Dale was a great tour guide! He gave some really cool facts about the city and some great fun facts from his experience. The falls were amazing! Dale gave us really cool tips to help with capturing some great pics. We also saw the Fremont troll, Ballard Locks, and got some amazing shots of the space needle from Kerry park.

Jeremy_W, Jun 2026
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!

Totally worth it!
