Seattle City Tour
Description
As a military veteran, we honor veterans by allowing you to use the Seniors discount 62. Now this tour is like binge watching three episodes of your favorite program, minus the zombies & dragons. I do have a troll, a Space Needle, waterfall, giant Amazon spheres and Pixar UP House just like the movie floating houses (Sleepless in Seattle) We will even show you where Boeing 1st airplane took flight. If you have never seen Jurasick Park Pterodactyls come March - July to see them, I ain’t lying. This tour is both structured & spontaneous, guaranteed to learn and laugh. Yes, you will see the famous sights, and unique neighborhoods as well. Thank you Viator for awarding Seattle's Best Tours as a TOP 20 Experience in the USA in 2022 - 2023

This is the best view of the Space Needle/Downtown Area, If the weather is clear you will get a beautiful photo of Mount Rainier or as the First Nations call it Mount Tacoma. 10 - 15 minutes.
The Museum in next to the Space Needle, so you can get a photo or get dropped off here at the end of the tour. (see Space Needle)
The Fremont Troll, this is not a guaranteed stop, if parking is available and gueste want to stop, we stop, as there isn't much room to stop and is patrolled by traffic cops and complaining neighbors.
Waterfall in the middle of Pioneer Square

The Home of Amazon.com and the first Amazon no pay grocery store.
The Ballard Locks are what the locals call it. If it is the right time of year, you will see salmon returning to the fresh water lakes where they were born to spawn. Possibly seals & a sealion on two, sometimes Eagles are hunting for fish & bird eggs, hence nesting Blue Herons perched high in trees on giant nest. Wild Kingdome meets Seattle.

Fantastic trip through Seattle, and the tour guide Ron was incredible. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining😂. We would strongly recommend this tour to visitors as a good starting guide for your Seattle trip.
Traveled through not so beautiful neighborhoods. Nothing to see there! Flew by space needle! He was late 20 minutes and talked for 10 before leaving. He was full of information, but too much silly talk/joking. Van was bumpy, older, and not a smooth ride. Cut things short and blamed it on the fact that we needed to be back by 4:00, not that he started tour 30 minutes late! He was sarcastic about dropping us off one block away from his scheduled drop off point and spoke about all the one way streets he would encounter now because of us! We let it go. We would not recommend! We had just gotten off a cruise and thought this would be a pleasant afternoon with little or no walking involved. Not the best. Do not recommend!
100% recommend this tour. The tour guide was very informative about Seattle. He let us out by the floating houses, the troll, the locks and the space needle to take pictures and just walk around. The highlight of this tour for me was seeing the seals on the locks. The guide even bellowed like a seal to get them to come to us. Great Tour!!
Our host Earl brought us on an informative, entertaining, and knowledgeable adventure. He's the best.
Kind of expensive but an awesome tour guide, Earl. So knowledgeable and personable and good sense of humor. Enjoyed the city overview and points of interest that were brought to our attention. Stopped at very interesting places as well. We think it helped having such a great tour guide and his driving was outstanding too.
Earl was a great and very knowledgeable about the present and past of Seattle. He kept most of us in stitches! He was very considerate of my husband and his bad knees. Would highly recommend Earl!
Earl was fantastic and so funny. Gave a great tour of Seattle and well worth the 3 hours. Highly recommend.
This was a great day we saw Seattle as a an evolving city. Did a lot of exploring of the different neighborhoods. It is an experience that we will remember.
Captain Ron was great! This tour was so good as it gives you a perspective on where everything is. We got great photo ops! Ron was filled with information and tips. It was great to be dropped off at Pikes Market.
The tour was comprehensive but we sat in the back of the bus and the air fan was above us so it was hard to hear everything. We enjoyed seeing the sites. I would recommend it.
