Our friendly tour guide gave us a taste of this busy and congested city. His knowledge and stories of the area kept us entertained during traffic delays.
Review by: buell35, July 2018
Recommended. We had an excellent tour guide that was knowledgeable and fun. He knew to hit the Space Needle first to avoid massive crowds. If you have limited time and want to check out the Seattle with interesting facts, go for it!

Our tour was a great way to be introduced to Seattle for the first time. Our tour guide, Gary Taylor, was so informative. He was the best. He gave us so much history of the city. He was funny and helpful. Well worth the price.

Review by: Jennifer C, March 2018
I went on this tour in June 2017 and overall felt it was a great tour to see all the main tourist attractions in a day. I recommend this tour!
Review by: Robert K, February 2018
If you have one day in Seattle this is the tour to take. And even if you have multiple days I would still recommend the store for great overview of the city.
Review by: Lisa H, January 2018
Loved it! Enjoyed the opportunity to explore on own time at the various sites.
Review by: Barnett152, January 2018
perfect combination with the hop on hop off bus. Our tour guide was informative and I had the BEST tour experience I have ever had due to his knowledge and friendliness

Great experience!
Review by: Sam S, November 2017
Great sightseeing tour. Was also a trip down memory lane based on a previous tour when I didnt have the time to go up the Space Needle. The extra upgrade to see the Space Needle without standing in line was well worth the effort. Beautiful view!
Review by: Maureen N, November 2017
Wonderful use of a one day visit to Seattle. Very informative guide. Lovely transportation.
Review by: Katherine D R, November 2017
We learned so much in such a short period of time. Would recommend this tour to anyone who only has a day or two to spend sight seeing. Daniel was the very cool and a great guide!!!
Review by: Kris N, November 2017
The tour was great, first let me say that the company was 200% the best. We got stuck on our ship due to some wacko with a knife. So we missed the departure time. The company picked up us after we were allowed off the boat and drove us to meet the tour group. They were great, the tour was great
Review by: pig4me, November 2017
What a nice tour, would recommend it to anyone any age. We enjoyed it very much. Space Needle was OK but Pikes Peak Market was great!!
Review by: Karen S, November 2017
I took this tour quite a long time ago and didn't realize I failed to leave a review until I was online reviewing a more recent tour I took somewhere else. Anyhow, I thought I'd go ahead and comment now. I found this tour to be very informative and fun. It was my first time in the Seattle area and it gave a nice overview of the area. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and the group size was small enough that it felt very personal. I later moved to the area and found myself re-visiting some of the spots we went to on our tour to share them with my visitors. I highly recommend this tour.
Review by: Ronette B, October 2017
As first time visitors to Seattle, this tour gave a great overview of the city and its neighborhoods taking us from Freemont you get to see the troll!, Fisherman's Terminal, the Hiram M Chittenden Locks, the Queen Anne neighborhood, Kerry Park overlook, Pike's Place, the Space Needle and more. Very informative and great tour guide!
Review by: Valerie A, October 2017
impressive tour, very knowledgeable tour guy, timing was perfect, and we had a great time I really recommend this tour
Review by: lynn.polkey, October 2017
Good way to see suburbs of the city that you wouldn't make the effort to see if you have limited time. Much of the tour was spent on the bus, so compared to another one that I did of Vancouver a few days earlier where we were off and on a few times I felt that this one was definitely much more sedentary, and perhaps suited to an older/traveller who is happy to just see things through windows type audience. I also felt that the quite laboured request for 'gratuities' close to the end was rather clumsy and uncomfortable. I was already intending to give something, but felt that the manner in which they were requested, along with the 'required' amount wasn't the nicest end to what was an otherwise good tour.
Review by: Venus W., October 2017
This tour is a great way to see and learn about Seattle in a short period of time. I would highly recommend this tour and our driver was very informative.
Review by: Melanie Q, October 2017
Really enjoyed this trip. A great way to see Seattle in a day and decide where to visit by yourself. Learned lots of useful information about Seattle and got a chance to visit places we wouldn't have know about by ourselves._br/_ Our driver was great and knowledgeable about the city and chatted a lot to us about the city and the surrounds._br/_ The trip was just about the right length for us and didn't start too early.
Review by: Michael D, October 2017
The tour was a ride around town, stopping at the space needle so that we could stand on a short line to enter. The tour guide did not explain fully or show us where the line formed. The stop at the farmer's market was enjoyable.
Review by: David W, October 2017
Andy and tour was great. Very accommodating on group needs. Saw sooooo much in short period. Lots of tips on what to do after independently. Loved it!!!
Review by: Walter P, June 2017
We loved our Seattle in One Day tour! Our guide, Barry, was quite knowledgeable about the city, suggesting places for us to visit in more detail as we drove through the beautiful city. In fact, he mentioned that the Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor exhibit would be at the Pacific Science Center through September 4, 2017, which was something we had wanted to see for a long time! The Museum is fantastic! We would definitely recommend a visit there!
Review by: TheKeeper, June 2017
Is this a tour for people with disability? I can not explain it any other way. We were just driven around the city and more than once. We didn't stay enough in the Space Needle and we lost time just driving around the city again and again instead of going somewhere to the suburbs to see something more. We visited some places out of the city, were we where we were either not allowed to leave to bus or where we were given 5 minute to get off just for WC. 100 waste of money and time.
