Since I came solo, I didnt have someone to take photos of me & he took some really cools ones! (My profile picture was taken by him)

I really recommend taking this tour!! We had a gorgeous day so we were able to visit quite a few stops and take tons of pictures. My favorite ofcourse was Paradise. He even took us all to an ice cream shop after the trip!
Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Our driver Lucas was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

If we are lucky enough to make it to this area again we will take the tour again.

  Great tour! We live in Western Washington but wanted to learn a little more about Seattle. Our tour guide, Joe, was very informative and entertaining! He made... read more a few extra stops and gave us plenty of time to take pictures at different highlights of the day.

Our adventure specialist (tour guide), Mark, picked us up, on time, in our hotel parking lot. We booked a group tour; however, other members... read more of the group (elsewhere) were unable to make it...so, we received the 5-star treatment and toured around Seattle with our own personal guide. How amazing it was. Mark was like family 20 minutes into the tour. He was friendly, genuine and great with our 6-year-old. He was an expert communicator and ensured that we had the best experience possible. Heck, he even had a trivia game with the flashing lights for correct answers and the winning payments (still waiting for our check, BTW 🙂 ). Mark also adjusted his trivia to include our son. On top of all that, he was our own personal photographer, gave us great food recommendations and tips throughout the tour, and is an overall great human being. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him; and, hopefully, our paths will cross again in the future.

  We were on a tour with Cory, he was amazing guide. Very positive and useful. I am recommended this tour.
