Our tour guide, Lucas, gave us an experience that we will always remember. Even though our party was small, Lucas made the experience much more lively by asking us what we wanted to do and when. He took the extra step by looking ahead at the weather to make sure we were able to see the mountain, and he timed it all right on the dot. After the mountain, Lucas showed us around the mountain at various landmarks, where he was able to not only provide the information about the landmark but also history to tie to it's significance. Make sure you listen to him if you get him as your tour guide. He not only makes good suggestions about the gear you need, but some movies too!

Wow this was one of my favorite experiences while visiting Seattle. Mt Rainier was absolutely beautiful and this tour was worth every penny! Lucas was the best tour guide I have ever had! He was very flexible, very knowledgeable and had a great positive attitude! I traveled solo and would recommend this to solo travelers! We stopped at Fred Meyers prior to heading to Mt Rainier and you are able to buy snacks or food items for the day but you can also bring your own snacks and lunch, which is what I did. I also recommend bringing hiking shoes when traveling in the winter time. I did not have hiking shoes but thankfully Fred Meyers had some great options and I bought some there. I don’t think I would have explored as much as I did without the hiking shoes because it can be very slippery with the snow. Totally recommend this tour to everyone!

Lucas provided an excellent experience for my family on our day trip to Mt. Rainier! Lucas was not only informative, he showed excellent care for his passengers. As a family from the Midwest, we knew very little about the Northwestern region. We feel well informed acclimated after our day with Lucas. We also appreciated how Lucas showed concerned for his passengers as they ventured to the mountain and back. He ensured that everyone was safe and looked after. Lucas was a joy to be around. The mountain was beautiful, but the entire was a great experience because of Lucas' willingness to go above and beyond throughout the day.
