We had such a great few hours! Our guide/driver was wonderful, funny, entertaining and provided just enough flavor of the city. We both drove around and had stops at selected locations to enjoy the best views and take pictures. We were not rushed but also time wasn't too long for teenagers to get bored. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a lot in little time.

Our guide Terry is a Seattle native and knowledgeable about all things Seattle and the surrounding areas. Yes, you will learn how to pronounce Snoqualmie! Be prepared to learn some photo composition tricks during the day. The return trip to Seattle includes a few nice surprises. I really enjoyed the fish ladder and locks. Terry provided excellent restaurant recommendations too. I highly recommend this tour. I would put the activity level at 1.
