This tour EXCEEDED my expectations — and I have done guided tours in many cities. Mark was an amazingly knowledgeable guide — he has clearly studied the history and goes beyond just citing a series of facts.
I must admit that this was essentially a private tour — I was the only person who signed up! But they didn’t cancel the tour (which I greatly appreciated as this was my only opportunity to see the city) — and I felt like I got the FULL experience without any shortcuts or skimping. Mark offered to take pics at a few key places so I could be in the photos — and he’s a great photographer, too! He also asked about my particular interests so he could emphasize certain places of interest.
I enjoyed the tour thoroughly and was pleased at how much I was able to see in 3 hours. I definitely want to make a return visit to Seattle to enjoy the museums and all the city has to offer. Thank you, Mark and Tours Northwest!!
