To see the waterfall in it entirety travelers should be prepared to walk for 30 to 45 minutes on uneven surfaces mostly down and for a small portions up the road. You have option to stay with the driver if you feel not up to task. You still will see waterfall on the top and from the bottom view points.
We had a blast! Silas was an awesome driver and was very accommodating with our set time for our wine tasting. The snacks and water provided were an added bonus. Highly recommend!
After our Norwegian Bliss cruise to Alaska disembarking around 8:15 AM - we realized our flight was not departing till 9:25 PM - so we needed something to do but we’ve already seen the Needle and Pike’s place when we arrived before the cruise. This falls and winery tour was the perfect answer and our tour guide from Okaytours, Mehrdad went above and beyond of all our expectations and even dropped us off at the airport at the end of the day hours before our departure which was perfect timing with going through TSA and grabbing dinner. I do suggest to take advantage of Norwegian’s Luggage service where they take your luggage directly to the airport on your behalf (does cost your airports luggage fees) much nicer with tour and no luggage. The other suggestion is also coordinate with your tour guide when to time reservation with Chateau Ste Michelle for wine tasting and lunch (You must have reservations there to attend wine tasting) We skipped the chocolate tour and opted to include a Whiskey tasting after the wine tasting/lunch at Woodinville Whiskey which is a few feet away from Chateau Ste Michelle. He then takes you around to famous landmarks and gorgeous water views.
My brother and I did this tour as part of our Seattle visit and got more than we expected. Mehrdad navigated the falls as well as several Seattle attractions (a bonus!) with ease. He offered transport to Woodinville wineries of interest but we opted to stay at Chateau St. Michelle and walk to the whiskey distillery. It was so nice to have a knowledgeable and courteous guide!
Our guide was very accommodating and devoted to showing us what Washington has to offer!
Dear Hailey, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great day on our Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour and that your guide made the experience accommodating and enjoyable. It was our pleasure to share the beauty of Washington with you, and we truly appreciate your kind words and support. Warm regards,
Excellent driver. Very knowledgeable of the area. When we booked with Viator they wld not accommodate our hotel so we walked to a nearby one they did. The driver brought us back to where we were staying no problem. He said they do accommodate. Loved the tour. The falls were beautiful and enjoyed winery and whiskey places. Would highly recommend this tour.
Dear Angela, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Snoqualmie Falls and Wineries Tour and that your driver-guide made the day smooth, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We’re especially happy that you loved the beautiful falls and enjoyed the winery and whiskey stops. It was our pleasure to make your experience comfortable from start to finish, and we truly appreciate you choosing Oktay Tours & Travel. Warm regards,
We did not get to go on this tour as we received notification at 5:30 the evening before that there was no other people that reserved the trip and they were going to cancel it, leaving us little time to plan something else. They did offer an alternative trip to Leavenworth. Because we did not have a back up plan, we decided to go. It would not be something we recommend doing. Had we had more time to plan something we would have decided on something different and would not go with this tour company.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that your original tour could not operate as planned due to the minimum number of guests not being met. This is a rare situation, and we sincerely understand how disappointing it can be to receive a schedule change during your visit to Seattle. Because we value our guests’ time and travel plans, we always do our best to provide helpful alternatives whenever possible. In your case, we offered our Leavenworth tour at no additional cost, even though it is normally a higher-priced experience, so you would still have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful and memorable day in Washington. We are sorry that this alternative did not work for your plans, and we regret that we were not able to make the experience happen for you. We truly appreciate that you chose Oktay Tours & Travel, and we hope we may have another opportunity to welcome you in the future and provide the level of service our guests expect from us. Warm regards, Daniel Oktay Tours & Travel OktayTour.com
Mohamed was amazing on this tour,we get to stop at all the beautiful places in Seattle, I like the way Mohamed handled the tour because one of the traveler was so difficult and demanding,thank you Mohamed for your patient
The title of this tour was misleading. We expected to visit wineries in the Woodinville area. However, most of the places were tasting rooms. The itinerary noted a visit to Chateau Ste. Michelle winery, which we were not able to get in because it was closed for a special event. The tour operator, not our driver Silas, should have been aware of the closing and advised us. We were advised to make reservations at our favorite wineries. However, this was our first visit to the area and did not know of any tasting rooms we wanted to go. Our lunch stop at the Hollywood Tavern took over an hour, which shortened the time to visit tasting rooms. Silas was very kind & told us he would drive us wherever we wanted to go. Some in the group went to a park and the rest of us were dropped off at Wine Alley, where were went to Tsillan Winery. The Alley had several tasting rooms. Wish we would have gone there first. All four of us did enjoy walking to the viewing area of Snoqualmie Falls and a little hike to view the bottom of the fall. Silas was kind enough to pick us up there, so we wouldn't have to walk back up to the parking lot.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the winery portion of the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Woodinville has more than 130 wineries and tasting rooms, each with different sizes, styles, availability, and reservation requirements. Since our guests come from many different places and have different tastes, we always explain in advance that if there is a specific winery you are interested in, we strongly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We’re also sorry Chateau Ste. Michelle was closed for a special event during your visit. We appreciate your kind words about Silas and are glad you enjoyed Snoqualmie Falls and the extra care he provided. Your comments are very helpful, and we will use them to improve the guest experience. Warm regards,
