See how Seattle lives- an overview with top sites!

Barbara_S, Apr 2026
We had a wonderful morning with our guide, Tyler, who showed us the many neighborhoods of Seattle. It was nice to see how the people really live “up close and personal”. We had 4 people and our drive was all around the city. We were able to get all of our questions answered and it was such a beautiful day as well. This is mostly a drive around tour without much walking, but we got lots of photos of the city, Mt Ranier, the coastline, etc.

Pre-wedding afternoon experience
