Overview

As a military veteran, we honor veterans by allowing you to use the Seniors discount 62. Now this tour is like binge watching three episodes of your favorite program, minus the zombies & dragons. I do have a troll, a Space Needle, waterfall, giant Amazon spheres and Pixar UP House just like the movie floating houses (Sleepless in Seattle) We will even show you where Boeing 1st airplane took flight. If you have never seen Jurasick Park Pterodactyls come March - July to see them, I ain’t lying. This tour is both structured & spontaneous, guaranteed to learn and laugh.
Yes, you will see the famous sights, and unique neighborhoods as well.
Thank you Cool Shore Excursions for awarding Seattle's Best Tours as a TOP 20 Experience in the USA in 2022 - 2023
