Madhuri_D, Aug 2026

Mesmerizing scenic beauty

Leavenworth has a beautiful scenic beauty. The journey was full of landscape view. After get there you would have 3-4 h to explore the town by yourself. You can do water activities, or walk around and then have your lunch, it has lot of options for it. Our tour guide Slava was amazing and knowledgeable, even he dropped me at my convenient place. Thanks to him.

Seattle: Rainforest, Beach, and Olympic National Park Highlights

Paige_C, Jul 2026

Forest and Forks

This tour was a great way to see a lot of the Olympic National Forest with a limited time. Our guide Jonny was knowledgeable and flexible on itinerary to ensure my son could see Bella’s house (from Twilight) and still catch our flight on time. Be forewarned there is a lot of very bumpy driving if you get motion sickness easily, but there are a lot of stops which helps. The rainforest and beaches are breathtaking. Recommend if you have limited time because this area is a must see!

Whale Watching Tour from Anacortes

Jason_B, Jul 2026

Whale watcher from Kansas!

This is was my 1st whale watching experience and it surpassed my expectations!! The crew (Alex, Thomas and Tyler) was knowledgeable and so very friendly. I definitely recommend and would do again. We saw a pod of Orcas, seals and a Hunchback whale! Very successful trip!

Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour from Seattle

Angela_M, Jul 2026

Excellent driver. Very...

Excellent driver. Very knowledgeable of the area. When we booked with Viator they wld not accommodate our hotel so we walked to a nearby one they did. The driver brought us back to where we were staying no problem. He said they do accommodate. Loved the tour. The falls were beautiful and enjoyed winery and whiskey places. Would highly recommend this tour.

Meet the Market- Food and Fun tour in Pike Place Market

Kevin_P, Jul 2026

This was one of the best...

This was one of the best walking tours I've been on. Sonic John brings an incredible amount of knowledge and energy, making the experience both engaging and informative. He's a fantastic ambassador for Pike Place Market and does a great job explaining its history, vendors, and importance to Seattle's culture. The tour is an excellent introduction to the full breadth of the market, helping you discover places you might otherwise overlook. John also tailors recommendations to your interests, whether you're looking for great food, local specialties, or unique shops. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle, especially if it's your first time exploring Pike Place Market.

Olympic National Park Day Tour from Seattle

CarlosErnesto_M, Jul 2026

Connecting with nature

The Olympic National Park probably deserves a few days to get explored but if you’re considering doing it in one day this is definitely a great opportunity. Our tour guy Kevin was awesome, a natural entertainer full of stories and fun facts made the trip an enjoyable and interesting. The park itself it’s a beautiful and profound experience and you’ll find yourself immersed into nature and pristine views. You’ll get to enjoy a good hiking so dress accordingly and wear comfortable shoes with good traction. I just wish there was a stop at any of the native tribes centers, I’m sure there’s a few I also thought Ruby Beach was in the itinerary but maybe I was mistaken. Then it should be included! This was definitely a great experience for me and I’m looking forward to go back soon!

Whale Watching from Friday Harbor

Jose_V, Jul 2026

San Juan Safaris

The tour with San Juan Safaris was fantastic, Brian and the staff was amazing—friendly, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable. My only disappointment was with the information provided by Viator. There should be much clearer communication about the Washington State ferry system, especially for travelers coming from far away. Many customers may not realize that vehicle reservations are strongly recommended and should be booked well in advance. I believe the following information should be clearly displayed on the Viator booking page: Ferries often run late and are occasionally canceled, so please plan to arrive on a ferry that reaches the island at least two hours before your tour departure. Vehicle reservations are strongly recommended for this route and should be made in advance. Walk-on passengers do not need reservations. Including this information on the Viator page would help customers better prepare for their trip, reduce unnecessary stress, and make the overall experience even better.

One-Way Seattle Airport Transfer Service

Bernardo_M, Jun 2026

Smooth service

This was our first time using a transportation service which was recommended by our travel agent. It was easy to book online and reassuring by getting confirmations and reminders leading up to our travel day. Our flight arrived an hour earlier, we made a call letting them know. It was no problem for them to pick us earlier than scheduled. Our driver was helpful and friendly in loading our luggage (and unloading) and thorough out the drive to our hotel drop off. The vehicle was clean and spacious, comfortable for our family of eight. Everything about the experience was easy and smooth.

Pike Place Market: Original Food Tour - Tips Included!

Perfect way to taste your way around Pike Place Market

If you wanted an introduction to what food and drink options are available at Pike Place Market then this is the tour for you. We visited 8 different places to get a taster of - ginger beer, ice cream, fish and chips, clam chowder (very surprising seeing as wasn’t always a fan), Turkish delight, lentil soup, chocolate cherries, fruit, donuts. Every one was delicious. Our tour guide was knowledgeable not just about the food, but also in giving a brief history of different parts of the market.

Big Al made the bus ride the best experience! He has a big personality and it showed through during our ride. He was very knowledgeable about the route and broke the ice with all his customers using his humor. He has the perfect personality and temperament for this job! Job extremely well done!

Great start to our vacation

I booked on and I guess I put in the wrong flight number, they called later that day to make sure I had the correct flight number. Emilio was our driver and he was there waiting for us and our flight was early. Was in constant contact with us while we got our luggage. A great start to our vacation.

Seattle's Original Sunset Sail (Est. 1984) - 70ft Boat - BYOB

Regina_S, Sept 2025

Beautiful sunset sailing

This was our first experience, sailing and it was absolutely beautiful and stunning and so much more. The captain Phil made it a great experience and his shipmate. Once you check in, they give you a number so there’s no need to rush to get on the boat because your checked in by the way that you arrived so if you get there early, you get basically wherever you wanna be seated on the sailboat we were probably 30th to get on and had a great seat. It seems like every seat on the sailboat is wonderful and they let you walk around and Take photos and it was an absolutely amazing experience. You can bring your own food and drinks when we went it was just sweatshirt weather I would absolutely do this again. ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
