A short walk north along the waterfront will bring us to Seattle’s most popular attraction, Pike Place Market. Here, your tour guide will help you navigate the multi-tiered marketplace and lead you to the best local artist stalls and eateries.

On tour you will get to learn about Seattle from a historic, geographic and cultural perspective which appeals to all ages. Our tours are designed to give guests as much of the Seattle experience as possible within a reasonable time-frame and each place covered on tour is discussed in-depth.

This tour offers a fresh look at Seattle which leaves guests with a new appreciation for the city's art, history and culture.

This is the quintessential Seattle experience put into a four-hour intimate tour that explores the many faces of the city.

Avoid the big buses, take the private tour with a personalized service and find your own way around the city.
