We are excited to announce the return of our Boeing Factory Tour beginning January 2026. We paused this tour during the global pandemic, but we’re back, better than ever. The Seattle City Tour portion of this experience was ranked “Top 20” experience in the United States by TripAdvisor/Viator, selected from thousands of activities (read some of the reviews!). After more than 10 years of developing and refining this route, we’ve designed a tour that truly maximizes everything you get to see. This is the only tour in Seattle that combines the Boeing Factory Tour with a comprehensive Seattle City Tour. You’ll visit the launch site of Boeing’s very first airplane and see the largest building in the world. The Boeing experience also includes a gallery of innovative aircraft and a flight simulator. Enjoy iconic sights such as floating homes, the Fremont Troll, under the bridge, the busiest lock system in the U.S., the Amazon campus, and what may be the longest floating bridges in the world.

This private experience makes your visit to the Boeing Factory truly worth your time and investment. From the moment we pick up your group in a new, private vehicle in downtown Seattle, your driver-guide will explain everything you’ll see and do during the 40-minute scenic drive north. At the Boeing facility, you'll join the official Boeing guide for a 90-minute tour inside the factory. For seniors or guests with mobility challenges, we arrange an alternate route with no stairs, offering a flat walking path or wheelchair access when available. This option still provides the rare experience of walking inside the production line. After the factory visit, your guide will be waiting to continue the experience—exploring the Sky Deck or the Future of Flight museum—before heading back to Seattle (a 40 to 60-minute return drive). This is a fully private and customizable tour, perfect for travelers who want a smooth, comfortable, and enriching Boeing Factory visit.
