Leavenworth Exclusive tour
Somnuk_P, Nov 2025
Excellent tour, communication and services. Moe, our driver and guide, pick us up at our air BNB which is a big surprise. We thought we'll have to uber to a meeting location. He was right on time with a big smile.

Slava was an amazing tour...
Roger_B, Oct 2025
Slava was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommend taking a tour with him
Great Day in Leavenworth
Vincent_M, Oct 2025
I have taken this tour twice during the last 12 months and found it to be the highlight of my annual trip to Seattle. What really made this day trip so special was our spectacular tour guide, Slav, who went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that everyone was having a great time. Slav really enjoys what he does, engages smoothly with the other guests and is a pleasure to be around. I appreciated that he gave us 3 hours in Leavenworth which is just the right amount of time. He provided excellent commentary and gave us just the right amount of quiet time. His driving made us all feel safe and comfortable. I will take this tour next year as long as Slav is the tour guide!

Leavenworth is...
GinPing_S, Oct 2025
Leavenworth is commercially built town to occupy the tourist for a day. There are natures to see as it is beginning of autumn hence foliage turning red etc Big foot and waterfall etc Other than that it is a big shopping MALL in Leavenworth. The guide SLAVA is great - helpful with ideas etc

Fun little day tour and doing something different for a Seattle experience
Dennis_C, Oct 2025
Slava was an amazing tour guide. The drive was very smooth despite the weather and road bumps here and there. Also, many stories were provided, anecdotal and historical which gave everyone a better connection to the areas we visted. The hikes, views, and nature was beautiful and very simple hikes that most people can do as well. The pit stops were plentiful which was also very appreciated, and overall, I had a ton of fun.

Disappointed
Kathy_S, Sept 2025
Our driver was an hour late picking us up so we stood outside waiting. I had to contact him after he was already 20 minutes late to find out when he would get to us, he didn't let us even know. The ride was quite rough at times. Leavenworth was nice.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Dear Kathy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry for the late pickup and rough ride—this isn’t our standard. We’re retraining on communication, We’ll use your feedback to improve our services. Best regards
A day to explore Leavenworth.
Anonymous, Sept 2025
It is a great experience. It is a long day. Between guest pickups, travel time, on our own time in Leavenworth and then guest drop offs, it quickly turns into a very long day. For us it was well worth the trip and the time. Our driver Slava was very knowledgeable and entertaining, it was a wonderful day! Would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Thank you for spending the day with us on the Leavenworth Exclusive Tour and for the thoughtful review! We know it’s a full, long day with pickups, travel, free time in town, and drop-offs—so it means a lot to hear it was well worth it. We’re thrilled that Slava’s knowledge and great energy made the journey fun and memorable. If you return, we’d love to host you again—Leavenworth is amazing in fall colors, the Christmas Lighting/market season, and Oktoberfest. If you prefer a shorter day next time, ask us about our private or small-group options so we can tailor the pace to you. Warmly, Oktay Tours & Travel team

Stephen_M, Aug 2025
Due to the lack of customers the tour operator wanted to cancel the tour, however, he did end up agreeing to continue the tour. The tour consisted of my wife and me only, the driver was from Africa and a very strong accent he was difficult to understand. He had little knowledge of Seattle history or information about the surrounding area. Leavenworth is a wonderful location and definitely worth the visit. The driver did not talk at all on the return drive back to Seattle so the drive was long and tedious.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Dear [Guest’s Name], Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. At the same time, we do want to clarify that instead of canceling your Leavenworth tour due to low participation, we did our very best to accommodate your booking by converting it into a private tour just for you and your wife, at no additional cost. We hoped this would allow you to enjoy a more personalized experience rather than face the disappointment of a cancellation. We understand that communication is an important part of every tour, and we regret that your guide’s accent and style made it difficult for you, He is from black community and he has been living here for more than 20 years . if you check the reviews our travelers always mentioned his kind and helpful. However, we will review this with your driver guide to ensure smoother and more engaging experiences going forward. We’re very glad you enjoyed Leavenworth itself — it is truly a special place — and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to host your trip. We hope to welcome you again in the future and provide an experience that better reflects the high standards we are known for. Warm regards,
