Highly recommended tour. Alex our tour guide was so good in his local knowledge and that thing inspired me to ask him about his this amazing knowledge, he replied that he was born and raised in this place. Well accommodating personality of her really made her very different from other natives as we experienced meeting local people. Destinations were really cool like Pioneer Square and I enjoyed my clicks over there. I have shared all pictures of amazing destinations with my friends who are also planning for this bus tour after getting my positive remarks about that. I have already recommended it to my friends and highly recommending this tour to all other visitors in the world. Thanks a lot!
Mrs: Gujral
I enjoyed my trip with my son who was so excited about amazing destinations like Christine Falls, Niagara Falls While reaching airport I was happy with bus driver William who was already there waiting for his visitors arrival. I found him a courteous man. Proper timing was giving to all destinations and we never felt rushed. We were there to thoroughly enjoy tour and that exactly what we did. Highly recommending it to families who can best time as me and my son had thanks a lot!
Amanda
Excellent tour. The itinerary was planned so well but suddenly some stops were ruined out but our tour guide had already told us that the travel plan can be changed due to any circumstance and he had a backup plan. This actually happened in tour that rain changed the original itinerary but back up place was really manageable. Love you Richard for you amazing services. I loved amazing destinations like Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum and Music Project Museum a lot. Great time, lovely memories!

I was so happy that I did not wait for long at Chinatown because the bus was there on time. It was a sign of good beginning do agree with the fact that proper timing of everything ensures real happiness. Although the bus was air conditioned but there some issues with it and were not comfortable without air condition in the first ride while reaching our hotel. Next day it was all sorted out and we enjoyed then after. One suggestion to make all things checked before picking up visitors can be really the best way to avoid such disturbance. Alex you fun loving behavior was really appreciable. Destinations were cool and enjoyed glaciers and volcanoes sights. Thanks!
