Fun & Yummy Tour

This was such a fun tour, and I’m so glad I booked this. My 17 year old daughter and I went on the Pike Place food tour, and it was great. Chef Rob Bob was hilarious, and he shared a lot of history about the market. We got to taste so much yummy food. Don’t hesitate to book… I would go again in a heartbeat.

Seattle: Half-Day Wildlife and Whale Watching Cruise

Good experience

Great experience. The boat ride was so smooth. I usually get seasick, but this was not an issue. Drinks and salad I bought on board were good. They send you a link with photos of the wildlife so you can focus on viewing instead of trying to get a good shot.

Mt. Rainier National Park Highlights Tour

Miho_M, Sep 2026

5-Star Tour guide!

The tour guide is well experienced. While the weather in the mountain varies during a day, he brings guests to each view spot depending on the whether. In our case, it was rainy and could not see anything in the morning, but the guide cycled back to a few view point and showed us different scenes

Had a great day exploring...

Had a great day exploring Mt. Rainier with Josh! He was very knowledgeable, not just about the national park, but also Seattle’s history, which made the drive more interesting. We made it to all the main spots at Rainier, and the tour was well paced. Communication was easy, and everything went pretty smoothly. We also got lucky with the weather and had a clear view of the peak. Josh knew some good spots for photos too. Would recommend the trip!

Worth it!

Our guide, Andreas, was professional, personal, and patient during the whole trip. He was very good at explaining how to maximize our time at each stop with safety tips and directions. He was challenged several times by a couple that were late retuning to the bus. He actively, looked for them and remained respectful and patient. Solid company, met expectations for experience and customer service. Took the time and stress out of planning the trip.

Great guide

Our guide David was awesome I loved his sense of humor and appreciated his knowledge of the area. I was kind of disappointed underneath the streets I was hoping it would have been set up with what was down there originally. Store fonts or businesses or whatever was originally down there. I felt like we just walked through a basement

Awesome! Don’t miss this!

It was wonderful! The venue was easy to get to from our hotel… we walked, although we could have taken the monorail. It was fun, informative and a total tourist destination, which we LOVED, LOL! We got the combo ticket for the IMAX, Space Needle, and Chihuly Garden and Exhibit. It was all amazing! We spent over an hour at the top of the needle, taking photos and people watching… so fun! We had a drink from the cafe and took in the views. We then went to the Chihuly Exhibit and to the cafe to eat there. The Garden was worth every second! We would highly recommend! ( The Cafe/ Bar was awesome, too! We had crab dip and drinks as an afternoon snack. The food was fantastic and the waitstaff were friendly and efficient!) Don’t miss these attractions!

Leavenworth Exclusive Tour from Seattle

LornaMarie_K, Sep 2026

Fun day out

I had a wonderful day. Silas was a great guide and gave lots of local information along the way. It was fun to see Harry, the falls and Leavenworth. We had plenty of time to explore the town, water front (which Silas let the group know about) and get lunch. He was happy to answer any questions and get involved with my random conversations. I did this solo and highly recommend if you are on your own or in a group. The scenary there was beautiful too. I have fallen in love with the state of Washington.

Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour from Seattle

Angela_C, Aug 2026

Great Tour

We had such a wonderful experience on our Seattle excursion to Snoqualmie Falls and the winery! Daniel, our driver and tour guide, was absolutely fantastic. He communicated with us by text both the day before and the day of the excursion, so we always knew exactly what to expect. Daniel was kind, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the area. Throughout the drive, he shared interesting commentary and information about the places we were seeing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He also went out of his way to take pictures of everyone in the group so we could have memories from the day without always having to ask someone else to take our photos. One of the nicest surprises was that he welcomed each of us with a snack bag that included water, cookies, pretzels, and peanuts. I’ve been on quite a few excursions and have never had a guide do something like that. It was such a thoughtful touch and really showed the level of care Daniel puts into his tours. Between beautiful Snoqualmie Falls, the winery, and having such a great guide, this was a wonderful way to spend the day. I would definitely recommend this excursion, and especially Daniel, to anyone visiting the Seattle area!

Vancouver Highlights Day Tour from Seattle

Zulfiyya_G, Aug 2026

Very beautiful trip

We had a wonderful and very professional one-day trip from Seattle to Vancouver, BC. The tour bus was a full-size, very comfortable which made the long journey enjoyable and relaxing. Our tour guide, Chris, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He made our first trip to Canada truly enjoyable and memorable from beginning to end. Even though the tour lasted about 10 to 11 hours, the time flew by because of the great experience he provided. Thank you, Chris, for making our trip so special! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and stress-free visit to Vancouver.
