Boeing Factoy Tour from Downtown Seattle with guide
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.

Earl was great fun and the consummate host/driver and raconteur (be sure to ask him about his acting career). We enjoyed the banter and I enjoyed teaching him some Aussie slang!! Sticky beak etc…. Cheers mate!!
It was great to have the opportunity to visit the Boeing Co. However, I believe that the time allocated for the experience was not enough. Maybe a bit longer would have been a better fit.
Thanks Wilfrdo for the feedback, perhaps I will start the tour earlier, and on your particular tour when I was picking up at the Hyatt Regency in Seattle one of the guests could not find her wallet, which delayed our departure time, turns out she had left it behind the couch in the hotel room. And you were staying in Bellevue which added a little more time to the transportation part of the tour. Currently I am the only one that picks up in Bellevue, but I will take your comment into consideration. Thank you so much for the feedback. Earl
Earl is great, best tour in Seattle!
The driver was on time and ver knowledgeable of Seattle area. Boeing tour guide very informative! Great experience!
The facility is very nice, drive from Seattle Downtown not that bad if you beat the traffic. Not quite what we were expecting, we took a tour here, which pretty much guaranteed our transportation getting there. But it only cost $46 for an adult ticket to enter,which was included in our tour. However the tour for us was a little disappointing, we thought we would really walk thru the facilities and see the planes in production but it wasn't really set up that way. The tour guide was informative and easy to hear and understand,that was a plus. If you enjoy aviation, it will still be enjoyable. We just expected a little more for the cost.
Hi Kenya, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I appreciate that you distinguished between my service and the Boeing Factory Tour itself. I'll send you a link to Boeing's review page, as I don't have control over that portion of the experience. The factory tour is operated entirely by Boeing employees, who determine the route, presentation, guest access, and all tour procedures. For safety and security reasons, visitors are not permitted to walk through the factory floor. One point I hope you'll consider is that round-trip transportation to the Boeing facility is included as part of my tour. An Uber to the factory can easily cost around $100 each way, and it wouldn't include the narration, Seattle sightseeing, local insights, or the convenience of seamless transportation to and from the facility. I understand that the Boeing portion of the experience didn't meet your expectations, and I genuinely appreciate your honest feedback. Since your review appears on my Viator listing rather than Boeing's, I hope you'll consider that the factory tour experience itself is entirely managed by Boeing, while my role is to provide transportation, sightseeing, and service before and after the factory visit. Thank you again for joining the tour. I truly appreciate your business and wish you all the best. Earl
