All the Stars!

Highly recommend! Randy was great! Very accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. He went above and beyond to provide a great experience including keepsake photo opportunities. We had amazing views of Rainier all day. Good amount of time at each stop especially Paradise Park.

Great day at Mt. Rainier

For being 11-12 hour experience, time flew by. LUCAS made this tour a lot of fun. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history, the area, the current events and the state of the park. He has plenty of facts to share. He is extremely helpful, friendly, and charismatic. We stopped at all the major sites, and he was willing to make extra stops as time allowed. We would definitely do this tour again and highly recommended him and this company.
