Kevin - 10/10 Tour Guide

The tour was an incredible. We flew from way of out town and would have never been able to navigate & drive the hilly roads to get to the site. Mt. Rainier was beautiful and our tour guide, Kevin, was incredible. Learned a lot and was able to see so much in so little time. Thank you, once in a lifetime experience!

Pattie_H, Aug 2026

Great tour Sylas!

What a great way to really appreciate the market! Sylas was amazing with his enthusiastic personality and knowledge. Having a chef’s perspective made each stop a bit more interesting. He shared his experiences as a chef and also shared his love of the market and its history. He answered many random questions…about cooking knives and the market’s flowers. Our whole group would 100% recommend this tour…and hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to get Sylas!

Space Needle, awesome

This was so much fun. Ive never been to Wa state so coming here for my birthday weekend was top notch. This was a cool experience. You cannot be afraid of heights otherwise stay in the gift shop all day or go to the Chihuley Gardens which was just as breathtaking. I loved that a lot.

John the Great Guide

Me and my wife had an amazing tour. We got to see and do a lot. John was awesome and really took care of everyone. Me and my wife were considering going ourselves but we decided to do the tour last minute. That was a great decision as we would have missed a lot. Really enjoyed this and we left with breath taking photos. While John made sure to give everyone important and useful knowledge throughout the tour. Kept everyone engaged. I would recommend this to anyone looking to do an efficient compact tour to get the most out of everything at Mount Rainier.

Seattle City Highlights Tour

joacrownover, Aug 2026

A wonderful tour of Seattle!

This was a very good 3 hour tour that we thoroughly enjoyed. Jeff did a tremendous job of explaining the history of Seattle and showing us many different neighborhoods and highlights of the city of Seattle. We had a group of 13 on our tour, and it was a very positive and pleasant experience. Jeff offered three separate pickup spots in Seattle, to make it convenient for all of the guests. He also gave us tips for things to see on our own if we chose to do so following the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are a first time visitor to the city, or if like us, you’ve been to Seattle before but would like to explore more.

A beautiful hike for people who are steady on their feet.

It was a great hike, but I think that its description should include a note of elevation and of the fact that the surface is not always stable - the loose, dry dirt was sometimes slippery. My husband and I are in our late 70s and were fine, but another guest fell several times.

Day Tour to Olympic National Park

There is a lot of driving in this trip . The company should not have so many pickups . Just designate no more than four places . Our tour guide took very good care of all those on the trip . He was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver . The scenery was beautiful .

Touring with Patti! 10/10 recommend!

Patti was our guide and she did a great job! We learned so much history about the area around Pioneer Square and Seattle. It was very cool to be able to see the way they developed the city from literally the ground up! The local merchants also offer discounts after the tour (keep your ticket!) so that’s a small bonus! We stopped at the Mirabella cafe and the food was amazing. What a great way to start out a quick visit!

Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour from Seattle

Leonid_G, Aug 2026

Wonderful experience with Silas

To see the waterfall in it entirety travelers should be prepared to walk for 30 to 45 minutes on uneven surfaces mostly down and for a small portions up the road. You have option to stay with the driver if you feel not up to task. You still will see waterfall on the top and from the bottom view points.

Mt. Rainier National Park Seattle 1-Day Small Group In-Depth Tour

Melissa_A, Aug 2026

Tour was amazing!

I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this tour!! As a family of 4 never been to the PNW before, it would have been a nightmare for us to rent a car, navigate driving the park, finding a spot to park, and we wouldn’t have gotten any of the very interesting background and fun facts about the city and park that we got from our guide. It would have taken away from the enjoyment of our trip. It’s pricey yes, but so worth the convenience and comfort knowing we could relax and enjoy our day. The guide (John - awesome guy) knew all the good spots to stop at. We would have loved to stay longer at some of the spots, but that goes with this being a tour and trying to cram a lot into a shorter timeframe. Thankfully for us, we chose a day with perfect weather, and the park wasn’t actually crowded, possibly due to some wildfire haze (which actually didn’t affect us at all!). We felt safe the entire time. John made sure we had a lot of water to stay hydrated, and made sure every one of us got the best experience we could. If you’re uncertain if you want to attempt this trip because you’re new to the area, and have the means to do so, I would recommend it. One of the best trips my family has had! Memories for a lifetime.

Leavenworth Exclusive Tour from Seattle

Madhuri_D, Aug 2026

Mesmerizing scenic beauty

Leavenworth has a beautiful scenic beauty. The journey was full of landscape view. After get there you would have 3-4 h to explore the town by yourself. You can do water activities, or walk around and then have your lunch, it has lot of options for it. Our tour guide Slava was amazing and knowledgeable, even he dropped me at my convenient place. Thanks to him.
