I had a wonderful time. It was the perfect way to end my time in Seattle. We had amazing weather, and the scenery was beautiful. Our driver was very friendly and provided great information on each place we passed through or visited. I would recommend this day trip to anyone wanting a relaxing, easy way to get out of the city for a day.

This day tour to Mt Rainier was one of the highlights of my week in Seattle. A small party of 12 people on a big coach made for an intimate and relaxing day tour. The driver/guide was excellent and gave one of the most helpful, informative, and humourous commentaries I have experienced. He also had to cope with a medical emergency when an elderly passenger fell ill on the way to the national park; he requested medical aid from Rainier base camp. He was then able to continue the tour with total professionalism.
The national park itself is breathtaking and must be experienced to appreciate its full beauty and raw nature. We arrived back in Seattle only a fraction over the driver's estimated time and returned safely to our hotel. I was very satisfied with this tour and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.
Our driver definitely made the trip a most memorable experience. He gave us loads of information about the geology, plants, and wildlife. You could tell he really loved the Mount Rainier area. He stopped at numerous places for the best picture shots and kept us entertained for all of the day. Despite a problem with the bus and having to wait for a replacement, he kept us all amused, and, with the agreement of all the people on the trip, we had more than a full day out.

Our tour guide, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and professional. Made frequent photo stops. We were fortunate to have a sunny day with an unbelievable view of the mountain. We spent sufficient time to enjoy the experience. Would definitely recommend.

The trip starts off and it is really cold. So if you take pictures from the inside, remember that glass does not lend itself to clear pictures. Other than that it was awesome!!!

The coach driver was terrific; he made the day most enjoyable. He even brought some huckleberries to show us - we wouldn't have had a clue what they were otherwise! Top marks for a great tour.

We had an excellent tour guide. She stopped at places to view Mt. Rainier National Park that I never would have seen on my own. She also gave us information about interesting points in the Seattle area. She was GREAT!

It was beautiful. There was still snow, but warm weather. It was a long drive and very limited time to walk around, "trails" were mostly covered by snow. We would have had more time to walk, but our tour guide spent more time driving and even sitting in a parking lot talking to us. Although he was really, really nice and knowledgeable, he told some long-winded and fictional stories. I would have preferred some quiet time on the ride up there and back with occasional comments of anything noteworthy. Although it is a long day, we brought our 6-month-old and I was able to stay on the bus on one of the stops at an overlook during his nap time.
