We "ditch the script" to provide you an authentic Northwest sightseeing experience .

This service is perfect for groups with elderly people who struggle to keep pace with a larger group or families of young children who may inconvenience others in a public tour setting. This tour is suited for the luxury traveler who expects the guide to move at their speed as opposed to having to move at the guide or group's speed. This service is best suited for those who don't want to meet at a public meeting place and wait for the driver to arrive. We will come directly to you and wait for you to be ready to leave. Entertaining and educational tour direction & itinerary management from an expert local guide. We don't travel on Freeways, only side streets.

See how Seattle lives- an overview with top sites!

We had a wonderful morning with our guide, Tyler, who showed us the many neighborhoods of Seattle. It was nice to see how the people really live “up close and personal”. We had 4 people and our drive was all around the city. We were able to get all of our questions answered and it was such a beautiful day as well. This is mostly a drive around tour without much walking, but we got lots of photos of the city, Mt Ranier, the coastline, etc.
