This was a great way to see the city. Our tour guide Jeff was fun and interactive. You could tell how much he loved Seattle and its history.
Van_S, Aug 2026
This is a leisurely tour of Seattle. Minimal walking required and you will enter/exit the small bus several times to participate in specific experiences. The driver, who is also your tour guide, mixes historical information with their own experiences. Who knows what you will see! Maybe a troll under a bridge?
Jill_B, Aug 2026
Very informative, beautiful stops and saw so many places of interest. Seattle has a lot of great places to explore.
MaryKaren_H, Aug 2026
This is an excellent tour of Seattle. Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed this - Brian did an outstanding job talking about the city and its rich and interesting history.

This was a very good 3 hour tour that we thoroughly enjoyed. Jeff did a tremendous job of explaining the history of Seattle and showing us many different neighborhoods and highlights of the city of Seattle. We had a group of 13 on our tour, and it was a very positive and pleasant experience. Jeff offered three separate pickup spots in Seattle, to make it convenient for all of the guests. He also gave us tips for things to see on our own if we chose to do so following the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are a first time visitor to the city, or if like us, you’ve been to Seattle before but would like to explore more.

Really interesting tour taking you through the entire Seattle city. Entertaining and funny tour guide that kept my kids laughing the whole time.
Vaniel_A, Aug 2026
First trip to Seattle, tour provided great overview of the area. Tour guide Quinn friendly and professional and gave great info on all of the tour sites.
Tejaswini_M, Aug 2026
It would have been great if we had a chance to see more places, hear about it's detailed history or significance. The tour pretty much covered most of the places travelling and we got a chance to get down at very few places.
Nancy_S, Aug 2026
DJ is a charismatic fun tour guide. He enthusiastically shared so much about the history of Seattle. He gave a wonderful tour that covered all the highlights of this beautiful city. His "dad jokes" were funny and he got us all engaged with our"in the world" responses. Thanks so much DJ!

John the tour guide was full of great information and was very personable. He took us to a number of landmarks and everyone in the group enjoyed it.
Eliza_D, Aug 2026
The tour was nice, but paying $100 for thee hour bus ride throughout neighborhoods, with 2 fifteen minute opportunity to step out is a bit too expensive for anyone’s budget

We highly recommend this tour, and saw interesting parts of Seattle we never expected, as well as all the "touristy" highlights. Ken, our tour guide had personal stories of landmarks and neighborhoods that really brought Seattle to life!
Thank you Ken!!

I really enjoyed visiting the Space needle, and the Chihuly Garden. If you ever visit Seattle Washington, you should visit the Space Needle and the Chihuly garden. It’s a great experience.
Vernon_H, Jul 2026
If you go to St. Louis, you should go up in the St. Louis Arch.
If you go to Seattle you go up in the space needle, the view is terrific. You can also look through the glass floor and see the gears that are turning it around in a circle. Kids will enjoy straddling the joint where the moving floor intersects with the stationary floor. Before you go up, you can see a great display on the making of the Space Needle! You will not regret going up! It is an engineering marvel!
Donna_S, Jul 2026
Many views of the shipyards. That was nice but would have preferred more city sites. Enjoyed seeing the different places in the city.
