Overview

Make the most of your last hours in Seattle with a private shore excursion that ends at Sea-Tac Airport. A lifelong local guide picks you up at Pier 66 or Pier 91, your bags ride with you, and the tour ends at the airport or your hotel.

Walk the Ballard Locks, meet the Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge and see the skyline from Kerry Park. Stop at the Space Needle, then drive the waterfront, Pioneer Square and the Chinatown-International District, with a quick stop at Pike Place Market before your flight.

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.

The 3 hours 15 minutes includes pickup, driving and drop-off, so your guide fits the route around your ship, your flight and traffic.

What's Included

  • Bottled water Water in the vehicle for the whole tour.
  • Flexible private itinerary shaped around your group
  • All parking on the route is covered.
  • Food and Drink
  • Optional but appreciated
  • Space Needle, Chihuly Garden and Glass, MoPOP and museum interiors are exterior photo stops only.
