    Nice little walking tour.

    Ray_T, Mar 2026
    This was a nice little walking guide around the city. You should plan to stop in stores along the way to make it more interesting.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Ray, I’m glad you enjoyed my Downtown Seattle Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour and that you found it a nice way to explore the city. That’s a great tip about stopping into shops along the way—one of the best parts of a self-guided tour is the freedom to pause, explore, and make the experience your own. If you plan to return to Washington, check out my other tours, such as North Cascades National Park, Mt. Rainier, and Olympic National Park. Happy travels!

    Suggestion

    It would be helpful for the directions to include "turn right on ___ street" and "walk __ blocks" for those of us that are direction challenged. We didn't find everything on the list because we struggled with this.

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Hi Karen, I am so glad you enjoyed exploring Seattle with us! The first or last line of most stories already says, “Turn right/left on X street” or “Continue straight” or similar. If you didn’t hear that, it might be due to a Bluetooth-connected device’s audio delay (some connections are delayed, so the first few seconds of a story aren’t audible). Could that have been the case for you?
