Keith was really knowledgeable and an overall fun and friendly guide. He helped highlight many parts of downtown that you'd ordinarily just walk by, and his explanations helped add another dimension of connection to the city. Now when we walk by some of these public works, we'll be more appreciative of them because of the stories they tell.

Very knowledgeable gentleman. Enjoyed the history. If we didn’t go on the tour, wouldn’t know about the monorail and all of the museum.

Really enjoyed this tour with a personable, knowledge and enthusiastic tour guide (Keith). I learnt a lot about the history of the architecture in Seattle, and really enjoyed visiting the public art around the Seattle centre, which it was really great to hear Keith’s thoughts on, as well as lots of interesting facts about the various pieces.
