Bethany_S, Apr 2026
I love these national park guides we have done Glacier, Zion, Bryce and now mt Rainer however we wanted to listen to the whole thing despite park of the park not being open. Once you get to paradise point you have to turn around and it keeps going back to the points we already listened too….so we quit listening.
Otherwise the information was incredible.
Cheri_G, Apr 2026
Guided audio tour was great. We were able to stop and replay pieces as we needed. And the history was amazing. Would do this again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Cheri, I’m really glad to hear that my Ultimate Mount Rainier National Park GPS Driving Tour was helpful and enjoyable. It’s great that you could stop, replay sections whenever needed, and take in the amazing history along the way. I truly appreciate you sharing your experience and would love to guide you again. If you're exploring more of Washington, don’t miss our tours of Olympic National Park, North Cascades, the Space Needle, and Downtown Seattle, too!

The audio plays when you approach the area, no action needed on your part. It worked great for us and told us about stops on the way we would have never known had we not used this recorded program. Highly recommend if you are doing a self drive through the park.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed my Ultimate Mount Rainier National Park Self-Guided Driving Tour. It’s wonderful that the GPS-triggered audio worked smoothly and helped you discover spots you might have missed otherwise. I appreciate your recommendation and hope to join you again on your next park adventure. If you're exploring more of Washington, don’t miss our tours of Olympic National Park, North Cascades, the Space Needle, and Downtown Seattle too!
Debra_M, Jul 2025
We weren’t sure what this would be like, and hadn’t been to Mount Rainier in many years. We downloaded the tour and we’re so thrilled with it. It automatically loaded the narration at each strategic point, and gave us history, descriptions, and pointed out really important sites to see. It was absolutely crucial to us truly enjoying our tour of Mount Rainier. We want to use the Action tour for other places to visit as well. The only note, is to make sure you download the tour before you get to the mountain as there is no Wi-Fi or cell service there and you will have to pay for your admission to Mount Rainier national Park when you get there as well.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Debra, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed my Mount Rainier audio tour and that it enhanced your experience with history, descriptions, and key sites. It’s great that the narration helped you make the most of your visit. Thanks for the helpful tip about downloading the tour beforehand—it’s always essential to prepare, especially when there’s no Wi-Fi or cell service, it will help future travellers. I’m excited to hear you’re looking forward to exploring more of my tours for future trips. If you're exploring more of Washington, don’t miss our tours of Olympic National Park, North Cascades, the Space Needle, and Downtown Seattle, too!
JaneKostanko, Jul 2025
We really enjoyed the narrative. It was so convenient to have it start at exactly the right moment for us to take notice of things. We learned a lot more than if we had driven without it. Would recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Jane, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed my Mount Rainier tour and found the narration both educational and timely. It’s great that it enhanced your experience and helped you learn more about the park. If you're exploring more of Washington, don’t miss our tours of Olympic National Park, North Cascades, the Space Needle, and Downtown Seattle, too!
Neil_B, Jun 2025
Worth the money for information you would have not known otherwise. It’s recommendations to stop we spot on each time as well
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Neil, thrilled to hear you found the Mount Rainier self-guided tour worth it. The goal is to help you uncover those hidden gems and make every stop count—and it’s great to know the recommendations hit the mark. If you're exploring more of Washington, don’t miss our tours of Olympic National Park, North Cascades, the Space Needle, and Downtown Seattle too!
Leo_F, May 2025
The app was always behind the drive. We seemed to miss item or have to turn around. Would not recommend
Response from Host, May 2025
Leo, it sounds like you might have taken the reverse version of the tour (ie started from a different entrance than the one selected in the app). That’s why everything appeared to play late. I’d love to help you retry the tour—it’s valid for a full year. If you prefer a replacement or refund instead, I am available daily and happy to assist with whatever works best for you.
Azul_B, Apr 2025
It was great, we enjoyed the tour stories and guide, there was photos, stories shared, learning lessons and more. Made our trip to the top of the mountain better, unfortunately we could not do the whole trip due to Ice on the roads, even though is April, Park Ranger said Full park is only open from June to October (Depends) but would definitely love to finish the tour. There was a map and GPS always helping us find our way back to track. You all should consider doing this in different languages, it was great. Thank you.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Azul, I’m so glad you enjoyed my Ultimate Mount Rainier National Park Self-Guided Driving Tour. It’s great to hear the stories, photos, and GPS helped make your trip more meaningful, even if ice kept you from completing the whole route. You're right, much of the park doesn’t fully open until June, depending on conditions. I genuinely appreciate the suggestion about adding more languages, and I’ll pass that along to my team. I hope you get to return and complete the whole tour, as my tour is valid for a year after booking. If you’re ready for more adventures, check out more of my Washington tours, featuring Olympic National Park, North Cascades, and more!

My wife and I were visiting Washington for the first time, And we were planning on visiting Mount Rainier national Park And Olympic national Park. We debated whether or not to try out The Action tour guide app and decided we would give it a shot for Mount Rainier and then decide about Olympic. We were very pleased with all of the detailed information and stories that were provided, and how we were able to stop whenever we wanted and were informed about the next point of interest along the way. My wife commented about how we wouldn’t have known any of the information provided, and Would have had to glean information from the visitor centers and signs along the way. We felt like we we had a personalized tour guide in our car with us, without having to interact with One. We enthusiastically Purchased, the self guided tour for Olympic national Park the next day. Two thumbs up!
