“Evan was a great tour leader for this all day tour to Mt Rainier. He communicated well with all on the tour picking up on all names from the outset. He encouraged all passengers to introduce themselves to others in the group which helped pass the travel distance. Then we got into the sightseeing and background information with some great photo opportunities. A good driver and brought the best out of the group in sharing and assisting each other. He again kept us entertained on the return journey with personal music selections. A day full of fond memories. John”

Review of the Olympic National Park day tour from Seattle, including the Bainbridge ferry, Hurricane Ridge, Lake Crescent, lunch, and practical tips.
“Long periods of dead air where the “tour guide” could be giving information or guiding the tour, but instead there is silence over the nearly 6 hours total of riding in the van. No preliminary introduction to any of the sites visited. The sections of the national park themselves are beautiful, but for something of this price one should expect that beauty to be grounded in history and interesting facts, of which none were given because our “tour guide” instead decided his time would be better spent on his phone in the van, sleeping, or walking so far ahead of the group that we couldn’t see him until we reached…”

“The trip was wonderful, our guide Ken was awesome, he was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. I learned a lot. And also the other guests in the tour were such nice people! I had the greatest day. We went to most places with the tour bus. Then we made stops at viewing points, where we took pictures and did small walks. Our guide Ken told us about the plants and the trees. We got to try the snow shoes on snow! Ken helped us with the snow shoes and he took his time to make sure we were safe and comfortable. I thank everyone involved specially Ken and…”

“Positives -the tour left on time from the Seattle Library, in a comfortable sprinter van -the driver/tour guide Duan was very nice -Mt. Rainer was beautiful & we were taken to most famous spots in the park -some time to do a small trail on our own Negatives -on aggregate narrations by the guide were about 10% in English 90% in Mandarin, which is totally fine but this should have been explicitly stated on the trip description. The guide would take a minute to talk about something we were driving by in English, and than 5-10 minutes for the same explanation in Mandarin. -we were not given any kind of…”
