I would recommend this tour to every one. The only problem we had was seeing out of the tour bus as it had reflective windows which made it difficult to see or take photos. How ever our tour operator and driver was fantastic, very knowledgeable and extremely interesting to listen and talk to. She made our trip a real pleasure!

This was just amazing! The tour guide was really welcoming, told us a lot of inside stories about Seattle, and showed us some great hidden spots of the city. I can definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

A couple who did the same trip with a different driver said how good it was. They saw our driver and was not surprised by my comments. The driver was in love with himself, had learned his script but not knowledgeable otherwise. I stated that I was disabled and could not walk far when the trip was booked. He just strolled off with the passengers with no regard for anyone but himself. The trip is worth it, just get a good guide.

Disappointing. The tour guide was somewhat knowledgeable, but did not add to the experience. I had to call 3 times for my pick up which was very late and the driver circled back to pick me up and I missed the first part of the tour.

Guide was not very good.

We had a pleasant driver, a lovely day, and a great drive around, but I really didn't get to grips with the city. The information was interesting, but I felt a little like I was being herded around. Once on foot I explored the city to a better effect. Try using the public transport system, it's great.

Starting off nearly 30 minutes late was not the best start. The guide had a good bit of interesting information and knowledge, which he dispensed with a lot of enthusiasm. It was quite obvious he was interested in many areas of his city and knows what's going on there. He had a good sense of humor. I thought we would see a bit more than just the common tourist sights, or at least more of them. I thought we would get at least a glimpse of Capitol Hill, the University District, etc., and information on good ways to find our own paths back. Also, we spent way too much time at the salmon ladders and the the locks. That was the guide's personal interest, not his customers'. This was also a pretty difficult stop for many of the older people on the bus, as well as the handicapped. It was the only restroom stop, but he did not announce that one was available, and many of the people who needed a bathroom were unaware that one was available. For those who could not do the steep walk up and down, the restroom was out of the question. A better stop should be planned that could accommodate everyone. None of our party of four loved this tour, and we felt we could have done as well on our own. We could have used the money for a nice lunch or dinner somewhere!
Reviewed by: Anna T, United States of America, August 2007 Note from Viator: We apologize that you did not enjoy the stop at the salmon ladders and the locks. Time and again our guests say that the visit to the locks and the fish ladder was the highlight of the tour. This is the only guided tour offering an escorted visit to these sights, providing knowledgeable and fascinating insight into the history and operation of the locks and the life cycle of the salmon and its importance in our region. As for the restroom stop, please note there is a 15 minute restroom and refreshment stop before arriving at the locks and fish ladder. There is another restroom at the locks, just below the parking area a few yards.It is true that people with mobility issues may have a difficult time walking down from the parking area to the locks and fish ladder, depending on the severity of their issues. We recommend that anyone with mobility issues investigate the area for themselves to ensure that the area is accessible to them.
