Description
We are excited to announce the return of our Boeing Factory Tour beginning January 2026. We paused this tour during the global pandemic, but we’re back and better than ever. A few years ago, our company was ranked “Top 20 in the USA” by TripAdvisor/Viator—the only bus tour in Seattle to receive this distinction. On our Boeing Factory Tour experience, you’ll visit the historic launch site of Boeing’s very first airplane, built in 1916. The facility is truly massive—the largest steel structure in the world—with aircraft hangar doors as long as a football field. It is the only facility in North America where you can witness the construction of new commercial aircraft. Boeing’s Gallery features a variety of exhibits showcasing both current and emerging Boeing products and services, and you’ll also have the opportunity to do some plane-spotting from Boeing’s Skydeck. The Boeing Factory Tour itself is conducted by Boeing’s professional guides inside the manufacturing facility.

Great tour
Very good tour with entertaining tour guide. Easy to find at meeting point. Shared lots of information as he was driving. Went to all the stops advertised and we didn't have to drive!

My husband and I decided...
My husband and I decided to take this tour, and it was a great experience; the driver was very punctual. The experience inside the Boeing facility was excellent; the guide was very knowledgeable about Boeing's manufacturing process and answered all our questions throughout the tour. If you are interested in Boeing, it is a fascinating and enjoyable experience where you also learn a great deal. The return trip to the city was easy; the driver—who was quite knowledgeable about the subject—shared several interesting facts about Boeing and its origins. He also gave us recommendations on where to eat and what to visit in Seattle before dropping us off at the meeting point.

Highly recommend this tour with Earl!
Did this tour as my husband loves aviation and did the Boeing factory tour many many years ago and wanted to revisit. Very glad I read the reviews and booked this tour with Earl as the driver/guide. Earl is fab. He drove us there and back, and he chatted the whole way, has a wealth of information, is entertaining. Took us to some stops on the way back as an extra which we really appreciated. Thoroughly recommend doing this tour with Earl! Thanks from Chris & Tanushree, Cayman Islands

Book this excursion- ask for Ron!
What fun day! Ron was exceptional! His knowledge and combined humor makes this an excursion you want to book! It was our first visit to Seattle and we’re walking away with a ton of knowledge and even more new friends and memories! A day well spent!

Was interesting but...
Was interesting but pretty boring. Saw some planes in the construction process but there was not a lot of activity. Wouldn’t recommend it for the price. The best part was the van ride with Earl.

Excellent tour!
