We specialized in private experiences for small groups. During the tour, we will make three stops in places of tourist importance. The first stop will be the Pioneer Square neighborhood located in the historic district of the old metropolis where we will visit the origins of Seattle on a walk suitable for the whole family and full of history, architecture, and photography. We will continue to the Ballard Locks for our second stop. We will see the boats enter and leave the Pacific Ocean to the lakes surrounding the city. Finally, we will end with one of the most impressive panoramic views before ending the tour where we can take some of the best photos of the city center. The tour ends at the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, or returned to your hotel. It is generally a 3-hour tour but it can be extended if the group wishes. This tour is highly recommended for children and adults of all ages. IMPORTANT: The tour is in English but it can be arranged in Spanish.
We start the tour in the center of the city where we explain to our clients how to explore the Pike Place market on their own, the shopping area, and how to get around using the monorail among other places.

The Troll sculpture is one of our clients' favorite attractions. There we will make a stop for photos.
We will continue to the Ballard Locks for our second stop. There we will see the boats enter and leave the Pacific Ocean to the lakes that surround the city.
The 'Fish Ladder' at Ballard Locks: Found south of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, the fish ladder was built in 1976 to facilitate access for salmon to their spawning grounds. Visitors can see the fish either above the 'ladder' or below the water, as some tank walls are made of transparent glass!

This was the first or second visit for most of our multigenerational party, and our guide kept us all engaged.
Thank you for your kind review! It was our pleasure to be part of the great start of your Pacific Northwest tour. We hope the rest of your journey is just as memorable.
We had a fantastic three hour driving tour of Seattle wonderfully presented by Mario. His detailed descriptions and presentation of the city, its architecture, history and neighborhoods was truly remarkable. We had amazing stops at the most interesting places and he tailored the tour to our specific interests and needs. We think Mario is a fantastic tour guide and we couldn’t be more pleased. We highly recommend Mario for any tour he may offer.
Thank you so much for your review! We truly enjoyed showing you Seattle and are glad you had a great experience with us.
Great 3-hour tour of the city and surrounding neighborhoods! Mario was a great host and was super knowledgeable. We saw a lot of different areas outside the city that we would never have had the opportunity to see. Mario was very kind and courteous. We enjoyed the tour very much!
Thank you so much, Julie! It was a pleasure showing you around Seattle. I’m glad you enjoyed the tour and had the chance to explore areas beyond the city center. Wishing you all the best in your future travels! 😊 —Mario, Hola Seattle
It was amazing! Mario showed us a side of Seattle that we ⁇ 't know without your help! The outskirts of the city! Super indicative!’
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed discovering the hidden gems around Seattle. It's always a pleasure to share the lesser-known spots with visitors. I'm glad I could make your experience special. Hope to see you again soon!
It was delightful to have Mario Gomez as our Seattle tour guide when we visited the city in mid-July with our 18 year-old granddaughter and her friend. As well as knowing all about Seattle, its history, its little idiosyncrasies, the things that have changed in the city and why they had changed, Mario also knew many of the best places to eat and where some of the ethnic communities hang out. He was a fountain of information even about the companies headquartered in Seattle, where they were located, where they started, etc. … he knew so much about the city! Mario even had a good perspective on places outside the USA and what attracted many people to visit, live and work in the USA and of course, Seattle. Marriott made our tour really interesting, took us to areas of Seattle not typically included in a tour and gave us a great appreciation of everything Seattle has to offer. Overall, our time with Mario seem to go by very quickly and we’d highly recommend using Mario for an excellent guided tour Seattle.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure showing you and your family around Seattle! -Mario
