This was such an awesome way to experience the Boeing factory if you are staying in downtown Seattle. Our shuttle was very comfortable and easy to locate at the Hyatt for pick up. Our tour guide, Casey, was excellent! He made sure we were all very comfortable, was a great driver, and provided excellent commentary on the drive down to the factory. He had even pre-prepared a high-quality audio recording, giving a full background and history of the Boeing company. We had a great time at the museum and on the tour and had plenty of time to browse the gift shopped afterwards. One of the guests on our tour was running about 20 minutes late and Casey very graciously waited for him to arrive before taking off, and gave us some extra time afterwards to make sure we were able to do everything we wanted to do. On the way back we had the option of a couple different drop-off spots, which was really nice! We could choose the space needle, Pike Place market, the aviation museum, or back to the Hyatt where we were picked up. This was an excellent surprise and fit our afternoon plans well after the tour! If you can request Casey for your tour guide, we would highly recommend him! Overall, this was a great experience and one we would highly recommend!

5 Stars – Another Outstanding Day with Evergreen Escapes After having such an amazing experience with Evergreen Escapes at Mount Rainier earlier in the week, we booked a second tour with them to Olympic National Park—and somehow they exceeded our expectations again. Our guide for this trip was Claire, and she was absolutely fantastic. With a background in Marine Biology and Environmental Science, she brought so much depth to everything we saw throughout the day. It wasn't just a sightseeing tour; it felt like getting a personal lesson from an expert who was genuinely passionate about the region. Whether we were driving through the park, hiking through the forest, or taking in the mountain views, Claire was constantly sharing interesting information about the ecosystems, wildlife, geology, and history of the area. We visited Hurricane Ridge, explored beautiful old-growth forests, and enjoyed some incredible scenery throughout the day. One thing we really appreciate about Evergreen Escapes is their small-group approach. Because the groups are small, there's flexibility to adapt the day based on weather conditions, timing, and the interests of the guests. At the start of the tour, Claire asked if there were any specific places people wanted to see. I had seen photos online of a beautiful spot along the water and showed them to her, not really expecting anything to come of it. To my surprise, she immediately recognized the location and knew exactly where the photos had been taken. Even better, after we completed everything already planned on the itinerary, Claire realized that spot was nearby and found a way to fit it into our day. She took us there, pointed out the best areas to explore, and gave us time to enjoy it on our own. It ended up being one of my favorite stops of the entire trip. What impressed me most was that Claire didn't just drive us from place to place—she truly listened to what the group was interested in and went the extra mile to make the experience special. Everyone in our group loved the additional stop, and her knowledge and enthusiasm made every location even more memorable. After two tours with Evergreen Escapes in the same week, I can confidently say this is one of the best tour companies we've ever traveled with. Their guides are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure guests have an incredible experience. A huge thank-you to Claire and the entire Evergreen Escapes team. If you're visiting Seattle and considering a trip to Olympic National Park, don't hesitate to book with them—you'll see amazing places, learn a tremendous amount, and come away with memories you'll never forget.

This was a well organized tour. Chip was really friendly & knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Pike Market, a non-profit organization that has a very close-knit community. The board that regulates the vendors keep a balance of vendor offerings. We sampled food from several places that have been at the market for a long time, including Beechers Cheese, Farvahar Persianan Cafe, & the dish fish market . All four of us agreed that our favorites were the chowder from Pike Chowder and gelato from Bottega Italiana.
