Great Seattle coffee tour

Tod was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and you could tell he cared a lot about the city of Seattle. Tod covered coffee in depth but also the history it and Seattle. I would recommend.

If You’re Touring Seattle, Ask for Tod!

We booked a private coffee tour through Intrepid Travel, and Tod was absolutely incredible! This was our first experience with Intrepid, and Tod set the bar incredibly high. From the very beginning, he was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in making the tour special for us. He took his time and never made us feel rushed. Along the way, he shared so much about Seattle, its history, the different neighborhoods, and the local coffee culture while taking us to some really unique coffee spots we never would have discovered on our own. What impressed me most was how much Tod personalized the experience before we even met him. My daughter and I own a coffee company (@goldencoffeecomi) in Michigan, and Tod had actually looked up our business ahead of time. He knew about our summer menu (my daughter the creator) and used that knowledge to tailor the tour around our interest in coffee. That extra effort meant so much to us and made it feel like this truly was a private tour designed specifically for than a standard tour with our names added to it. Tod was also just an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. Conversation was easy, he answered our questions, shared great recommendations, and clearly loves Seattle and what he does. This was our first time booking with Intrepid Travel, and I will book again for sure!! We already know we want to come back to Seattle, and when we do, we will absolutely be looking for another Intrepid experience and requesting Tod if we can! Thank you, Tod, for giving us such a memorable day in Seattle. You were truly one of the highlights of our trip! ❤️
