Seattle tour

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our Seattle tour with Soma! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, making the entire experience relaxing and fun. She paced the day perfectly, ensuring we had plenty of time to explore on our own while providing great insights and guides. Highly recommended!

Great tour only issue was they combined us with another group which extended a 6 hour day by 2 hours. Made the day too long.
