Another great benefit is there is NO extra charge to be picked up at 90 percent of Seattle hotels- we are the ONLY tour company to offer this benefit- GRATIS!

The tour was great. My cousin, a Seattle resident, was amazed, when I told him about it, at how many sights we covered in a short time. If we had stayed longer we would have returned to several of the sites we passed. Lucinda was a great guide with lots of history and other information but also did not talk non-stop or tell silly jokes, which I can find annoying. So my daughter and I truly enjoyed the experience.
