This was an outstanding tour that I would recommend to everyone. Our tour guide was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. He had some great stories about Seattle. And I feel that I got to see everything that was worth seeing, including a Troll under a bridge with an actual Volkswagen that was half buried there as well.

Erica_M, Mar 2026
I went on this tour by myself. No one else signed up, so it was more like a private tour. My tour guy was amazing! I believe his name was Cory, but I could be wrong. I couldn't have gotten a better tour guide. He added extra to the tour because we went through everything so quickly. He was with me every step of the way. Even when we made stops, he got out and helped me take pictures. I learned so much. He asked ahead of time, what I was most interested in, so we could take extra time in those areas. It was all a great experience.

This was a great 3 hour tour and was worth the money. Gary was our guide and made the tour fun and interesting! I do hope he ends up buying that brick house in Queen Anne though. He promised to invite all of us to his house next time so please if the company is reading this, give the guy a raise. He deserves it. Keep up the great work Gary!
