Great tour, beautiful sights! - A beautiful day trip and hike. The views can’t be beat and the hike is great and a little challenging (fun) if you’re not used to hills. Jon had a ton of info about the area and pointed out plant and wildlife.

A Lovely Hike to the Falls - I enjoyed my morning with Jonny, who was a lovely, kind, soft-spoken person who was always willing to help us out or take a picture, provide interesting information, and he was also a very safe driver. The hike itself was definitely a challenge for me, due to the uphill portions involved, but it was a clear path and we were able to go at our own pace, stop for breaks as needed, and I always felt that I was being looked out for when I had to take a break. The payoff was a hike through some amazing lush green forest, tall old-growth trees, and some of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen, including plenty of time to stop, take some pix, and take it all in. Pickup/dropoff at Zeitgeist Cafe was also a plus, centrally located and a nice place to have coffee before the hike as well as to regroup afterwards. A+

Visit to Snoqualmie Falls - We absolutely loved this tour. Beautiful, serene and as close to nature as can get. We were surrounded by lush foliage, viewed wonderful waterfalls and hiking experience was terrific. Our tour guide, Jonny, was great with pointing out sites of interest and took memorable photos that we will treasure for years to come. Anyone who takes this tour will be pleased with his guidance attentiveness.

Run to the top and Run back to the Van hope you been here before. - My wife and I went on this trip to see the falls. We had (Johnny as our guide) The Snoqualmie falls were great from the bottom location the top of the falls view was fogged in when we went. That is fine you can't help the weather still saw the falls from the bottom. We still hung out for while up at the top area (Not sure why since there was nothing to see). Then we moved over to twin falls. We had a run to the top our group had a couple that did half marathons and our guide Johnny decided run up the summit with them. We had a group of 7 and he left three of us behind. The hike is not too bad but the ground is uneven and rocky with tree roots along it. It’s hard to fast with uneven ground if you never been on the trail before. Also, I would have liked to go slower and look at more of the trees and plants. Maybe Johnny has seen them too many times but it was all new to us. We made it to the Top and turned around but Johnny took off and headed back to the van without three of us. My wife and I were making our way back down the hill just fine but another woman was having a hard time was barely making it she was sweating and having a hard time breathing. My wife and I helped her to make it down the trail. Johnny was nowhere to be found. He took the others to the Van but never came back to check on us. The one woman may have collapsed if we did not help her and walked with her back down the trail. So don't get Johnny for your guide unless you feel like walking the trail by yourself. If Johnny thought he was off schedule we should have left the foggy spot at Snoqualmie falls and headed for twin falls sooner. We would have liked to go slower up the trail so we could look around and not trip over the rocky trail. Also, some other group guides came by and provided more information than Johnny did while on our Run. If you are looking for a group tour to race up the hill with, get Johnny he can keep up with the marathoners. For the rest of us we would like to see the area that's why we paid to be guided. Supposed to be an easy trail and it is not bad as long as you’re not running it at the pace of the fastest people in the group. Thank you for leaving us on the trail Johnny. Johnny never even came back to check on us after he got the others to the van. If we had not helped the other woman get back, she may have collapsed and Johnny would have maybe left without her??? Don’t use Johnny as your guide.
