What are people saying about Seattle

Neal_D, Aug 2026

This tour exceeded our expectations

We planned a full day in Seattle before leaving on our Alaska cruise. We sought out a tour of Pikes Place Market because many of our friends told us that it was the one thing we HAD to do if in Seattle for only a day. This tour and our tour guide exceeded our expectations. Our guide introduced himself and explained that he was a trained chef and had grown up in the Market. He took pictures for everyone at key points along the route. We sampled wonderful foods from 8+ vendors and the stories our tour guide shared while he was growing up in the Market were riveting. When our 2-hour tour concluded at noon my wife and I had already had our mid-day meal for the day.

Beneath The Streets Underground History Tour

AnneSophie_W, Aug 2026

Fun, quick and unexpected

We wanted an activity that we had not already done in a prior trip, did not require a huge time commitment or traveling out of downtown. The tour is pretty quick -quite a few steep stairs and small spaces - and full of fun facts about Seattle that will stay with you and make you see the city with new eyes. Guides are fun and knowledgeable.

Guided forest hike to Seattle waterfalls incl. Snoqualmie Falls

robert_r, Aug 2026

Seattle nature afternoon hike.

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.

Colleen_S, Aug 2026

Awesome tour!

My family loved this tour. Joel is the man!! He is awesome! He is so kind, professional and fun. He was very knowledgeable about the national park and took the time to answer questions. He took us around to spots that he knew we would be able to enjoy and to take pictures. He even helped my two little girls get sworn in as junior park rangers! So fun! We appreciated everything he did.

Jill_H, Aug 2026

My brother and I did this...

My brother and I did this tour as part of our Seattle visit and got more than we expected. Mehrdad navigated the falls as well as several Seattle attractions (a bonus!) with ease. He offered transport to Woodinville wineries of interest but we opted to stay at Chateau St. Michelle and walk to the whiskey distillery. It was so nice to have a knowledgeable and courteous guide!

Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle

Wai_Y, Jul 2026

It was great to be picked...

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.

Great choice!

This is a long day but an efficient way to see numerous sights. Well worth it! It would be hard to replicate this on your own so let someone else worry with the ferry schedule, the driving, and food! Very attentive to comfort and the food. Lunch and snacks were delicious and plentiful.

This was worth every penny! So peaceful, beautiful and very informative! We purchased the pre-board tickets so that we could ensure being on the top deck. Highly recommend doing this, as there’s limited seating. The crew is very friendly and helpful with my disabled husband. I just can’t say enough about how fantastic this cruise was!!! A lifelong dream was fulfilled! Thank you so much!

Olympic National Park Small Group Day Tour w/Scenic Ferry 2CanGo

Anna_K, Jul 2026

Good First Visit to Olympic National Park

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.
