Excellent tour and very informative. We saw a lot without taking the entire day. Great pickup / drop off location at Pike Place so you can explore before and after the tour.

A great way to see a lot of the city’s highlights in a 4 hour tour. Went with my family of four (12 and 14 year old kids) and all enjoyed it!

Wonderful tour!!! Terry was an exceptional tour guide. He is a native to Seattle, so he was full of information on Seattle (including the city history), the falls and surrounding areas. He gave great photo tips and was happy to take pictures when requested. He also gave wonderful dining recommendations. The tour bus was clean and comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely tour with him again. Only wish we did his tour at the beginning of our trip, so we would have had more time to take advantage of the all the great insider tips and dining recommendations he gave. Thank you Terry!!Michelle_S
