PICKUP POINTYour journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle. He will first take you to Seattle’s bustling downtown core, highlighting the Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Shopping District, and the world’s first Starbucks.
Then you will have a chance to explore the city’s Waterfront area. Home to Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, Cambodian, and Hmong communities, this neighborhood plays a role in Seattle’s multicultural identity. Seattle’s waterfront includes the aquarium, Ferris wheel, classic seafood restaurants, funky souvenir shops, historic piers, and ferry and water taxi terminals. You will walk along the docks and see the storefronts that have made this location iconic for over a century. Finally, we will stop for coffee at a local cafe before we walk up to the Pike Place Market.
The Pike Place Market has years of stories, which your tour guide will gladly share during the visit. It is the country’s longest continuously operating Farmer’s Market, with more than 5 million travelers visiting annually. But most people don’t understand what makes it more of a community than a tourist destination – the taste. Foodies from all over the world come here to enjoy the food from some of the most reputable vendors in the Market. It’s fresh; it’s different, and absolutely delicious.
And, of course, no tour of Seattle is complete without a visit to its iconic symbol – The Seattle Center, which is the home of the Space Needle, Paul Allen’s Experience Music Project, Dale Chihuly’s Garden and Glass exhibition, and the Pacific Science Center. Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill provides a dramatic panoramic photo opportunity of Seattle’s skyline. You will also view the spectacular architecture and aesthetics in one of the city’s more exclusive, old-money neighborhoods.
By the end of the day, you’ll know Seattle like a native – its history, legends, fascinating sights, and all the best places for food, shopping, and entertainment.

This tour was wonderful! Eric was knowledgeable and made the trip so much fun. We covered a lot of ground in six hours but didn’t feel tired at all. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Seattle.

Our guide Patrick was a delight! He gave us a good taste of Seattle and some of its landmarks and districts. We especially enjoyed the locks and the fish ladder. It was not your typical tour; it was a highly personalized experience planned around our goals and preferences.
Christian –
What a great day! Tons of interesting facts that we would never have known and went all over the city to places we would never have seen if we did it ourselves. The trip lasted half hour longer than scheduled, but our tour guide didn’t seem to bother, we never felt rushed, and he seemed to enjoy taking us around his city. He also gave us a lot of useful recommendations on where to go or what to do in our free time. Thank you!
