Great Seattle Tour

stephanie, May 2023

James was a great guide, showing us all around Seattle. We saw so much more of the city than we would have on our own and he had so much background knowledge from living in Seattle for ~30 years. Great tour and would highly recommend James.

Response from Host, May 2023

That's great to hear that you were able to learn so much about Seattle. We are glad you saw the value in taking our tour. We appreciate the review for James and recommendations to others.

First time in Seattle.

Mary_W, May 2023

Joe, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We were allowed plenty of time for picture taking. I'd use viator in the future.

Know Seattle city

Rezaul_A, May 2023

The guide was excellent. Unfortunately the tour bus was vintage model not very much to view outside as lot of over head obstructions for viewing. It was warm and humid and the air conditioning system was making noise instead of cooling. It was making so much noise that I could barely hear the narration by the guide.

Response from Host, May 2023

We are glad you enjoyed the guide. Unfortunately we are experiencing hotter weather than Washington normally does which has put a tole on our AC units as they are not prepared for AZ type temperatures. I will say though since this has been figured out we are addressing the issues on the buses that were struggling with cooling down and getting it resolved. Thank you for your feedback.

Good Tour

City Tour of Seattle is exciting adventure

Maryjane_L, May 2023

Joe was an outstanding tour guide. He knew Seattle very well, and interjected humor during the entire tour. I’ve been to Seattle several times, but our tour guide offered a new perspective to a city I love.

First visit to Seattle

Perpetua_C, May 2023

This was my first visit to Seattle. I found the Tour to be the perfect way to see the many different parts of the city. Having a guide who was a citizen of Seattle and who could put a personal perspective to the tour narrative was a plus.

Ehhh ok

Urszula_C, May 2023

I sign up for 4 hour city tour end up to be driven for over 9 hours because driver decide it to drop off after the tour people all over there preferred drop off point which was reticules he did not pick us up we had meeting point and from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm until we got dropped off that’s insane I did not know it’s a car pool tour. And there is other problem he had problem with my 4lbs service animal. That is against the law

Response from Host, May 2023

I would definitely like to hear more about your particular tour and tour guides name. Our tour should of never lasted for 9 hours. We also do allow service animals but they are on our private tours not public tours which is not against the law as long as we provide the service. Please contact our office and a manager so we can discuss your situation further as it does not seem like this was our company.
