May 20th 2021 This is our second tour in a few years. When we make it back we love to get on a tour, last time, or a private tour this time. Mark was our driver both times. He’s an awesome tour guide and will work it out if you want to spend more or less time at a certain location.

Our guide, Capt. Steve was an excellent tour guide. He had lots of information about the sites/history of Seattle. He made everything very interesting. He was also very accommodating to my grandchildren(ages 9 and 4). We saw everything and more. I would highly recommend using Capt. Steve. I would use him again!

Texric

This tour was totally different from the tour we took previous day. This was more of a tour of the city of Seattle.

Dan_S

Deborah_H

If you only have a few hours and want to cover everything this is the trip for you!! The price was reasonable and we gave a nice tip!

We actually were the only family on this tour. We had the whole van to ourselves and our guide was amazing. He was extremely nice and took his time showing us around to all the wonderful sights in Seattle. We got a history lesson the gold rush and how it influenced the city. We stopped by a cool local glass store and got to watch them make a glass plate right in front of us. You cfould feel the fire of the stove while watching. It was really memorable experience.

Paula H

<p>We extended our tour to 4 hours to take advantage of a layover. The tour guide was very informative and backed all the experiences up with a history lesson.. I thought we saw a lot of Seattle in 4 hours and decided that from now on, I will want to have a tour of a new city if I'm going to be there a few days, just so I know what sights I want to go back to for a closer look. My only other comment is that I thought the traffic in Seattle was some of the worse I have ever been in and our driver knew all the shortcuts....still really busy. Need to allow plenty of time.</p>

mgardengate

<p>This tour was outstanding. We were able to get an excellent overview of Seattle and our guide was very accommodating to meet our individual requirements. He adjusted the timing of our stops to allow extra time in places we found especially interesting and even changed the end location so that we could have lunch at a special restaurant near the Aquarium. On another day, we re-visited the city with local friends and found that we were indeed well versed in Seattle lore and were very comfortable in our Seattle Highlights knowledge. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>I'm sorry but our tour operator was very rude, He didn't introduce himself and came and spoke to us as though we were kids. We were waiting in our hotel lobby for him for 45 minutes and he came in and said so rudely, I have been waiting for you for so long parked on the main road. We didn't know this as usually they come to the hotel lobby. We only did half the tour and asked to go back to the hotel.</p>
