You can't get a better introduction to Seattle than taking this tour. Terry has an encyclopedic knowledge on the history, facts and figures of Seattle. He was ever helpful, an excellent photographer with very useful tips on how to take photos. The ride was smooth and he embellished it with stories of the Seattle famous men. The timing at each stop was just right and the visit was very comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommended
