We were recently in Seattle with a family group of ten people, ranging in age from 9 to 83. Terry Divyak , the owner of Shutter Tours, was our fabulous guide on a private Snoqualmie Falls and City Tour. I can not possibly say enough good things about Terry and the time we spent together! Terry is super knowledgeable, totally current, and most importantly, kind and considerate. We were shown everything we had planned, plus so much more. Terry gave us a real insiders tour of Seattle and the Falls, and was incredibly generous with his time. Also, he gave photography tips to every skill level in our group and he took some incredible family photos of our entire group as well. Terry went above and beyond in every possible way that he could to make his tour our best tour in Seattle!

Being a lifelong Seattle area resident, I'm glad you enjoyed the insiders view of the tour and your group was so gracious and fun to share the city with. It's always fun to have large groups together so we can take family photos that will be remembered for years to come. Thank you for your wonderful comments and I appreciate your family sharing the day with us. Terry Divyak Owner - Shutter Tours

We had only a few days in Seattle and did not want to rent a car. We wanted to see the best of Seattle. Terry provided that with Snoqualmie Falls and Seattle City Tour. He also includes great photo tips and local information as to what to see in a small amount of time. Ride was comfortable and Terry at the end of the tour dropped us off at Space Needle which we visited on our own time.

Terry was smart, funny, and capable. We saw the highlights of Seattle plus Snoqualmie Falls. He is competent with a variety of cameras and took good photos of/for us--which was especially important to me since I was on the tour solo. You will want to take time later to visit the Market and the Space Needle and Art Museum and such if you have time, but you get a good start with a city tour.
