Overview

See Seattle with a lifelong local guide, then enjoy a full hour to explore Pike Place Market at your own pace. This private four-hour experience combines city sights, area stories and time to browse, shop or eat.

Your guide adapts the route to your interests, pickup location and traffic. Highlights can include Kerry Park, the Ballard Locks, the Fremont Troll and a Space Needle photo stop, past Fishermen's Terminal, the Ballard Bridge, the Nordic Museum and the waterfront. Before your Market time, your guide shares recommendations and confirms where to meet again. Food and attraction tickets are not included.

The four hours include pickup, all driving, the Market hour and drop-off, so airport transfers may shorten other stops.

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.
