Vancouver Highlights Day Tour from Seattle

Alexandra_Z, Oct 2026

Great family fun…even for teens!

We had a great time! Chris communicated with us the day before with a reminder of the details and picked our family up right on schedule the day of. He educated us along the drive and made the whole experience wonderful. He was very kind and provided snacks and water too! Highly recommend! Even our teens (16, 14, and 11) had fun and they’re a tough crowd!

Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour from Seattle

JENNIFER_D, Oct 2026

A great day out!

I did my research ahead of time by calling the number listed on the app before I booked for our group. We wanted to know about the length and level of the hiking trails, and were also interested in how the wineries we would visit would be determined. Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable on all of the places we visited. He gave us options along the way and as very open to what each member of our group wanted to do. His genuine interest in us having a good day really made us feel at ease and it flowed seamlessly.

Make this happen!

Only have one day? You CAN experience Olympic!!! And Marc will take you there! It was incredible and he was awesome!! He kept us on task and efficiently kept us moving to see it all!! He was so knowledgeable, funny and treated us like family. This park is a must see on your bucket list— the rain forests were amazing and seeing the crisp blue of the great Pacific Ocean was incredible. The last stop at the lake was short but soo worth it. Let Marc handle it all and make this day happen!!

Kathryn was a great guide...

Kathryn was a great guide around the market! We loved hearing about the history of the market and trying local foods. The clam chowder truly was the best clam chowder we’ve ever had. The market is truly a unique place and the tour was a great overview of some of the top highlights.

Whale Watching Tour from Anacortes

Carolyn_C, Aug 2026

Great Experience

It was a beautiful day on the water and we had great views of a pod of orca. They were very playful, and our boat captain did an excellent job of keeping us close enough to enjoy the pod and take plenty of pictures. We also saw seals, a sea otter and sea lions. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great experience that was deeply satisfying. My family continues to talk about what a wonderful day it was.

Elizabeth_W, Aug 2026

Coincidence? I Don’t Think So!

Our tour guide Queen was very knowledgeable about the local lore. She didn’t just tell us, she enacted she modeled, and made us ponder the paranormal. She made this tour to be very interactive. She provided ghost chat boxes and K2 meters to add to the fun!

Seattle Sailing Harbor Tour

Ann_R, Aug 2026

One of my favorites.

This is one of my favorite experiences from our trip. This was a beautiful way to get views of Mt. Rainier, Seattle, and the Sound. The crew was very accommodating and had lots of information. Note: This is not a guided tour. But I found it to be invigorating and peaceful at the same time. I really recommend this tour. It was just beautiful.

Exquisite Creatures Exhibit By Christopher Marley

Susan_H, Aug 2026

Mind-blowing beauty, revealed in its natural glory

Absolutely incredible! The imagination and artistry it took to conceive of and execute this exhibit is extraordinary, and I was blown away by the beauty of what was assembled and how it was highlighted. The short movie at the beginning really adds to the overall experience, too - it’s not just for timing and crowd management! I wish I lived closer to- I’d go see this again and again and again! Can’t wait to come back and bring my kids!

Mount Rainier Customized Tour from Seattle

ThomasB_G, July 2026

Perfect day trip!

Our tour was exactly what was advertised on Viator. The vehicle was clean, snacks were provided, and all stops were accounted for. The highlight of the tour was our guide, Slava. He is a Renaissance man. He carries a knowledge and outlook that is vast. He noted vegetation, rock formations, and animals throughout our journey. He has wonderful sense of humor, and insight. Slava, was a professional town car driver for many years, and used the skills he acquired at that profession to navigate us out, around, and back to Seattle. Thanks Viator & Slava for delivering a wonderful adventure. It was unforgettable!
