Seattle City Tour Private and Flexible
Overview
See Seattle on a private, fully narrated city tour with a lifelong local guide. It's just your group, in a private minivan or our white Ford shuttle, with pickup at your hotel, Airbnb, cruise terminal or Sea-Tac Airport.
Walk the Ballard Locks, meet the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge and take in the skyline from Kerry Park. Along the way you'll pass Fishermen's Terminal, the Ballard Bridge and the National Nordic Museum, stop for photos at the Space Needle, and drive through downtown, Pioneer Square and the Chinatown-International District. Finish near Pike Place Market or get dropped off at your hotel, the airport or a cruise terminal.
How pricing works: this is a private tour priced for your whole group, up to 13 guests. The total is the same for 1 to 4 guests, and each guest after that adds less, so the price per person drops as your group grows. Cool Shore Excursions shows a price per person; choose your group size to see your total.
