SakeDad Posted March 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have been to Seattle a few times on business (shows at the Paramount) and love the city. But I am taking my mom and she has never been and I want to show her the BEST Seattle tour there is. Seattle will be as important to her as the Alaska cruise! We are staying at the Fairmont Olympic. I plan to take her to tea there when we get checked in then I want to take her on a tour of the city. Who has the best tour??? I really just need one that shows all the areas of town with a few stops. I plan to take her back to Pike Place Market afterwards and to dinner at my favorite place, Wild Ginger.

Costest Posted March 23, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2007 If you search Seattle city tours there are several companies with a varying degree and level of tours, all depending on your interests and length of time If I had visitors in town and had 3 to 6 hrs to do a car tour I would go: (My apologies to all the other great places I left off the list) Downtown to Fremont to Ballard -(Locks, Shilshole Bay) to Greenlake - (drive around the lake) to University District - (University Washington, Arboretum) to SR 520, Lake Washington Floating Bridge to Medina to Bellevue - (Bellevue Square shopping mall) to Mercer Island to I 90, Floating Bridge to West Seattle Bridge to (Hamilton Viewpoint, Harbor Avenue, Alki point, to Beach Drive) to Back to West Seattle Bridge to 1st Ave & Spokane St - to Safeco Field and Quest Field to Pioneer Square to International District to Snake through Downtown to Capitol Hill (Broadway Ave, Volunteer Park) to Downtown. This is not a weekday, afternoon tour - traffic here is a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D&DCanada Posted March 27, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2007 We absolutely LOVED the Underground Tour in Pioneer Square. A very informative guide will entertain you with Seattle's colorful history, and take you "beneath Seattle's sidewalks." Easy to get to if you are going to Pike Place Market. This is a very popular tour and they do not take reservations. I suggest you get there first thing in the morning and take the first tour you can buy tickets for. Well worth it!
