It was good the trip and probably the cheapest option to get there, we spent more time in the van but once you get there you forget about everything else! I went with my mom and she got to see snow for the very first time, it was amazing!
I joined this tour with another girl and we enjoyed it a lot. After a few times taking bus tour, I can say that the bus is very new and clean. Tour guide was very informative and understand our need of using bathrooms and getting food. He a..lso provided a lot of information on the hiking trails at Mount Rainier to fit various age of people.
The view was amazing and breathtaking, we were given 3 hours to stay at the mountain where we can hike and enjoy the service center with some food services. The ride was great, decent and not too long, about 3-4 hours round trip. I would highly recommend my friends to take this tour who does not want to drive and want to learn more about the mountain.
Note: The tour fee does not include the mountain admission fee and the tour guide tips, luckily we got cash as we were not aware of the fee, but it is reasonable fee for the trip.Read full review
Wasn't expecting it to be a winter wonderland but it awesome !! Our tour guide made sure he got to know everyone and filled us with info about Mt. Rainer along the way.
The tour was great in general. The scenery up on the mountain was breath-taking. I suggest you go on the skyline trail or the al (something) vista trail up at the Paradise Station (sorry, i have bad memory). You would have a super view of t..he snowy peak and the park below *^* )/ Our tour guide - Richard, was very helpful. It was a clear day so we got a great view of the Reflection Lake. One thing i hope the tour would improve is the transportation. The van was a bit small for our big family & it was pretty hot with AC on a sunny day like that day we went on. In summary, I'm sastified with the tour :) but I'm quite sad to have my phone lost at the Chinatown, where Richard drop us off TTwTTRead full review
Very good tour. Takes care of the hassles of driving from Seattle. The guide was an experienced driver who could drive safely in thick fog. We saw Narada Falls, Rainier from Paradise Center and Reflection Lake. It filled productively all t..he time available.Read full review
Saves lot of time in driving; itinerary is planned for you. Guide knows what is the best chance to see the best view of the mountain. Sometime he can't help if nature does not cooperate but he tries his best. Falls and lake stops are also i..nteresting.Read full review
