Top Seattle Day Trips - page 5

We had an amazing experience hiking Mount Rainier with Cyrus as our tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kept everyone entertained with his great sense of humor throughout the day. He was punctual for pick-up, a safe and skilled driver, and even went above and beyond by offering to drop us off at different locations afterward, which was greatly appreciated. Cyrus also shared interesting history and facts about Mount Rainier, making the trip both fun and educational. He was always happy to take photos for us, making sure we captured some wonderful memories from the hike. Overall, Cyrus exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We will definitely book with Cyrus again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable Mount Rainier experience!

Kieran was an excellent guide for our Beneath The Streets Tour. It lasts about 70 min. He wasfilled with all the details of Seattle's beginnings andthe unique city beneath the streets. He kept the tour going at a good pace, but still time to answer questions sprionkled with a little levity.

This was a great trip to the Falls. We learned a great deal about the soqaumi falls area. It is a moderate with climbs that require a decent physical health and shoes. The guide was excellent and very experienced. The excursions was about 5 hours long with food beverage and restroom stops. Trails are rocky and require good footwear.

After our Norwegian Bliss cruise to Alaska disembarking around 8:15 AM - we realized our flight was not departing till 9:25 PM - so we needed something to do but we’ve already seen the Needle and Pike’s place when we arrived before the cruise. This falls and winery tour was the perfect answer and our tour guide from Okaytours, Mehrdad went above and beyond of all our expectations and even dropped us off at the airport at the end of the day hours before our departure which was perfect timing with going through TSA and grabbing dinner. I do suggest to take advantage of Norwegian’s Luggage service where they take your luggage directly to the airport on your behalf (does cost your airports luggage fees) much nicer with tour and no luggage. The other suggestion is also coordinate with your tour guide when to time reservation with Chateau Ste Michelle for wine tasting and lunch (You must have reservations there to attend wine tasting) We skipped the chocolate tour and opted to include a Whiskey tasting after the wine tasting/lunch at Woodinville Whiskey which is a few feet away from Chateau Ste Michelle. He then takes you around to famous landmarks and gorgeous water views.

It was great to be picked up just a few minutes away from our hotel, as we didn't want to rent a car during our trip in Seattle. Our guide, Ken, was waiting for our group at the designated spot. Before we headed off, Ken went over the flow of the day, including the rest stops we'd make and the itinerary in Mount Rainier. During the ride, we learned lots of fun facts about the city. We stopped at a supermarket midway to purchase food items and to use the restroom. Restroom stops are available every 60-90 minutes or so. The trip to Mount Rainer included many scenic stops and nature talks from Ken. The lengthiest stop was the one in Paradise, where we had about an hour and a half for lunch, some hiking, and checking out the gift shop. We also made another stop to check out more sights and visited a snack shop for ice cream. All in all, we enjoyed this trip to Mount Rainier. We appreciated that all the planning was done for us, and in a thoughtful manner. And of course, a shout out to Ken for going above and beyond to make our trip a comfortable and memorable one.

We highly recommend this tour, and saw interesting parts of Seattle we never expected, as well as all the "touristy" highlights. Ken, our tour guide had personal stories of landmarks and neighborhoods that really brought Seattle to life! Thank you Ken!!

This was very family friendly. I went with my 14 and 15-year-old. this could be a fun experience for all ages. Space needle was very pretty with gorgeous views all around. their café On the other hand was not great. Their food selection was very tight. And chuhuly Garden was beautiful all of the handmade glass blown objects were stunning and we got great pictures there overall this was a really fun experience and I would recommend both to friends and family.

Communicate early with your tour guide. Xander was a safe driver and organized once we were on the tour, but changed the pickup time the night before while we’re were already in bed after traveling from an eastern locale. He then called twice and woke us up. We appreciate that he notified us, but I had to reschedule my Lyft ride in the middle of the night to accommodate the new pickup time. A rough start to our first full day in Seattle. We truly loved the Hurricane Ridge and rain forest hike along Crescent Lake. More information regarding local lore, flora and fauna would be appreciated. Overall a wonderful Olympic experience.
