See Seattle in one day, from Kerry Park and Pike Place Market to two high-rise viewpoints, with small-group transport and local food.

“We enjoyed what we saw and appreciated that there were only 3 total customers plus our driver, Jennifer. We ended up seeing something not on our specific agenda as there was a mix up of which actual tour we had signed up for. Likewise, I think we didn’t see something else. Jennifer’s accent made it hard for us to understand everything she was sharing. Overall, we enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to others.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 11 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $685

Review of a private Mt Rainier SUV tour from Bellevue, with waterfalls, Paradise, Reflection Lakes, guide notes, pricing, and practical tips.

“Mt. Raninier was spectacular to see. My best friend and I really enjoyed the trip itself. However, I was disappointed with the "bait & switch" we were victims of when we scheduled a personalized solo guided tour. We were initially quoted $520 and then told that we would have 2 other tourists joining us. When we explained that a personalized solo trip should only have included us, especially for that price, we were given some excuse for a misunderstanding.

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 6 reviews · 9 hours · from $285

Spend nine hours exploring Mount Rainier from Seattle, with Paradise views, old-growth forest, waterfalls, Reflection Lakes, and a small group guide.

“Pretty ordinary. Driver was over 30 minutes late with no communication. Driver provided no real commentary. For a private tour and the amount we paid, we could not recommend this tour. Apart from that, Mt Rainier was covered in fog for the whole day so couldn’t really see anything. That was not the tour company’s fault though.”
