We had a great tour! We traveled with our elderly parents who had some mobility challenges and the travel accommodations worked out fine. Our tour guide Terry was excellent. He had tons of knowledge about the city and the places we visited. We definitely recommend this tour.

Very knowledgeable and accommodating guide (Dennis). We had a fun time. The falls were beautiful and the tour of the city, especially the Ballard Locks and Kerry Park, was exceptional!

This tour is definitely worth doing if you are in the Seattle area! Our wonderful tour guide Dennis was very knowledgeable about all of the stops and was able to answer any questions anyone had, sharing loads of history about Washington ans Seattle. With this tour you get to see a wider variety of Seattle and the nearby cities, going to Fremont, Queen Anne Hill, Carrey Park, and up into the Snoqualmie mountains. This tour is great for both families and adults with great entertainment and solid amount of stops. The best part of the tour is definitely all of the photography tips and tricks that really sets this tour above all the rest! The tour guides teach you how to capture some really amazing photos that will be sure to make all of your Facebook followers jealous! Definitely recommend!

This isn't a boat tour.. it's a bus tour. They don't mention this at all in their advertising or their pictures.
Cheryl_D, Jun 2026
Fun and informative. Dale was so personable and went above and beyond to make everyone comfortable. He supplied water, snacks and even gave us great photo tips.
Tiffany_D, Jun 2026
Dale was our guide and he was very cool! Very knowledgeable, he was able to speak about something new the entire time we were on the road. He was very friendly, funny, and took great pictures. Also incredibly accommodating for everyone's needs. Highly recommend to start your trip with this tour as he's full of recommendations of things to do and where to eat.
Becky_R, Jun 2026
Very professional and interesting tour that was entertaining for both my teens and parents. The tour guide was great, and he even gives photography tips. The only mild complaint was that the van was too warm the a sunny summer day that we toured, but it was tolerable. It even included a place to grab a quick sandwich, snacks, and drinks as the tour runs through lunch time. The time at the falls was perfect, the city overlook was beautiful, and we probably enjoyed the locks the most.
Svetlana_C, Jun 2026
