The Mount Rainier bustour I made was absolutely worth the money. The bus driver was friendly and very well-informed, so that even the long bus ride to the final (view) point wasnt boring at all. First the weather seemed to be too cloudy to actually see Mt. Rainier very good, but at the end the sun did come out. And we made several stops from which the Mountain could be seen. The landscape was just breathtaking. Seeing all those snow the higher we came made me feel like having winter again although it was a lot warmer. We even saw some animals including a bear and foxes. All in all a wonderful experience I would recommand to everybody, not only because of the incredibly beautiful view but also because of the wonderful bus-driver and all the nice and lovely people that made the tour as well.

It was a great experience. I learned about you while browsing on the internet. I visited the USA to meet my daughter who currently lives in Seattle. Your tour was one of the highlights of our 2 weeks stay at Seattle. I will certainly recommend your tour to any friends who would like to visit Seattle.

The comfort of the ride and the scenery and history of the area was definitely worth the time and money. However, our bus driver was rude, overly persistent and quite a "smart alec" when specific help was needed.

It started bumpy- we were told to wait outside of our hotel at 7:45 AM, but the bus did not arrive until 8:30 AM. The bus driver apologized for the delay but insisted that it was not her fault (the dispatcher told everyone two pick- up times which are bound to be off for most people). Afterwards, we had a long-drive and many small stops at the photo-op sites. The bus driver was very knowledgeable about Mt. Rainier and that was the best part of the trip. It is worth visiting by bus once. It is better if you have a car to drive on your own.

This was a great day out and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Our trip was on the 3rd July and Mount Rainier National Park was extremely busy with lots of snow still on the ground.Our driver was both informative and amusing. He knew all the best places to stop for great photos and good eats!
Reviewed by: ANGELA R., USA, July 2009
We found the driver to be well qualified, courteous. He made our trip relaxing yet giving us a lot of information and time to soak in the beautiful scenery. We definitely recommend the trip and the time of year, because there was still some snow to play in.

Reflection of Mt Rainer
We stopped here on the way down from Paradise to get a reflection of Rainier. Unfortunately there were to may ripples in the lake to get a good reflection - but no matter - the photo ops were still awesome
