Tough tour. Roughly a 12/13 hour day and you’re spending about 7 hours of it sitting in a tight van being transported. I personally don’t feel the destination was worth the time lost in getting there. Also, the lunch provided, a cold hard sandwich from the deli at the ferry was terrible. It would have been better to give us the option to bring our own lunch prior to the tour. Guide was okay, he did his job and got us everywhere safely and on time. However, I don’t recommend this tour. Either stick with visiting Mt. Rainier or go in your own car.

Great Tour with an exceptional guide!
Mitch our guide was awesome. From the time he picked us up till the time he dropped us off...he treated us like family. The tour was informative and just overall a great day! I would recommend Mitch and will request him for my next tour!

Beautiful and Breath taking
Everything was so beautiful and so fun! Phill was great because he was orderly, very knowledgeable and gave great insight to each location we visited . The price was totally justified because it included lunch and transportation , park entrance fees and ferry fees plus the experience and beautiful views itself . We did the 11 hour tour and saw so much, it was truly an amazing experience especially for first time travelers to Washington and a national park.

Phil is a great guide, we had a very comfortable trip and he is informative and considerate. Took us right on time for the ferry and also got us back in time. Enjoyed the rainforest guided tour and the other stops in the tour.
