Cas and Michalina both are really great tour guide, they’re so kind and friendly. Introduce a lots of history about Seattle, it’s an awesome experience!!! Thank you for you both!
Took this day trip to Seattle on 11April2026. Brett was our guide and he was FUNtastic!!! Well organised, well informed. Except for a 15 min delay (1 passenger was late) leaving Seattle to head back to Vancouver, everything else was as scheduled. Mr. Kay, the bus driver, smoothly & safely drove the big bus, putting all passengers to sleep when Brett had no commentaries. Very recommendable trip.
We had an amazing day today, the guide Helene was really helpful and welcoming! The trip was well organized and we didn’t have any issues or delays. Really wanna go again soon.
We're glad to hear you had an excellent tour with Helene! Hope you join us again soon.
At first I was very worried about not knowing anyone, but by the time I got to Seattle I had made friends and enjoyed sightseeing in Seattle. Also, watching baseball in Seattle was my first baseball game. It was a very exciting and fun game. It was thanks to West Trek's amazing guide that I was able to experience this. Thank you so much for this precious opportunity.
We're happy to hear you made some friends and had an amazing time in Seattle! Thank you for your review.
The tour was really nice – we got to explore the downtown and see the main attractions. Our guide Ivy and our driver Kay were both very kind and helpful throughout the tour!
Thank you for your review! Seattle is a great city and we're happy to hear you had a great time with our team Ivy and Kay. We hope you had an amazing time and hope to see you back again soon!
On October 2019 I did one day in Seattle with a friend : since the beginning, the tour guide, Michelle was super professional, and friendly. With Angie, the other tour guide, They did a really good job explaining us a lot about the city, history, fun facts,... Lisa the driver did a really good job too, extremely friendly and always smiling. Would recommend that tour :)
Thank you very much for your amazing review!
I booked a one day day trip to Seattle and it was great! Sachi and Joseph where good guides. They knew a lot about Seattle and they shared alle the information and ideas with us. In the bus we could book the tickets to the Space Needle or the Pop Museum already, which was nice so we could skip the line. For me one day Seattle was enough to see the highligts, esspecially with al the information we got from our guides and driver. Shawn was a good driver and he also knew a lot about Seattle and he was really helpfull, he dropped us at another station so that we were earlier at home.
Thank you very much for your review!
