Once we got started the tour was very informative. Adam made it very fun. However, there was some mixup in the pickup. Also, we went to the Chocolate store ? and it was closed due to a company event. I think the company should have alerted the tour company and guide of that closure. No worries, Adam was still very good!

This was a pre-cruise tour that picked you up at your hotel with your luggage, toured you through Seattle and left you off at your ship with your luggage. A wonderful way to see Seattle prior to a cruise. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny and a good guy to spend a few hours with. We know more about Seattle because of him and a good time learning. We highly recommend this tour if your are going to take a cruise.

Horrible! A waste of money. For example, we didn't stop at Pike Place which would have been preferred over stopping to see the lake and tour the neighborhood homes. We were also told that we would get to see the needle. Nada! This was a complete waste of money. Either be honest with your customer or change the tour to meet what is promised! Gail S.

They say rate 1 to 10 on anything. Our tour was an 11. Best money spent in Seattle. I learned so much about Seattle and got to see it too. The Lock was my favorite. The getting on was very confusing and we had been picked up at the hotel and taken to another location and no one knew what to do with us. We were not on any list. Upsetting to me as I had paid on line before arriving. They keep calling and finally we got on a bus for a tour............That was a very bad experience.........But then the tour started and it turned out good..

We really enjoyed the pre-cruise tour. It covered so much of Seattle and the surrounding areas - it was so complete. It gave us a good idea of what the area is like. The tour guide was so knowledgable. We loved the tour.
