Steve is the best!!!!

Steve provided one of the most interesting and educational tour that we have ever been on. His knowledge of the city’s history, architecture, current events and things to do around the city were a tremendous eye-opener. He took us to places we would have never known existed. Who knew there was a Klokdike gold museum. Now we do. His tour through the city neighborhoods was exceptional, and he provided anecdotes that only someone who was keenly aware of what was going on in the city would know. We visited the locks and salmon run, and got great views of the city skyline and Mt. Rainier. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and encourage any visitor to take this tour the learn about what really is available in this fabulous city.

4th of July getaway

Mr.Tyler was fantastic and knowledgeable. I like the small group tour better. It wasn’t rushed or anything like that. We’ve met and chat with other travelers and tourists and it was fun! We met a lovely couple from Manchester, U.K.

Seattle City Highlights Tour - perfect to get the lay of the land!

This tour was excellent for our family which includes two teenagers. Bryan was a great guide! He held our attention well and was very knowledgeable about the area. The 3 hour experience flew by! It was nice that we had several stops where we exited the bus and had an allotted amount of time to explore on our own. This was our first trip to Seattle, and I really felt like the tour was well worth the money and that it gave us a great overview of the city.

Satisfied with Seattle Tour

So appreciated the revised pick-up spot to avoid the Pride Parade festivities. The guide had a great knowledge of the area and answered all questions. Appreciated the stops as well.
