day tour of the Mountain! The weather was mostly cloudy but even with that we were able to see a good part of the mountain and have plenty of other sights to see. James was our tour guide and he was amazing. He made sure we were all happy and knew so much about the history of Seattle, Mt. Rainier, and the surrounding area. He even supplied us with extra hiking equipment for those who weren’t as prepared (snow shoes, hiking sticks, gloves, etc.). Although the trip was a total of 12 hours, there was never a dull moment.

James will be so pleased to hear how much you appreciated his knowledge, attention to detail, and the extra gear for those unexpected moments on the trail! It's great to know the tour was engaging from start to finish. We’re grateful for your kind words and look forward to more adventures together in the future! All the best,
