I got an email confirmation about a week before my scheduled tour. It stated I should be receiving an email from my guide a couple days before my scheduled tour. I never got the follow up email so I messaged the night before to confirm. At 6AM the morning of my tour, I got a message explaining my tour had been canceled and there were no tours happening right now. This was the 1 splurge I made for my trip and was strung along for nothing; very unprofessional business!K9969UWjennym

We took the private downtown tour with Kalina on Aug 6. Kalina was outstanding! Her knowledge was so impressive as was her kind demeanor. We started with a breakfast at Lowell's, walked around the city, hearing all about the history of Seattle. She was mindful of our time and kept to a leisurely schedule. When we would mention an interest of ours, she quickly changed her plans and accommodated us. Afterwards, she took the time to send us pictures of our wonderful morning. I highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Kalina.Tink1019

Great tour! We got to visit some nice coffee shops and book stores along the way and also we found an amazing donut shop. Our tour guide was friendly and had a lot of information about the city.

Our tour guide Ian, was not truly a local, having only lived in Seattle for 4 years. He was punctual and flexible with his schedule. He did not give us any info about the city without us prompting him with questions. He talked quietly so only the person closest to him could hear him, and talked facing forward so no one walking behind him could hear. He gave us wrong info about the ferry telling us a ticket was round trip when it was one way. He took us to a restaurant that had a very long line so we walked 2 miles to another one which also had a long line. Overall, it was clear he had no idea what a good tour involved.CrackheadRecords
