HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE!!!

My wife and I were the only English speaking people in the nightmare tour. The tour guide forgot that we where there so all we had to listen was Chinese

A Day In Seattle

Driver was nice. Coach was clean, comfortable. 7 people went on the tour. The Tour discription said 4 stops but I think we only had 3. The Amazon Village (spheres), Space Needle/Food Court and Pike Place. It was a nice tour. I would recommend it.

Looking from above

Pikes market is huge so map it out before go on this tour because you won’t have time to see it all. This tours should allow at least 4 hours. The Amazon stop was not needed I would have liked to spend more time at the space needle and Pike Market.

Seattle day trip

The pick up location hasn't got a second option. But the driver was very helpful. The tour was running smoothly and quite enjoyable.

Terrible/untrustworthy

I booked an English speaking tour, was told I had a Chinese speaking tour, once I voiced my concerns the company did not refund money or listen to my concerns in not fulfilling their contract obligations with what I had purchased
