My wife and I had a completely free day; therefore, we planned on boarding this bus journey for just a day. We found it on the internet and the prices were really reasonable. The bus came right on time at the departure location in Seattle and we are headed to the Leavenworth, and then continue to the Snoqualmie region, which was perfect. The destinations were really decent and the buses on which we traveled were absolutely fine with a great team of diverse passengers on board. Thank you for this great bus tour! We loved it.

It was a nice little bus tour to the German village and the Snoqualmie Falls. We left our hometown at around 6:00 AM and reach Seattle where the tour bus arrived and picked us all the people. I was home bored with my family but my husband gave me an idea to take this one day journey. We first stopped at the Snoqualmie Falls and then we proceed to the German village somewhere in the Leavenworth. We shopped around the area buying so many things and the food all around this place was outstanding. I had such a great time on this day.

my daughter on the last Christmas holidays were constraining all of us to take this tour and visit the so-called Leavenworth Germantown. However, the tour people first showed us the Snoqualmie Falls which is quite a remarkable place in the Snoqualmie. We spent enough time there and then they drive us to the Leavenworth Germantown for which we took this tour. I was thinking that I may get bored but I was wrong because this bustling area had so much to offer to the visitors. I enjoyed there especially their food, it was amazing.

Despite planning a tour out on the weekend all by myself, my wife came up with this great idea of taking the family out on this bus, however, many of our relatives already have experienced it and they recommended us to experience it as well. Now that, we took the family out on this tour, according to my kids, they couldn’t have the best time since the attractions were quite bold for them, but we enjoyed our time shopping and dining around the old German town. We will certainly experience another bus tour in the summers.

I just really wished that this bus expedition have more departure locations for the passengers who want to take it. Rather, we departed from our hometown a day before the bus tour starts; Seattle is almost like 500 miles away from our hometown, which also cost us a lot. The tour on the other was quite cheap in price, paying 40 bucks for each person was not big deal for me since the fun, services, especially the destinations were truly worth experiencing this great bus expedition.

I don’t see why this tour is so popular among the people at my workplace. They often board the bus tours with different destinations each time, so they suggested me to pay around 50$ and book the tour seats, just I could also realize why this is so reasonable and enjoyable bus tour. According to my experience, the tour was not that bad, but rather, I think I could have scheduled the destination much better rather than just wandering around the German town, we also saw a massive waterfall on our way back.
