I took the Snoqualmie Falls and City Tour back in July with my mom who was visiting and it was probably the highlight of the time she spent here. Terry is an awesome tour guide with a ton of interesting information on the places seen throughout the tour. He took some amazing pictures of us at the Falls and at Kerry Park, but also gave some very useful photography tips to employ. The trip to Snoqualmie as others mentioned is long, but for those like me who had not been to the area before the long ride is a good thing in order to take in the views (and not to mention the stories and anecdotes Terry brings up along the way make the time fly.)

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hour tour with Terry. The bus was very comfortable and he drove the small group up to Snoqualmie Falls, then back into the city of Seattle for stops at multiple points of interest. He filled the travel time with numerous anecdotes/trivia/history about the area, and offered excellent photography tips/advice. I highly recommend this tour!

After reading several reviews and making some comparisons of my own, I chose Shutter Tours. I am so glad I did! I was impressed that this is a small company, the owner and one other guy are the tour guides. They provide a convenient pick up service at your hotel. Best of all, the tour included an over view of the city neighborhoods, and stops at Theo's Chocolate, Kerry Park, Ballard Locks, and Snoqualmie Falls. Chandler was our tour guide, he did a great job! He had lots of interesting information about the area and helpful photography tips. Water and granola bars were provided, which helped tide us over until we could grab a late lunch. We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to everyone.
