First Trip to Seattle
The Space Needle was a fun experience and we enjoyed a drink on the rotating floor. Chi Hulu Garden and Glass was okay and one of those “been there done that”. Over all we enjoyed ourselves but the Pikes Market Tour was without a doubt the best. It helped that we had perfect weather for a late October visit.

Excellent tour!
Excellent tour. The attractions we saw were amazing, the harbour and underground tours in particular were super entertaining and informative, and our guide kept up the momentum by sharing cool facts and stories about the city between each stop. I would recommend doing this tour first on your trip to Seattle to get up to speed on the city before exploring yourself.
