Top Seattle Day Trips

Fascinating history about the development of Seattle and touring part of the old city beneath the streets. Our tour guide, Sarah, was a highlight- so much information delivered quickly but easily heard and understood. Her knowledge was endless. She could carry a bar trivia team on her own. Go Mariners!

Tour was outstanding!! Ask for Ken, he was very informative, knowledgeable and funny. As a native of the area there is little he doesn’t know. The mountains, waterfalls, scenery were all beautiful. It was worth every penny to take the day to explore Mt Rainier from Seattle.

Enjoyed the small group trip to Mt Ranier with pickup at hotel which was very convenient. Slava, our driver and guide, was excellent. Although we could not see the mountain due to weather we still enjoyed all of the stops and wonderful pictures that we took. Highly recommend this tour.

Silas was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. A great variety of stops and tastings along the tour. The tour gave us the opportunity to find a few shops we may not have found on our own. We even backtracked and made multiple purchases after the tour ended.

Visited with adult kids and family — and this combo ticket exceeded all expectations. Chihuly Garden & Glass was the real standout. The sheer scale of the glass works is breathtaking: enormous sculptures suspended from the ceiling and spread across the floor, vibrant colors catching the light in ways photos simply cannot capture. Don't skip the live glassblowing demonstration — it adds a whole other dimension to the experience. The Space Needle itself is smaller than it looks in pictures, but don't let that put you off. The open-air glass elevator ride to the top, the rotating glass floor, and the second level with food and drinks all make for a genuinely memorable visit. The views of Seattle are spectacular, and the design of the observation deck feels fresh and modern. Highly recommend for visitors of any age — just note that those with significant mobility challenges may find some areas tricky to navigate. Get the combo ticket; you won't regret it.

It was a perfect day for this trip! Mark, our driver and tour guide was awesome! He was very patient and made sure we got enough time for each spot in Mt. Rainier! He added some spots that made everything perfect! I highly recommend this day-trip from Seattle!!! 10/10

Wear layers and good walking shoes or hiking boots. Be prepared for a great time! Our guide Kevin was the best! His knowledge of the national park and especially native American legend wowed us. We experienced so many different ecosystems in one day....the coast, the deep beautiful forest, the lakes, rugged mountains, waterfalls. Kevin knew where to stop for breaks and food. We had ample time to explore yet he kept us on schedule. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Our guide, John was wonderful! During the drive there and back, he pointed out places of interest and gave us some history of the area. Same during the actual hikes. He was patient with the slower members of the group. The trails were beautiful and challenging. One had to watch where you put your feet; lots of rocks and tree roots to navigate. Hiking shoes are a must. There is some long elevation to climb. Definitely not a hike for those out of shape (and the excursion description does warn of this.) Loved the old growth forests we hired through.
