Seattle Highlights Tour

What a brilliant tour if you’ve never been to Seattle. Just the right amount of information to absorb and as someone from the UK learnt so much about companies choosing to establish themselves in the city. At the fishermen’s harbour, the salmon sandwich was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend as the guide was so insightful and knowledgeable. Well worth the money

Lee_M, Jul 2026
