Perfect Pre-Cruise Easy-paced Adventure

Reliable. Information-rich. Safe for solo travelers. Tour guide was very hospitable and made good use of time. We made stops along the way to take in sights, stretch, and grab beverages and bite at local favorite spots. Stress-free hotel pickup too!

Incredible tour before Cruise!

Great experience! Paul was a spectacular guide around Seattle and we learned so much history! He dropped us right off at the cruise terminal at the end, which was so convenient!

Nice overview and lots to experience.

Very well done tour. Lots of interesting things around town and we visited all around town. The salmon ladder and display at the locks was fascinating. Visit to Starbucks headquarters was a fun sidelight. Paul had an insider's view and he was happy to tell us all about Seattle. Hope to come back and explore more on our own.

Pre cruise tour was worth every cent!

Seattle, WA pre cruise tour of city was wonderful. First the program org people sent an email with phone contact to confirm/set up specifics of trip. Our driver/tour guide Lucinda came in a nicely outfitted tour bus. She was knowledgeable on history, geography, geology, local culture, natural resources and even species like coffee and aviation. We had a fun, and she delivered us to our boat right on time. For in as much as we could see. Worth every penny of tour.
