Traveler Tips

This is a must, especially if you don’t have a lot of time.

We opted to not get a car on this trip which made going outside of downtown a little more difficult for us.

I believe we covered most of the best parts of Seattle, and I recommend this tour to anyone looking for an easy and informative tour of this special city.

Not a caring business!!

Pouya_D, Jan 2023

First I would like to thank the tour leader who was one of the best story teller and super knowledgable guy who I ever have had tour experienced with. So I would like to be clear that this poor review has nothing to do with him. I took my mom to Seattle for the end of year vacation and Wednesday night we decided to go on this 3 hour tour for Thursday morning. In the morning my mom started sneezing and felt cold. So we thought either it is a cold or covid it’s better not to sit in the bus with other people. So I called right away to the tour company and told them myself will still join but my mom is sick and better not to join, so can they refund her ticket. They first told me to call them later when I get into the bus. But later when I called them after the tour started they told me sorry we can not refund your ticket. Like it’s not our fault your mom got sick and she could join. Seems they don’t care to put other passengers in danger and take a sick person on the bus and also I am wondering why they told me to call them back after the tour started, was it their trick or what?This is not the customer service we expect these days I definitely don’t like to support this kind of businesses!!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Pouya, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback from the tour you enjoyed. When you booked your tour on Wednesday evening, you were already within the 24 hour cancellation window. This means that once you book, there is no possibility of a refund, no matter the reason. This is very industry-standard, and we feel our 24-hour cancellation policy is fair. If I book tickets to the theater in the morning for that evening and get into an accident on my way to the theater that evening, I don't expect the theater to refund my money because I wasn't able to attend that evening. I took the chance when I booked that morning that I would be able to make it that evening. You were asked to call back after the tour (not during the tour) because a manager wasn't in during your initial call and that is who handles these situations. There was no "trick" involved. Knowing there would not be a refund available before the tour should not have changed anything; if your mother is sick, she shouldn't be joining whether there is a refund available or not. When you called back, we offered to allow your mother to take the tour on a different day when she is feeling better. We are sorry that option didn't work for you, but we do stand behind our 24-hour cancellation policy. Wishing you all the best future travels ahead.
