Dreamtrip
The trip to Seattle was brilliant.
Ryan, our guide, did a fantastic job and looked after us brilliantly at the border checks, with the forms and on the ground. He also kept the short guided tour of Seattle informative and concise, whilst still covering the most important points.
I’d book the trip again and go to Seattle with Ryan.
Operator response
Thank you for the brilliant review! We’re so glad Ryan helped make your Seattle trip such a smooth and enjoyable experience. Border crossings can be a little daunting, so it’s great to hear he kept everything organised and helped make the process easy.
We’re also happy you enjoyed his guided introduction to Seattle. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Ryan.
Thanks for travelling with us, and we’d love to have you back on the road to Seattle again!

Great Seattle Day
Be ready for possible extended bus ride. Traffic jams and rain. Bring a book or something to keep yourself entertained

1-Day Seattle tour with Gavin
This was a great 1-day tour to Seattle. Gavin, our tour guide was informative and set expectations from the start of how the tour would actually be carried out. He was thorough and helpful filling out both customs forms.
He made sure everyone knew where to go, how much time they had on their own and when to return at the meeting point. I’d highly recommend this tour if you just wanna see the highlights of Seattle. It’s great to have a comfortable coach to relax and let someone else do the driving driving—you can take a nap!
The best part was Gavin’s anecdotal history facts that enhanced our experience. Overall, a good tour and a great tour guide!

FUNtastic Brett!
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.
