I don’t think my family and I have had a more perfect day, ever. Our guide, Corey, picked us up on time at our hotel, then proceeded to drive the group from Seattle to Mt. Rainier. Along the way, Corey gave us a fun and entertaining history lesson about the mountain and surrounding area. He also made jokes and told us other funny stories. He gave us great advice and guidelines for all of our stops, and though we never felt rushed, Corey kept things moving along at a good pace. We had fantastic photo opportunities as well as great hiking experiences. Seriously, Corey’s well suited for his role - personable, smart and energetic. We couldn’t have asked for better!

Our tour guide, Cory, was terrific in taking us to various sites in and around Mt. Rainier National Park. We got nice views of the mountain on a mostly clear day. On top of that, Cory was a funny guy.
I would do this trip again, but in the summer months when all the park roads are open. On my trip, taken in mid-April, not all park roads were open, and so, we couldn't get to certain places (e.g. Christine Falls).

John was an excellent tour guide, has great knowledge on geology and geography of the area. He also provided us snowboots and gave us ample amount of stops. Just 2 suggestions would be to: stop at a vegetarian sandwich place we struggled to get veggie options and stop at ATMs in city vicinity as international cards don't work in country side.

Cory was my groups tour guide and he was so great. Really great energy and good at making conversation with everyone. The tour itself was really good. I like that we were given the option to do our own thing at some spots. We hit many beautiful spots in the park and I would highly recommend booking if you’re going solo or a small group. Saves you the hassle of transportation and getting around the park by yourself, while also getting to visit many classic mt rainier spots

Overall our experience at Mt. Rainer was outstanding, mainly because the park, the views, nature and the hikes were more than what we anticipated. We left the tour with an experience of a lifetime. Our tour guide was Cory and his style as a guide was very relaxed which we enjoyed. One thing to know is that you will stop at a grocery store about an hour from Mt. Rainer so you can buy snacks/food/drinks or any outfit that is needed for the hike/day at the mountain. The tour doesn’t include food or drinks though Cory got a case of water for us to partake which was very nice. Be aware that even when the tour description says snow boots available, that is not guaranteed; we had to buy our own (which was an additional expense). We enjoyed all the stops we did at the park; Cory planned those well and even took us to a wooded trail so we could experience the majesty of old trees while pointing out its significance to the natives that once inhabited the area. Pictures are worth more than words, so I have attached a few for your reference.
