I am unable to review this so I just gave it three stars because we had a hotel snafu the night before and were unable to actually make the tour. I was unable to get a hold of the Tour operator so unfortunately he came to our hotel to try to pick us up. I have asked Viator for a refund and so they’re working on it for me because I had to book a different tour the next day. thank you.

Awesome Experience!!!

Be curious about the city’s actual facts and history. I enjoyed all the places we visited, the knowledge of the tourist guide and the details that only a local knows.

Extraordinary Guide

Julie_M, Aug 2025
DC was a fantastic tour host and guide. His wealth of knowledge about Seattle, past and present, is extraordinary! Everyone in our family group ( ages 66, 61, 24, and 18) was interested and engaged with DC’s narrative.

Lovely Seattle

Yarem_H, Jul 2025
Casey Is an amazing guide your guy! He explained to us every single thing about every stop and the areas the we visited in the tour.

It was ok

Christine_W, Jul 2025
DC was a great tour guide. I learned more about salmon than I thought Ibneeded to know. I wish we had seen more highlights of the city. We spent alot if time at the locks.

An Excellent Experience!

Rich_D, Jul 2025
Mark, our tour guide, was highly knowledgeable and accommodating. He ensured the comfort and enjoyment of all the tour goers. We appreciated his first hand accounting of details in the Fremont art district…first hand because he was part of the specific history. He was understanding of our familial considerations with a special needs son. Views of the city, details of the history, all while in the comfort of a small group tour bus! Show-Me-Seattle is a great tour for any group!

3-Hour Tour

Andrew_A, Jul 2025
Mark was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and we appreciated him taking photos of us at each stop. It was a perfect tour as a first time visitor to Seattle.

Great Tour Guide for seeing Seattle

Sandra_C, Jun 2025
The tour guide was amazing. He provided loads of information about Seattle. His presentation was interesting, amusing, and engaging. I would recommend this tour to anyone especially if they get the same guide. I have some mobility issues, and he was very helpful and considerate without inconveniencing others.

Seattle, city tour

Ronald_S, Jun 2025
The hotel we stayed at had a lot of homeless people. Otherwise the security was great, and the tour we had was outstanding.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hi Ronald - thank you for the rave about our tour! We are sorry you were upset by the hotel, but unfortunately we are not connected to the hotel. We are an independent tour operator :-)

Take this tour w Matthew

Joy_B, May 2025
Matthew is an incredible tour guide. You are most fortunate to have him representing your company . Nice clean mini bus too

Seattle’s fun knowledge

Maria_S, Oct 2024
Our guide James was very knowledgeable and passionate about his Seattle history. Beautiful sites with fun facts make for a most enjoyable tour. Loved it. Would recommend it to all who visit this gorgeous city. ♥️♥️

Seattle Rocks

Kristy_S, Oct 2024
Matthew was an excellent tour guide. We saw so much and learned a lot about the city. Such a cool place. I loved every minute of it and so glad I went with this tour! Highly recommended

Great opportunity to see a lot at one time

Thao_L, Sep 2024
We had a wonderful tour guide Shawn. His knowledge of the city and humor made the experience enjoyable. The tour enabled us to know where we wanted to visit for the next couple days of our trip. Great to do on your first morning in Seattle

Would highly recommend

Renee_K, Sep 2024
Matthew was great, funny, talented(loved his singing). Kept us entertained the entire time and really knew his history.

Lots of fun

Leisa_W, Sep 2024
Very entertaining and informative tour guide. He provided lots of history and fun. I highly recommend this tour

best day tour ever with Matthew the singer

Sharon_K, Jul 2024
matthew the singing tour guide was outstanding. he is fun, educational and an excellent singer. we learned so much about Seattle and our 14 &15 year olds stayed engaged and said it was one of their best days ever. we will book again and LOVED our time with Matthew.

Great way to see Seattle!

Martha_T, May 2024
Our excellent tour guide,”DC”, picked us up at our hotel. There were only four of us in our tour group. DC had a wealth of knowledge about the area and it was really interesting to hear him talk about salmon swimming upstream and how they are able to find their way to where they spawn. It’s a great way to experience a little bit of different areas of the city. I only wish we had done the tour at the beginning of our time there instead of at the end so that we could go back and revisit some of the areas he showed us. After the tour was over he was kind enough to take us back to our hotel to pick up our luggage and then drop us off at the rail station and he took the other couple to Chinatown where they wanted to have lunch. He could not have been more accommodating and nice.

Great way to see Seattle!

Jeni_P, Apr 2024
DC was very friendly and informative. We had a small group so we were able to ask a lot of questions. The most unexpected parts were the visit to the locks, learning about the salmon life cycle and viewing the herons nesting.

Great Tour!

Madonna_J, Oct 2023
This tour was great and our guide, James, was so knowledgeable about the city and an all around friendly person! Well worth the money!

Best Match for a Seattle Tour

Carla_H, Oct 2023
We had previously taken a Viator tour in Vancouver, BC, so we chose this tour for our Seattle visit. We were surprised and delighted to have Matthew as our guide. He not only shared extensive history and current sights of the city, but also serenaded us with show tunes! His engaging personality, entertaining delivery, and wonderful voice made our tour a fantastic experience. We will definitely be recommending him to friends and family for future visits. He's a keeper!

A long wait at pickup

Andr_U, Sep 2023
The bus picked us up 45 mins late and the company never picked up the phone when trying to find out why. The driver and guide was very enthusiastic and knew lots of very useful facts and figures.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi Andre - glad you enjoyed the tour and the guide. We are concerned that no-one answered your call, as our reservations team was on duty at the time, and also we work very hard to get in touch with guests as soon as we know a pick-up may be delayed. On this day, we see that there was a delay with tour guests who were getting off a cruise ship. Thanks for the feedback - we would love to follow up with you further to try and figure out what happened so we can fis the issue. If you are interested please email me directly, leslie@showmeseattle.com.

It was pretty good but not great.

Nancy_B, Aug 2023
Park stop to overlook the city. Driver Failed to point out to us a couple of things he said he’d show us “later on in the tour”.

Great tour

Heidi_R, Aug 2023
The salmon ladder and our tour guides knowledge (DC,) was incredible...he made the trip! We also loved the view of Mt Rainer that ypu can't get on a large tour bus.

Highlight of our trip to Seattle

Cindy_S, Aug 2023
Mathew the singing tour guide was excellent!!! So knowledgeable and friendly. Our favorite was going to the locks and viewing the salmon.
