We had the most incredible day on the mountain with our tour guide, James. James was truly the best tour guide we’ve ever had, and we’ve done a lot of these types of tours. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He learned everyone’s names and even bought cupcakes in honor of those that were celebrating special occasions, which was a lovely touch. He really made the experience engaging and extremely informative—not to mention safe. We could really sit back and relax knowing that everything was in his capable hands. We learned a ton and made wonderful memories during the tour, and got to see all of the best parts of the park. I highly recommend this tour, and especially James as a tour guide. (He mentioned that he also does the Seattle city tour and the wine tour, so if you sign up for either of those, ask for him)!

Corey did a nice job of highlighting important sites and balancing the trip so that everybody got what they needed and wanted. Because they allowed time to hike or take a lunch or visit the gift shop it made it a great adventure, for any ability level!
