The PERFECT way to see Rainier if you don’t have access to a car. Our tour guide, John, was so knowledgeable and kind and took us to so many great spots. You could tell that he really loved the park and wanted us to have a great time. We loved having the free time to walk around and explore on our own at Paradise. It was a great mix of being with the group while also getting to do some of your own adventuring. Highly recommend!!!

We were blessed to have an absolutely beautiful day.
Our tour guide Jeff was wonderful . Knowledgeable, many anecdotes about the city , and the history. Also took us through many of the the surrounding communities and their contributions to the growth of Seattle. His personal connection to the area comes through in his commentary.
Very friendly. Would highly recommend this tour and Jeff for first timers who want to start with. Feel for Seattle.

We had the most wonderful tour of Seattle before our departure on Princess Cruise down west coast. Out tour guide Doug was just great. He took us to sites in every direction and was so knowledgable and interesting. He did talks us to a coffee shop for Seattle coffee which my companion was very happy. And it was not Starbucks. I will mention your tours to my friends and hope they follow through.

I was in Seattle for a short period of time and wanted to get out of the city for a day. Being female and traveling alone, I wanted to be able to tour with other people as well as enjoy some free time on my own. This tour delivered. There was a nice mix of people of all different ages and I was the only single person in the group. It was very easy to engage with others as well as enjoy the beauty of Rainier alone. The tour was prompt on pickup and flexible on drop off locations. They offer a variety of hiking trails from easy to moderate for your free time (just short of 2 hours) as well highlights of the park. I am very happy that I chose this tour, as my original thought of driving there and exploring by myself would have been a logistical nightmare as well as exhausting. This tour is a great alternative to experience and enjoy a national park without the stress of planning your visit.

The Driver picked us up at our hotel that morning and proceeded to the tour. Our driver (Ken) was amusing and highly knowledgeable on the Seattle area. He took time to stop and show us the more interesting sites in Seattle and provided interesting facts of the sites we were taken to. And best of all, he was well versed in the traffic and routes and i did not have to try to drive in and around Seattle. It was well worth the price.

POSTED ON August 20, 2022

From the first meeting with Bryan D. we KNEW this was going to be a great tour. Knowledgeable about the city, the history and the region, we had the best tour en famille we have ever had. Comfortable vehicle. Safe driver, very attentive to our questions ( of which there were many!). To see Seattle from the perspective of a local professional guide (Bryan has been doing this for over 14 years …his skill is evident !) was worth every penny. In our time together we toured all the major areas and neighborhoods in with great detail and to the “characters” that built Seattle’s industries and technologies. Viewing the city from many vista outlook areas gave the true perspective on the lay of the land. From Pike’s Market area, through the business centers to the glorious residential areas to the port areas, we now understand the magic that Seattle holds for the citizens. For anyone taking a vacation here or a cruise from the port, THIS tour is THE tour to reserve. Customized to whatever wants to see that come up during our conversations. “Let me show you that area” was the credo. Yes, Bryan has his sights he wishes to ensure we see, but he went out of his way for a couple mystical areas like t6he floating homes ( and floating bridges) and the lakes areas. Thank you Bryan D. for a day to remember and nan education about your fine city. Bravo! Highly recommended. A MUST do tour … “fer sure eh” as we might say as Canadian guests ! Merci beaucoup de Montreal to Seattle.

Had an amazing time during the Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle. Our tour guide Andreas was awesome! He was enthusiastic, friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend. We went to great spots for photos, and at times it felt like we were the only people at some locations. Also appreciated the stop at the grocery store to grab food to pack in the cooler and eat later for lunch with a view. Beautiful and breathtaking. Five stars all around.

Our experience was wonderful from the moment we were picked up by Rick through to the moment he dropped us off! What an informative, kind, respectful and easy going tour guide! My wife and I learned so much that day about Seattle and Mount Rainier! We got to see wildlife, beautiful waterfalls, learn about the mountain, nearby towns, its history, glaciers, etc. Even encouraging all of us on the tour to get to know each other was nice as well! We left feeling like we made a great decision trusting Northwest tours with our limited time in Seattle. It was well worth the time and cost! Hope to use this company again for another tour when we return in the future. Thanks again!

My husband & I booked this tour unsure of what our experience would be like, as we aren’t hikers. This trip is for any and everyone. We were blown away by all the stops & sights, and we got some once in a lifetime experiences. Gary was fantastic and super informative. He guided my husband to a spot to take one of our best pics from the day: an amazing picture at Reflection Lake. Paradise was our favorite spot as a whole and we got the rare experiences of seeing a bear! And the Huckleberry ice cream is a must have!

I looked at many tours online and chose Tours Northwest mostly on faith. There were tours at double the price that provided food and a swankier van. I was pleased that Tours Northwest had a very nice vehicle and am certain that our guide Andreas had twice the enthusiasm of the guides on the pricier tours. Andreas was relentless in sharing his knowledge and love of the Northwest in general and Rainier specifically, great tour!

Our tour guide, Gary, was excellent. He drove our van with extra care. I noticed he made a complete stop at every intersection and rail crossings, even when there was no other traffic visible on either side of the road. He is the best in terms of explaining in detail about why he was making a certain stop. He would point out the best venues to see the best view of the mountain and surrounding areas. He was very funny and talkative, which made our 10 hour long tour pass by quickly.

We had such a good time. It was our first trip to Seattle and we were there to go on a Cruise. We wanted to get a taste of Seattle and our tour did that job well. The driver picked us up promptly from our Hotel and at the end of the tour dropped us off at our ship. We traveled all over downtown and then went out in the suburbs. Our driver gave us and idea of home prices and told us about the neighborhoods. He took us to the “best view of the Space Needle” in Seattle. We loved this tour. An excellent way to start a cruise!

I recently did the Mt. Rainier tour with Tours Northwest and had Lucinda as my tour guide. It was quite a crazy and fickle day, weather-wise, but that’s how it is on the mountain. Lucinda was filled with excellent knowledge about Seattle, Native American lore, wildlife, and more. All this information while driving, to boot! I enjoyed having a snack stop, picture taking stops, and full 2.5 hours at Paradise Visitor Center to hike and have lunch. On the drive back was a back country stop at Wapiti Outdoors for some huckleberry ice cream, coffee, and last minute souvenirs. Thank you Lucinda and Tours Northwest for an awesome day!
