I attended this tour with my best friend when I was visiting her in Seattle, and this was the best part of my trip! We got to see amazing views of Mt. Rainier, had a change to go snowshoeing (which I never thought I would do in my life), hiked to a gorgeous waterfall, and visited 2 wineries with beautiful views and delicious wine! Although it was a long day, it was so worth it for everything that was included in the tour. Our tour guide, Sarah, was phenomenal! She shared a ton of information about Seattle, Washington, the places we stopped or passed by on the tour, and everything in between. She was so informative and made me feel like I was learning in a fun way! I also loved the snacks and meals provided on the trip. Breakfast and an amazing gourmet lunch were provided, as well as a giant picnic basket of snacks that we had access to the entire trip. This tour was definitely worth every penny, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Hiking with breathtaking views and wine
Karen_R, Oct 2022
Highly recommend! Kevin, our tour guide picked us up bright and early with pep in his step. As we drove to Mt. Rainier, he told us about the history, culture and weather/climate. He made extra stops to show us wild life and beautiful scenic views. The morning coffee and pastries were yummy. We hiked Nisqually Vista Trail and it was absolutely breathtaking (literally for me, but worth every step). We ate our homemade lunch at the picnic area. It was so very good! After lunch, we stopped at two wonderful wineries, Owen Roe and Fortuity Cellars for a wine tasting adventure. Both wineries showcased what Yakima Valley had to offer with their personal touch.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hi Karen, Thanks for sharing! Very happy to hear you thoroughly enjoyed your Mt. Rainier and Yakima Valley Wine tasting tour with Kevin! The differences between Western and Eastern Washington are really astonishing, and it's interesting to compare the two! Hope to see you again soon! Cheers, DJ Bergquist Guest Experience & Sales Manager | Evergreen Escapes
Rip off
Whitney_L, Sep 2022
Was sick the morning of the hike after potentially being exposed to Covid and Viator/this company denied a refund request. $600 loss and still unable to attend the hike. Obviously they are more concerned about money than customer service.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi Whitney, I am very sorry to hear that you were unable to travel with us. Viator has a 24 hour cancellation policy, and since you called just a couple of hours prior to your tour to cancel, you were not eligible for a refund for your tour. Despite Viator's cancellation policy, our team did offer to rebook your reservation for a different date so that you could still partake in the tour, which you declined. I understand this is a frustrating situation, and would like to try to do what I can to help you. While I can't offer a refund since you booked through a third party (Viator), I am able to offer you two gift certificates for a future tour with us. Please give me a call at (206) 650-5795 or send us an email to bookings@evergreenescapes.com and we can go from there. Kind regards, DJ Bergquist Guest Experience & Sales Manager | Evergreen Escapes 206.650.5795 | www.evergreenescapes.com
Great Tour - Highly Recommend
Justina_E, Sep 2022
This was the best thing my husband and I could have done while visiting Seattle! Kevin was a great guide and went out of his way to show us and tell us about Washington state. He pointed out points of interest along the drive, stopped at some great places to get photos, and answered all of our questions about the nature and fauna in Mt. Rainier National Park! He was a great guide and photographer when we were hiking. Our picnic was great as were the wineries we went to after our hike. Overall, highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle! It was a great way for us to end our trip.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thanks for sharing your tour experience, Justina! So glad you both had such a great time on your tour to Mt. Rainier National Park and the Yakima Valley. Hope Kevin got some great shots of you both! Cheers, DJ Guest Experience & Sales Manager | Evergreen Escapes

Highly recommend! Every detail was taken care of. The hike was beautiful. The wine was delicious. All in all, a fun group trip. Ben was an incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable guide and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a good time. Thank you, Ben

Cynthia_M, Aug 2022
We had a wonderful group, the lunch and treat were delicious! Kevin, our guide, was very nice, considerate, accommodating, and patient. We would have liked to have been given a little more history of the area. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Cynthia, Thanks for sharing! We are sorry we fell short on your expectations for more history/information about the area. Hopefully we see you again in the future! Kind regards, DJ | Evergreen Escapes

Fantastic Tour
Whitney_M, Jul 2022
Sarah was AMAZING. This was a great tour and I will recommend it to any of my friends visiting Seattle. The breakfast and lunch tasted wonderful and it was so much fun immersing myself in nature. I took this as a solo trip and I felt so welcomed the entire time. The waterfall and snowshoe experience is something I will always treasure. I definitely plan on booking through this company again. 10/10. Thank you Sarah and Marjorie for a wonderful time.

