Nice tour

Stephanie_G, Mar 2026
Ken was a great tour guide. His knowledge of the city was phenomenal. The bus was comfortable and we had enough time to get off the bus and explore without being rushed.

Good but sound quality was not the best. Difficult to hear the guide. Personal headphones provided to passengers.

John was so great! Super knowledgeable. It's worth getting picked up at your hotel. Great way to see Seattle if you don't have lots of free time.

Benjamin_M, Jan 2026
Our tour guide was excellent and did a great job showcasing Seattle. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and provided helpful context for each stop. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone on their first day or first trip to Seattle, as it’s a perfect overview and helps you decide which places you’ll want to return to for a deeper dive later in your visit.

Cali soul in Seattle

Vanessa_H, Jan 2026
Very extensive information on the city of Seattle. The route is wonderful. Ron is the best tour guide.

Seattle bus tour.

Kenneth_G, Dec 2025
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5 Stars) We recently took a sightseeing tour in Seattle and ended up being the only guests on the bus – what a stroke of luck! It instantly transformed into a truly personalized private tour, and our guide, Bryan, made it an unforgettable highlight of our entire trip. Bryan is simply outstanding. His knowledge of Seattle is deep, engaging, and delivered with genuine enthusiasm. From the city's rich history and hidden gems to fascinating stories about iconic landmarks, neighborhoods, and local culture, he shared insights that went far beyond the typical guidebook facts. Every question we asked was met with thoughtful, detailed answers that brought the city to life in ways we never expected. What impressed us most was Bryan's professionalism combined with his warm, approachable personality. He was attentive, flexible with our interests, and ensured we had the perfect pace and stops for photos or deeper exploration. His passion for Seattle was contagious, and his storytelling turned a standard tour into a memorable adventure filled with laughter, learning, and lasting impressions. Thanks to Bryan, we left Seattle with not just great photos, but a real appreciation for the city and fond memories we'll cherish forever. If you're visiting Seattle, do yourself a favor and request Bryan – he's the guide who elevates a good tour into an extraordinary experience. We can't recommend him highly enough!

It was a rainy day, but our guide/driver was most helpful, courteous, informative, and pleasant. Many thanks!

Wonderful tour!

Beth_K, Oct 2025
We traveled in a bus and saw all the awesome sites in Seattle. The tour guide was wonderful! He was very informative and funny! We would frequently stop tomorrow walk around. Would highly recommend.

Great Tour with Greg

Richard_B, Oct 2025
This was one the best city tours ever. Greg took us North, South, East and West. Lots of good comentary and history. Picked us up at hotel early (thankyou). Group was small, a bonus, but even a full bus which only holds about 14 woukd be good. Two well planned potty stops and a surpruse stop at the troll.

All around Seattle.

Seattle on the 4th of July

27wgclark, Sep 2025
Wonderful Seattle City tour with our guide, Joanna. The weather was great and Joanna was fabulous!. She had many, many Seattle facts and historic tidbits of information. She took us to so many different areas and shared interesting facts and knowledge of everyone of them. Great tour not too long or too short, just right! Thank you, Joanna! So pleased you were there for us on the 4th of July!!

Fantastic tour & guide! But no hotel pick-up as advertised.

Jodi_C, Aug 2025
This was a fantastic tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. I would have given this tour 5 stars based on the tour stops and tour guide, but they sold me a tour with hotel pick-up and then made me walk to a different hotel to get picked up. Our hotel was on the list as participating hotels to be picked up from, but we were told the day before the tour that it was not safe enough to pick-up at that hotel. I bought the tour because we were being picked up at our hotel, so it was misleading and false advertisement on Viator’s website. Other than the hotel pick-up issue, we loved the tour and our tour guide.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hi Jodi - Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your city tour with us. I looked into your reservation, and for the hotel you selected, we do pick up there but we can't offer the pickup at the front entrance, so we ask that you wait on the back-side block so we can safely load you into the tour bus. I understand the confusion as there is a connected hotel on that side as well, but want to ensure guests know that we do pick up from all hotels on our drop-down list - we may ask to wait at a different entrance than the main entrance, though. Thank you again and all the best in your future travels!
