This was a wonderful trip. We would all have liked a bit longer to just look at the factory floor and see the work in progress. It is a definitely worthwhile half day in Seattle.

Boeing factory was great and not to be missed. Really interesting, lovely tour guide, and we saw the first Dreamliner finished - fantastic! For the pickup, an unmarked white van pulled up outside hotel. We were waiting in foyer and after a couple of minutes went out to check if this was for us. Driver on phone - no acknowledgment. We went back to van a few minutes later and driver said he was not allowed to park there and could not come in and get us! Great start! We were the only ones in the van, and the driver was obviously quite bored and tried to tell us stuff about Seattle in a patronizing manner, but we had been in Seattle nearly a week and had done lots and would have preferred he concentrate on the road. When he drove us back, he dropped us off in the middle of the road at an intersection when the lights were red! I am still cross that my husband gave him a tip. Hire a car or get a cab.

We enjoyed our tour very much it was most interesting and all our guides were excellent. Our tour guide/bus driver was especially good as he gave us plenty of background on Seattle's history and also made it a very friendly atmosphere on the bus. This led to us spending the afternoon with a couple we had done the tour with.

Well, the Future Of Flight Centre is great. The Boeing Factory - Awesome. If you like anything to do with planes, you will not fail to be fascinated by this tour. If you fancy a bit of plane spotting, there is an outdoor viewing deck on top the Future of Flight Museum which gives a excellent view of Paine Field KPAE. The driver I had shared his local knowledge of Seattle and Boeing on the way and back. Priceless in itself. A Star.

My main reason for traveling to Seattle was to take this tour. It is a real wow factor when you see the planes being produced. It's a shame that it was not made clear about cameras being allowed prior to the tour, as I would have liked to take some snaps of the exhibits in and around the building. They do provide lockers to store your stuff whilst on the tour. There is a lot of walking and steps to tackle whilst on the tour, which was not a problem for me but could be worth mentioning for the not so able.

We never thought that we would actually see the largest building that houses the manufacturing of the latest Boeing planes. It was a sight to behold. I went on the simulator, that's cool.

This was easily one of the highlights of our five-week trip. We loved seeing the new series. I was amazed at the efficiency of the tour and the pickup from our hotel despite the fact that we had booked the tour on the Internet from the other side of the world. I will recommend the tour to all and am glad my travel agent recommended the visit. Congratulations!

The factory tour was of extremely good value, but we felt the driver was too much "in our face" with his commentary.

For the cost of the ticket it was worth it, but 45 dollars was a bit much to pay for the ride.

I was disappointed when I rang up to book our shuttle and was told that our name was not on the list. I was told to ring another number, but they wouldn't take us. In frustration, I spoke to the hotel staff, and they called up and told us that the shuttle was an offshoot of another company and that a shuttle would pick us up at 9:30, which they did.

The bus tour and the Boeing Factory tour were really interesting and worth doing. However, it did not really live up to our expectations. The greater part of the 90mins for the factory tour was taken up by travelling to and from the work halls, walking and bus, so viewing time was limited. Was well priced though. Booking through Viator was great and cheaper than any other way.

Enjoyed factory tour. Guide was especially interesting and extremely knowledgeable. Would have preferred a slightly smaller tour group but such is the popularity of Boeing.
