Guide cancelled

PAMELA_S, Oct 2025

The guide cancelled. We were unable to experience the trip. Super disappointing. More notice or alternatives would have possibly helped.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Pamela, We are sorry for cancellation of the tour, but shared tour needs a minimum number of passengers to take place. Best Regards, Khitish BarbilTours/Platformpoints LLC

Simply Outstanding!!

Thomas_M, Jul 2025

Absolutely stunning views. Simply a treasure, made all the more special by a wonderful guide. It would’ve been a great visit regardless, because Mother Nature is the real star here, but Dwight’s tour made this so much more interesting and enjoyable. I would do this again.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Traveller, Thank you for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that the views were stunning and that Dwight's guidance added a special touch to your experience. We completely agree that Mother Nature is the real star, but it's great to know that Dwight's expertise and enthusiasm enhanced your visit. We're glad you'd consider doing this tour again and look forward to welcoming you back! Regards, Khitish(BarbilTours)

To visit Washington state and not explore Mt. Rainier National Park is a shame. It was a beautiful trip with an intelligent guide who knows a lot of interesting places and their history.

Sucks!!!!

Wendy_L, Dec 2022

It was cancelled my tour and they didn’t have the courtesy to tell me until I contacted them after to be waiting. Sucks!!!!

Tours can get cancelled in winter season due to weather conditions , We try to inform the customers as soon as possible whenever the roads in winter season closes due to the sudden change in weather

Canceled

cotonatj2, Sep 2022

Trip was canceled the day before and was offered a different tour for $120 instead of honoring what I already paid.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Many a time a tour needs a minimum number of guests. Each tour has its own minimum number of bookings that we need to have for the tour to go ahead . For SUV tour the minimum is 2 and maximum is 5 but for the van tour the minimum is 6 and maximum is 14

Cancelled at the last minute. 😒

Jennifer_C, Aug 2022

We extended our stay in order to do this tour, but were notified late the night before that it had been cancelled due to low enrollment. We were offered a different tour to Mt St Helen with a higher price. They did waive the price difference after I questioned it, but we were not interested in the switch. Adjusting schedules, times and pickup locations was too much of a hassle at 11 pm the night before. Was a huge letdown at the end of our stay!

Our guide Dwight went out of his way to help us. Not just on our tour but with the next leg of our journey.

We loved our Skyline and Mystic Falls hikes at Mt RAINIER. The mountain view was so close it was almost like Sir Rainier (Mt Rainier) was there to greet us.

Thumbs up Experiance

David_M, Aug 2022

Transportation to Mt. Rainier not a tour

Kerri_W, Jul 2022

The driver was not a guide. He did not share information. He only drove the van and had an itinerary for the day. The people who were additional passengers did not schedule this tour but when the van showed up it was their only option. One man had scheduled a tour of Mt.St. Helens not Mt. Rainier.
