All One Could Want on a trip to Mt. Rainier
timcH6748SA, 03-01-2023
Cory was very knowledgeable and had several stops that really highlighted the trip. Stops to view the mountain, as well as the early hike along the river were big hits. The ultimate stop was Longmire and it did not disappoint. Terrific time. I definitely recommend.
Amazing trip and beautiful sights

This was a great tour, guided by Cory. He was very attentive and extremely helpful during the tour. My daughters and I had a great time and enjoyed it very much. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic event, excellent service. Witty and knowledgeable tour guide — loved the adventure. They even hand-delivered my daughter’s cell phone she’d left on the tour bus the day prior.
Awesome trip despite bad weather

As this is my first trip outside of my home country and the US, I'm more than satisfied with this tour. Cory was extremely considerate and helpful throughout the tour to make sure we have the best experience possible even though the weather did not support us during this (quite rainy and a lot of snow).

I'd recommend going on this tour in the summer for the full experience as there were some scenes we didn't get to see due to the weather.

I will definitely go on this tour again on my future trips to the States as there will be more to explore when the weather is nicer.

Thanks again.
Winter wonderland!

I went on the tour on a winter and still a breathtaking experience for me. I will definitely go back on summer to do more hikes. I wish we could've spent more than 2 hrs in the park for more time to hike.
