Traveler reviews
Not the best tour for the money.
The locha were interesting but the tour guide was difficult to understand as well as understand us. We were supposed to have a larger vehicle like a bus but we ended up on a private tour all crammed into a Volvo suv. Not happy about the fact that my mother in law had to be crammed between me and my brother in law on the back seat. I am glad I wasn't driving as the traffic was very busy. She did drop us off where we needed to go which I appreciate we did see a couple cool things but I feel I paid $100 pp for a $50 tour. Which was a little bit of a let down since I was in charge of picking tours.
Seattle full day tour
Ryan was very knowledgeable this was a fabulous tour and a great way to learn about Seattle he was supper friendly. We had a wonderful time with him the whole full day. Thanks for a wonderful day.
Anna was sweet & knowledgeable
Anna picked us up promptly, gave us ideas about the sites to see in Seattle, and incorporated any requests that we had. Anna is bilingual, and she had a lady from China along in the group. It was interesting to see their interactions, and by the end of the tour we were all great friends.
It was not what we expected for what we paid, I do not recommend it.
They told us 10 hours, but it was 7. However, we wanted to see more places in the city of Seattle, and we saw less than expected because the stops took a long time in places that were not as interesting as we had hoped. It was just the two of us and four Chinese passengers who did not speak English, so I was translating for my husband in Spanish, while the guide spoke in Chinese with the others and with me in English. It was very stressful, especially because we spent an hour at the Space Needle without the entrance included, and we were there for half an hour. Then, at Pike Market, we spent two and a half hours, and we were not interested in a food tour, which seemed like too much time wasted there. Then we went to the top of a building to see the views of the city with the entrance included, but we only stayed for half an hour. Finally, we went to Chinatown, where we did not get out of the car because the guide told us it was too much walking. He brought a sandwich for each of us, while the other passengers ate there, and then we went back to the hotel. That tour is not worth what we paid. We expected more from such a beautiful city.
Recommend tour
The tour guide Anna is excellent. The 7 places visited are worthwhile to see.
