Our tour of Seattle was terrific due, in large part, to our host: Earl. Earl was both informative and entertaining. I highly recommend touring with Earl who will provide you with great insights about today’s Seattle (as well as provide you with an historical perspective). Two thumbs up!

Very comprehensive. Our tour guide Earl went above and beyond to make our tour memorable. He has a vast and deep knowledge of the Seattle area.
Helen_G, Dec 2025
This was my first visit to Seattle and this tour was a perfect introduction to the city. Earl, our tour guide and driver, was amazing. He provided history about the area and made it fun with a range of comedy. We were a small group which made it more enjoyable and personable. I would definitely recommend this tour to newcomers.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Helen thanks so much for the review, I enjoy tours myself when others are engaged like you and the rest of the group. I appreciate the review greatly. Thanks again. Earl

If you're interested in cultural and historical knowledge I recommend this tour. I had a great time with stops in between for taking pictures and learning a little bit more about the places I've been. More than visuals. Earl, was so amazing in the tour guidance and telling a little bit about the city transformation throughout the time. I have lots of memory and pictures to always remember my visit in the city.
Dora_O, Oct 2025
Earl was very knowledgeable about Seattle. Definitely a warehouse of facts. Would highly recommend him for tours. Appreciate him taking us to off the beaten paths along with better known stops.

Andrew_R, Oct 2025
This was a very fun tour. This was my first time in Seattle and I was very impressed with the sights the city had to offer. Earl was a great guide and host, he has a lot of personality and he knows the city like the back of his hand. We visited a few places I would never have imagined visited if I was on my own. Definitely a tour worth doing.

Earl was the absolute best tour guide we have had in a very long time! He was super professional but added his personality to the tour which made it so enjoyable! He knows your name and while at stops he was personable and that was so great! We loved Earl and will be recommending him to all our friends heading to Seattle! Got dropped off right at the edge of Pike Place to get us to our next activity! Thank you Earl! From Cindy and Katie!

We took the Seattle City Tour with Earl, and it was absolutely perfect for our large multigenerational family. Earl was so much fun—friendly, engaging, and full of fascinating information at every stop. He made sure everyone from kids to grandparents felt included and entertained.
It’s truly the perfect way to see Seattle, especially if you want to hit all the highlights without worrying about logistics. The tour was convenient, well-paced, and incredibly enjoyable. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!
Amanda_H, Jul 2025
Earl was a great tour guide, taking us to many places we wouldn’t have known existed without him, especially the salmon ladder. He was very funny from the start, and kept us all amused for the whole tour, while giving us lots of information re the history of Seattle.

Becky_R, Jun 2025
This was a wonderful tour of Seattle! We loved every minute of it and Avery was an awesome tour guide! He so full of information and fun to tour with, we laughed as we learned!
Jeannene_B, Jun 2025
Earl is the BEST! We usually do hop-on/hop-off bus tours when we visit a new city, but we were wary of the so-so reviews for the ones in Seattle, so we decided to take a chance on this smaller bus tour, and we are SO GLAD we did! Earl was so knowledgeable about the city and shared all of his stories with us in such a fun and engaging way! He made it a point to get to know all of us, too, which was so refreshing! He was amazingly accommodating - even letting us stay longer at the locks so that we could see them in action - and then dropping us off at the Space Needle at the end of the tour. What a fun and engaging experience - take this tour if you can!! Thanks, Earl!!
