Terry, our guide, was outstanding in every way! He was knowledgable, a patient teacher, friendly, and flexible. He took us to some of the most interesting places in Seattle and we learned a lot about the city. There is no way we could have covered all the ground he did by ourselves. His tour bus was very clean and comfortable and he even provided bottled water and snacks during the day. We highly recommend this tour of Seattle and Snoqualmie Falls! Terry was very happy to share his knowledge of photography and helped us to take some wonderful pictures/videos/panoramic shots with our cameras as well as our cell phones. What a delightful day in the Seattle area!

On a recent first-time visit to Seattle, my 2 adult daughters and I decided to try the "Snoqualmie Falls and City Tour" hoping to get an overview of both downtown and some outlying areas. This tour was all we were looking for and more! In 3+ hours, we saw such a variety of fascinating spots in and around the city, when it was over and we stepped off the bus we felt like we truly had gotten to know many facets of Seattle and want to come back to explore more. Terry's knowledge of local history, culture, and interesting facts is remarkable. Coupled with his affable personality and genuine joy in sharing his knowledge, the "tour" feels more like spending time with a local friend. Careful thought has been put into the itinerary, and stops are adequate and relaxed with time for questions and pictures. Highlights? Snoqualmie Falls, the Ballard Locks, quirky Fremont and the troll, Theo's Chocolate, learning about Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, Seattle's music history...it's impossible to select what was best! Terry's background and skill in photography and the tips he freely imparts are a wonderful bonus! Don't miss this. It is money and time well spent.

Terry's tour was fabulous, his friendly tips on how to take pictures was useful at the Snoqualmie Falls. Our favorite part of the tour was the vie point at Kerry Park. We recommend this tour to get an overall feeling of the city and the amazing sites around it.
