Traveler Tips

This is a must, especially if you don’t have a lot of time.

We opted to not get a car on this trip which made going outside of downtown a little more difficult for us.

I believe we covered most of the best parts of Seattle, and I recommend this tour to anyone looking for an easy and informative tour of this special city.

Tour guide was very...

Mitzi_C, Sep 2023

Highly recommend

Peter_G, Sep 2023

Frank was very informative on history & knew just what we would like to see. Very good driver & easy going. Very accommodating to let us off at closest place we needed. Great tour!

Guide was very knowledgeable, just didn’t make the stops we were interested in.

Glenda_S, Sep 2023

Fremont troll, Queen Ann neighborhood. However, the stops we made were not places that were that interesting except for the locks. I was disappointed that some great places were not even mentioned. I would have like to have stopped for a few minutes at Pike Market.

Seattle in the rain is just fine.

Ann_B, Sep 2023

Seeing the fish ladder was great. Jeff was very knowledgeable and clearly a fan of Seattle. I'm glad we saw so many neighborhoods as they are all unique. I've been to Seattle before, but never took a tour. I learned new things and recommend this tour.

Awesome fun tour!

Genevieve_S, Sep 2023

Jeff, the tour quide, was knowledgeable and fun with his stories of the area. The 3 hour tour was awesome with very interesting stops. Learned a lot of Seattle history. Highly recommend.

Great experience

Patricia_G, Sep 2023

Bryan was great. I learned so much about Seattle from him. Definitely would book tour again and will bring family.

Mr Settle was wonderful. You can tell that he enjoys his work

Eleanor_K, Sep 2023

The most memorable part was the clear weather and seeing the ghost of Mount Ranier in the distance. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Stress free, relaxing tour!

Nicholas_B, Sep 2023

Tour was fantastic! Bryan was a perfect tour guide! It was great to get to see the city of Seattle without the stress! Thank you!

Would never book again

Alyssa_C, Sep 2023

Was not able to go to the tour due to rain and traffic. They’re not flexible enough to issue a refund.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Alyssa, We're sorry you weren't able to join us on tour. You were scheduled for a 1:35p pickup at our first stop but never called to let us know you were running late. When we called you at 1:38pm, you told us you were still at your hotel and hadn't left yet. We gave you another pickup option for 1:55pm at our last stop but again we didn't hear from you that you were running late for that one. We called you at 1:57pm and you told us you were still at your hotel at that time as well. It wasn't until you asked for a refund that your story changed and you said you were delayed due to traffic and rain. We are happy to work with guests who are making an effort to join the tour, but you hadn't even left your hotel until after your scheduled pickup time, so even clear skies and open roads wouldn't have helped you get to the tour at a reasonable time.

Nice !!

Dahee_J, Sep 2023

Perfect choice to take a look whole Seattle in a day. Recommend to choose this tour in the beginning of your traveling. Then you can spend time more efficiently til the end of days.

Queen Anne’s neighborhood...

Queen Anne’s neighborhood and the salmon were fabulous. We really loved it all, and Jeff’s stories and information simply could not be beat.

The tour guide had extensive knowledge and selections for high quality Seattle coffee shops...none of which were Starbucks. That's a positive by the way.
