Traveler Tips

This is a must, especially if you don’t have a lot of time.

We opted to not get a car on this trip which made going outside of downtown a little more difficult for us.

I believe we covered most of the best parts of Seattle, and I recommend this tour to anyone looking for an easy and informative tour of this special city.

Really nice way to get an understanding of the city and surroundings, also outside the core of the city, but do not expect much walking. Trip was on time and the guide told a lot of info about Seattle while driving around. Seattle is a beautiful city to see, not only downtown!

We had fun the only thing...

we loved going to the Locks in seeing it an actual operation we loved getting to the pike market Steve explained a lot of small details about the area and attractions that we would have never known. Giving a map overview at the beginning was also very helpful.
