I was born and raised in the city of Seattle, but unfortunately, I haven’t enjoyed touring the city until I departed on this 1-day bus tour. I was young when I left this city for work but now that I came back and tour this city on this amazing bus tour, it really opened my eyes that this city is heaven. This 1-day tour took us to the Boeing Factory, Pioneer Square, and several others like Space Needle, and EMP museum. But the best of all was the Boeing factory tour. I liked this tour and I will take this one day tour again with my kids and family.

I remember I was in Seattle for some work from Australia. Some of my colleagues recommended visit this city and see what this magnificent city has to offer to the visitors and the best way to do that is to take this 1-day Seattle tour. I departed on this journey and every destination they drove us were special, just for an instance, Boeing Factory, Chihuly glass museum, and the tall Space Needle tower was really good. It was a good and enjoyable tour but also it can be more visitor-friendly and enjoyable.
Ping Mao
The tour guide was knowledgeable, informative and entertaining. He made sure to point out all of the restrooms and gave us an idea of when we would be able to use the next one. He also took family photos at several of the stops which came out very nice. Really glad I chose this tour company!

This tour is for anyone and I would highly highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the city no matter the age. I would like to return with more family members and would never hesitate given the breadth of knowledge and the authentic Seattle experience.

The tour itself was really great, i just had a couple of issues, first the bathroom on the bus was for emergencies only,so we had to wait for breaks, also i really wish if admissions were included in the tour price. But other than that, we really had a great time, we loved all places we saw and the tour was very well organized.
