Let’s do this Mt. Rainier!!!

Mt. Rainier did not disappoint. It was a gorgeous day and our tour guide Susan did an amazing job! Navigate us through the huge terrain of the park. We love hiking to Glacier point got to see a couple bears along the way & the waterfalls, beauty at every turn, just an amazing trip!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Mt. Rainier exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, waterfalls, hiking, and even some bear sightings! We’re a little curious about the mention of Susan, as we don’t currently have a guide by that name on our team. It’s possible there may have been a mix-up with the guide’s name, but we’re glad to hear you had a great experience with your guide and enjoyed your time exploring the park. Thank you again for joining us—we truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure!

Unforgettable Mount Rainier Experience

Our private Mount Rainier tour was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Seattle. The mountain itself is absolutely breathtaking. Every stop looked like something out of a postcard, from the snow covered peaks to the waterfalls, forests, and incredible panoramic views. Pictures honestly do not do it justice. What truly made the experience exceptional was our guide, James. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, geology, wildlife, and trails around Mount Rainier, and you could tell he genuinely loves the mountain and sharing it with people. He made the entire day feel personal, relaxed, and memorable. James was also extremely supportive and thoughtful throughout the tour, always making sure we were comfortable, had enough time at each stop, and got the best possible experience. If you’re visiting the Seattle area and considering a Mount Rainier tour, this is absolutely worth it. We could not have asked for a better day or a better guide. Highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! We’re truly delighted to hear that your private Mt. Rainier tour was a highlight of your Seattle trip and that the mountain’s beauty left such a lasting impression. James will be especially happy to read your kind words. He takes great pride in sharing his knowledge of the park’s history, geology, wildlife, and trails, and it’s wonderful to know his passion helped make your day feel personal, relaxed, and memorable. We’re also glad his attentiveness and care helped you fully enjoy each stop along the way. We really appreciate your recommendation and are so pleased the experience exceeded expectations. Mt. Rainier really is unforgettable, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

Friendly and humorous tour

I went and applied for it myself, and I took a photo, took it in the middle, and I did a funny story, so it was great!! I wanted to stay a little longer in the mountain, but I don't have time to eat when I'm hiking... You can't eat it and end up going down. But you guys are crazy too! The bus is hot.

Operator response

Translation: I applied and went alone, but they took pictures for me, took care of me here and there, and told me fun stories, so it was great!! I highly recommend Cory!!! I wanted to stay on the mountain a little longer, but there's nothing I can do ㅠㅠ You don't have time to eat when you hike... I couldn't eat, so I ended up going down in a hurry ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Anyway, I highly recommend it to people traveling alone! The bus is a bit hot. Translation: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that Cory made your solo tour enjoyable by taking great care of you and sharing fun stories along the way. ㅋㅋ We understand wanting to stay longer on the mountain—sometimes time just flies when you’re having fun! 경험을 공유해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 코리가 세심하게 챙겨주시고 재미있는 이야기도 나눠주셔서 혼자 여행이 즐거웠다니 정말 기쁩니다. ㅋㅋ 산에서 더 오래 머물고 싶은 마음은 충분히 이해합니다. 즐거운 시간을 보내다 보면 시간 가는 줄 모르게 되니 말이죠! 버스가 좀 더웠다는 유용한 팁도 감사합니다. 참고하겠습니다. 다른 혼자 여행하시는 분들께도 이 투어를 추천해 주셔서 정말 기쁩니다. 곧 또 다른 맞춤형 투어 모험으로 다시 뵙기를 바랍니다! Thanks also for the helpful tip about the bus being a bit warm; we’ll keep that in mind. We’re so glad you recommend the tour to other solo travelers, and we hope to welcome you back for another Customized Tours adventure soon!

wonderful trip to Mt Rainier

The trip was wonderful. Cory was an excellent guide. The scenery was outstanding. We got to see the top of Mt Rainier briefly as we had clouds, rain, and even snowflakes. I recommend it.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the trip, even with a mix of weather—and that you caught a glimpse of Mt. Rainier! We'll be sure to pass your compliments on to Cory. Hope to see you on another adventure soon! Best regards,

Great Service

Jasper was great. He tailored our trip for physical capabilities and made sure we had plenty of bathroom breaks. He also knew all the key points for pictures. Definitely recommend if wanting a guide for the trip.

Yup , it’s a lake

Great tour. Great views. Loved the hike. Just wish we could have done more for a $1,300 tour. Our guide was great. He gave us lots of space. Just maybe too much space.. We Had to get back on our own. We didn’t do or see anything special that we couldn’t have just seen our own. But it’s cool we saw some nice water. Thought We really did enjoy the whole experience! It was a lot of fun! Especially getting frisked by the sheriff. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Operator response

I would like to hear more about your experience. When you book a tour with us privately you are able to customize it so the guide should have went along with your requests making all the stops you had on your list or created an itinerary for you.

Great way to see Mount Rainier

The wildflowers at the Paradise visitors center trails were spectacular! We had beautiful sunny (hot) weather and were able to hike in shorts and see multiple waterfalls and had amazing views. Mark was our tour guide and was very friendly and cheerfully took photos of us along the way. He also helped us to spot wildlife including jays and marmots. He escorted us to a grocery store to pick up a picnic on the way up so we did not have to think about food later on which was very helpful. He had a big enough bus that everyone could spread out and there was space for all our luggage so it was a very streamlined way to transition from cruise ship to airport later on.

FANTASTIC!!

This was a fantastic trip. Alex knew the best spots to stop and the history and geology of the area. This trip was not rushed and lasted almost 11 hours. Well worth it.
