About this experience

Discover six distinct Seattle neighborhoods in just 90 minutes—with photo stops along the way! From iconic floating homes (Sleepless in Seattle style) to a hidden urban waterfall tucked right into the heart of the city, and even a quirky troll living under a bridge, this tour crams Seattle’s charm and character into a fast, fun, and unforgettable adventure. You’ll visit the stunning Kerry Park Viewpoint—arguably the best photo op in all of Seattle.

In less time than it takes to watch two episodes of The White Lotus, you’ll explore one of America’s most beautiful cities. Oh, and did I mention you’ll also see the exact spot where Boeing’s very first airplane took off—from the waters of Lake Union? All this, for an affordable price that won’t break the bank.
