Not hiking with a guide.

The klook explained that the guide guide was supposed to lead us on the main hike, and word of mouth said that the guide had helped us take the best photos of Mount Rainier, so I thought I'd sign up for a guided tour. However, since the hike was free-for-all, I didn't know which course I'd be able to take back in time, so I just walked in vain, desperate to get back in time. It's not the guide's fault, he's wrong about the klook tour. The guide was kind. There were a number of courses, so I struggled.

Amazing day trip

It's a long day but well worth it! We stopped at several amazing overlooks/waterfalls and had time to hike when we stopped at the Paradise visitor Center. John took photos of each group so we could have some unique photos of us with the sites (rainbow in the background at the falls and reflection of the mountain next to us in the water)! While driving, John shared a wealth of knowledge about the city of Seattle and the park- it was an amazing day!

Beautiful place

It was great! A lot of freedom to explore. The time for each activity was perfect and the guide was very polite

Beautiful Mt Ranier but beware of tipping rip off.

The actual tour itself was well organized. Our tour guide, Cyrus, was friendly and well prepared. However we were shocked at the end of the tour when he told us what we owed him for a tip. $15.00 a person. We tip well but we certainly do not expect to be told the amount to tip. Not happy about that.

They take all of the stress out of a visit to Mount Rainier

We signed up for this trip after hearing how busy and stressful a trip to the Mount Rainier national park could be. Boy were they right! We had a nice relaxing time and our guide, John, took us to some amazing places throughout the park. I would highly recommend booking this trip.