Review by: Phillip E, June 2017
We had one day in Seattle before a cruise and booked this tour. Mark was our tour guide and he was incredible! The 6 hours flew by and we would highly recommend this tour. We have traveled and taken tours worldwide and this is as good as it gets. Mark even rearranged the schedule so we would be at the Space Needle when the skies were clear. Great tour.
Review by: Paulette C, June 2017
Never having been to Seattle, this was a great convenient tour to see the town, and a comfortable mini van in the cold. Liked the hotel pickup and drop-off. Wish we had a tad more time..Chocolate factory was closed. We got back a tad early, because the driver said we were all so punctual..LOL..Good it was almost 6 hours..Good way to start the Seattle experience and get a feel of the City.
Review by: mcontiguglia, June 2017
This is the second time I have booked a tour through Viator and was not disappointed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a very pleasant person. This 6 hour tour is a great introduction to the city.We had perfect weather for a sightseeing tour and our view from the Space Needle was spectacular. Pike Place Market was fun and our stop at Theo's chocolate was definitely appreciated. I would recommend this tour for people visiting Seattle.
Review by: Debby H, May 2017
My husband and I booked this all day tour and were totally impressed with Seattle and our tour guide_br/_ Captain Ron. Being from the east coast in rural Maryland, I was glad we had Capt. Ron doing the driving!_br/_ I found the traffic in Seattle more than I could have handled. We enjoyed all the places he took us, and being_br/_ picked up and returned to your hotel was a great benefit. Ron was also kind enough to explain how the light rail and _br/_ monorail worked, so we could use them when we got back from our cruise. We enjoyed 3 more days in Seattle and had _br/_ a great vacation. Thank you Viator and Capt. Ron.
Review by: Clarence W, May 2017
Pike Place was really crowded--first good weekend and traffic and peds were crazy...but recommendations of driver were spot on and we were able to see everything and have an extremely nice visit! SpaceNeedle was really neat. Thanks!
Review by: Bob, May 2017
Great tour of the city. Many photo ops. One hour at the space needle was barely enough time. Two hours at Pike Place allowed enough time for lunch and a quick tour of the market place. The driver was knowledgeable and courteous. Pick up and drop off at the hotel was on time. The city is crazy busy with traffic so this was a great tour to let the driving to others.
Review by: Robin L B, March 2017
Absolutely worth the money. I live here and learned so much!!!!
Review by: Jessica R, March 2017
This tour was long, but didn and #39;t seem like it. We got to see all of Seattle and being provided with some history! It and #39;s a really great way to experience Seattle if it and #39;s your first visit!
Review by: Danette, January 2017
This tour isn't worth the price and I actually left it when they stopped for 2 hours for a lunch break at Pike Place. We were left to fend for ourselves and then make it back to the bus. Pike Place is only worth a 30 minute stop at best and it's too busy to actually enjoy lunch.
Review by: BARBARA C, October 2016
Good general tour of Seattle including outskirts. Steve, our guide, was knowledgeable and punctual about break times. Beautiful city. We also went to the Chihuly exhibit by the Space Needle--well worth the extra expense. Art sculpture is stunning in its variety of forms and color. The two hours at Pike Market at lunch time was crowded which left little time for sightseeing if you want to eat lunch. Our guide and driver did a fine job of introducing us to this fabulous city.
Review by: katharina m, October 2016
This full day trip was fabulous. The views, the sites, the pleasant driver sharing tons of information made for a very enjoyable day and way to enjoy Seattle in One Day!!
Review by: Carol, October 2016
Easy sightseeing of all major Seattle sites Want a relaxing, low stress tour that offers all the major sights of Seattle? If so, this tour is for you. No rush, ample time at each venue, lunch on your own, all easy. In addition, Chihuly Gardens is right by the Space Needle. Do yourself a favor and visit this gorgeous exhibition of blown glass.
Review by: Anita W, October 2016
Loved the tour.
Review by: Roy C, October 2016
Could skip Pike Place Market and pick up the glass museum.
Review by: bobzag007, October 2016
Our driver on the sightseeing tour, Adam, did a great job with his insightful narration. He made the tour fun! As a first-time visitor to Seattle, I was in awe at the history of this city.
Review by: Wilfred B, October 2016
Our tour guide, Woody was delightful. He was very knowledgeable of the city, friendly, and covered a lot of interesting points. We also had a great group.
Review by: Lowell M, October 2016
Wonderful experience. Steve, I believe that was his name, did an excellent job of touring the city and giving us a very broad view of some interesting sites in the city. We visited a chovolate factory, the original Starbucks coffee house and very lovely parts of the city. It was well worth the price and would recommend this tour highly. Lowell and Diana Miller, Florida

Great overview of the city!
Review by: Toni M, September 2016
Awesome!
Review by: Louise C, September 2016
Steve was wonderful! So informed and articulate, I especially liked that he dresses well, and looks professional, and was an excellent driver, I always felt perfectly secure and safe. Thanks for a good day.
Review by: James P, September 2016
Wonderful overview of the city. Our first visit to Seattle and wanted a taste of the city so this trip fit the bill. It makes us want to come and spend more time there. _br/_ We were picked up and dropped at our hotel and had interesting and informative drivers._br/_ Good value since we didn't want to try to find our way around a new city and this trip hit the highlights for us.
Review by: Louise E, September 2016
Way too much time spent at Peak's Market, would rather see more sights than wander around trying to kill 2 hours.
Review by: Patricia B, September 2016
A great tour. See it all at a very reasonable pace. Pike Place Market for lunch. Stops for pictures had enough time. tour guide was great. This tour did a pickup and drop off at our SeaTac hotel.