A perfect day of hiking and exploring in the Cascades
Erica_P, Oct 2021
This excursion was worth every penny. Karen was a phenomenal guide- extremely knowledgeable, friendly, very communicative. Pick up was easy and she kept us on time throughout the day. The hikes were manageable and the views were stunning. It's exactly the nature experience I was hoping for. Lunch was really good; I was half expecting some deli sandwiches and chips, but this was a legitimate, plated lunch- curried chicken breast, smoked mozzarella pasta salad, Asian-style green beans, and tofu. Karen had plenty of snacks and drinks for us. The tastings at the wineries was a nice way to end the trip, and the drive from the west to the east side of the Cascades to get there was gorgeous to see. I'd love to do this excursion with friends next time I'm in Seattle.
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Thanks for the kind words, Erica! I absolutely love seeing the transition from western to eastern Washington and learning about why the two sides are so vastly different! Thanks for traveling with Evergreen Escapes, Kenzi
Amazing Trip!!!
Rhianna_M, Oct 2021
Wow! I can't even being to express what an incredible tour this was. My best friend & I (in our 30's for reference) booked this together and all we continue to say is what an absolutely perfect day it was. We began our morning with a timely pickup from our hotel, about a 1.5 hour drive where we were given a wealth of knowledge about all of our surroundings. We then made stops to see Mt. Ranier, sip hot coffee & snack on some morning pastries, go on hikes to waterfalls, and walks through beautiful moss-covered forests. After our morning adventures, we stopped to have a perfectly planned lunch with delicious food & a beautiful view. If you like cookies, we RAVED about the ones provided at lunch! Shortly after, we made our way to the Yakima Valley to sip wine in the sunshine at a Fortuity winery & followed by Owen Roe vineyard. We were given a wealth of knowledge about wine, grapes, notes of the wine & how to taste it, and even pick some fresh apples. We finished up our day with snacks & then made our way back to Seattle. While we saw amazing sights and tasted amazing wine, what truly made our day spectacular, was our tour guide, Kevin. When I say he is the best tour guide I've ever had, I mean it. I've been on many, many tours & this one takes the cake. He is knowledgeable, friendly and an absolute BLAST (also, not a bad van karaoke singer)! There were five people total on the tour and he catered to each of our likings to the best of his abilities. Some of us were quiet, some of us were friendly and some of us were the life of the party (ha!). Kevin has a true passion for what he does and you can immediately recognize that he loves it. When you take a tour like this, it makes all of the difference when your guide is as dedicated and passionate as Kevin. I can honestly say I wouldn't change even one thing about our trip. Take this tour and make sure Kevin is your guide!!!
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Rhianna, Thank you so much for such heartwarming words about your experience and your guide, Kevin. You are so right about a passionate guide making all the difference, and if Kevin brings anything to his tours - its passion!! I am so happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience and I hope we have the opportunity of traveling with you again in the future! Kind regards, Kenzi, Evergreen Escapes
Great way to experience Ranier!
Michael_D, Sep 2021

Can't beat a sunny day at Mount Rainier with delicious wine to wrap up the experience! Thank you for joining us, Kenzi Evergreen Escapes | Seattle WA
Favorite part of our trip!
Sheena_T, Aug 2021
Kevin was the best tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and made the day trip so much fun. You could really tell he loved his job and enjoyed showing visitors around his state. I would rate the experience 6/5 if I could!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for the extra star and extra special review. It means a lot to our team here at Evergreen Escapes! Cheers, Kenzi Evergreen Escapes | Seattle WA
Ben’s the best!
Gabriel_A, Aug 2021
Viator delivered AGAIN! This was my 2nd trip in two weeks that I booked through Viator, and I was extremely pleased. Our guide, Ben, was amazing. Ben was very thoughtful and wonderfully planned treats/food for the trip. He even made a pit stop for some fresh Rainer cherries for the group.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hi Gabriel! I am glad you had such a wonderful experience with Ben on this tour and that you were able to find us through Viator! For a bit of context, viator is simply a booking platform. All of the tours you book on here are actually owned and operated by small businesses local to the area you are visiting. Nevertheless, we are grateful you found us and had a wonderful time and appreciate that you chose to travel with Evergreen Escapes! Kind regards, Kenzi Evergreen Escapes | Seattle WA
Above and Beyond
Kelsey_S, Jul 2021
BEN was the STAND OUT of the entire day. He was funny, personable, knowledgeable, courteous, respectful, and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure our day exceeded expectations and it ended up being the BEST part of our trip to Seattle!
Good communication standards
Joan_A, Jul 2021
I couldn't go but, what I can say is that the people were super communicative and they tried to locate me but, unfortunately I was not able. Next time when I came back I will take the tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Hi Joan! We're very sorry that you missed your tour and we look forward to seeing you the next time you are in Seattle! Thanks for the kind review anyway. Clare, Evergreen Escapes
Tough hike
Hitoshi S, Oct 2019
Hiking in a snow trail, so very tough. But, it was rewarding... Next time, want to try in a summer season.
Response from Host, Oct 2019
Hi Hitoshi, Thank you for sharing your review! I'm glad you found the hike rewarding despite the early snows on the trail! If you have a moment, we'd love to learn what we could've done to earn that 5th star from you! We hope to see you for a summer trip sometime! Thanks very much for traveling with us, Clare, Evergreen Escapes
Best tour ever - MUST SEE!
Christina_S, Oct 2019
Kevin was an amazing tour guide. We hiked a beautiful path of Mt. Rainier to a stunning waterfall, passed several different and changing landscapes of Washington state, went to 2 fantastic Yakima vineyards, and made some great friends along the way. We even had a home cooked lunch overlooking a river. This tour is a can't miss, must see. If you're lucky, you'll have Kevin as your guide as well! Although, I'm sure they're all fantastic!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for the recommendation! I love that transition as well, its an incredible journey from western to eastern washington. Thanks for choosing to travel with Evergreen Escapes! Cheers, Kenzi Evergreen Escapes | Seattle WA
