This was a fun tour. The aquarium is very nice. We also made a stop at Olympic Blvd which was great to see the new museum and the beautiful ocean behind. The NEW FERRIS WHEEL WAS A HIGHLIGHT. PALOMA AND CLAYTON were very nice guides. They were patient and kept us safe.

Nice trip to waterfront

Never showed to pick us up. Did not reply to 3 messages sent while waiting to be picked up to see if tour was still on.

Loved the Aquarium but not the transport

TWBrown3, Jul 2019
So, the Aquarium was great. The animals and were nice to see and the exhibits were informative. The only down side was our transportation. The tour guide was nice, but he picked me up in a Lyft, and then we picked up a couple (both were a bit overweight). The three of us were in the backseat of a compact car. Not at all what I expected....and it was the same for the drop-off. The Olympic Boulevard portion of the tour was just conversation as we walked to the Aquarium....you have to pass by these things to get there. So, the information wasn't really substantial. A larger vehicle was all that was needed.
