Seattle Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

I took this tour with my husband. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle. Our tour guide was Dave and he was incredible! He gave such amazing explanations for everything. There was nothing I was left wondering walking out of that tour. Even when a local, walking past the tour, was rude he took it in strides and handled the situation extremely well.

Very informative and fun boat trip. The captain was personable and knowledgeable. We saw some beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Amazing! Space Needle was nice-great views. Chihuly Glass was soooo good. Be sure to see IMAX move before visiting. Gives a good view of how the pieces are made etc.

The tour was great. We learned so many fun facts about Seattle. Couldn't have asked for a better host as well. He was so funny, he made the experience so memorable.

The whole crew was awesome. Sunset cruise didn't disappoint. Weather cleared just in time for sunset. Thank you for the amazing experience. Highly recommend.

my clients were so pleased with the service, so excited and happy when they were picked up, because all the other people waiting had booked thru Ubers and others, and they had to wait for a very long time. They felt like queens, when the tour operators called out their names. They called me from Seattle to Texas. LOL

Super easy bus was waiting when we got off the ship and smooth ride to airport. Bus was clean and comfortable.

Very efficient courteous and cautious drivers. Only complaint is that we were not informed as to who would provide the return trip. Everyone was looking for the green Cool Destinations van

The sailboat was worth it no matter if its drizzling Seattle rain or not. It was lightly sprinkling to start and they gave us ponchos and blankets. The views of the city are so magnificent from the water. The crew was very nice, accommodating and knew what they were doing. I would recommend this boat for all that want to experience Seattle from the water!

Great experience. You have to show your Cool Destinations booking at the ticket office to claim a ticket to go up the space needle. The glass exhibition was amazing

This was a very enjoyable 1hour long trip around Elliott’s Bay. Really good guide with interesting facts all the way round on a nice, clear audio system. Boat was clean and comfortable with really friendly bar staff. Excellent value for money

Absolutely fantastic time really enjoyed worth the money

Bryan was amazing. I truly enjoyed every minute of my your. He was very knowledgeable and professional.

This was a fun, informative tour. We went all over the city, had tons of photo opportunities, a couple bathroom breaks, snd a chance to grab a beverage and/or snack.

This Exquisite Creatures exhibit at the Christopher Marley Studio (906 Western Avenue in Seattle) is incredible. It is fascinating to read abut Christopher Marley, an artist, photographer, naturalist, and author, and to learn more during a short film at the exhibit. He has displayed exquisite creatures (birds, insects, fish, sea creatures), all ethically obtained and preserved and arranged in an incredibly artistic way. It's wonderful.

Initially I didn't want to see this exhibit because I felt it would be disrespectful to nature. I am so glad that I changed my mind! After learning that the animals and insects were responsibly sourced, and what the artist's actual message is, I went to the exhibit. Christopher Marley delivers a message vibrantly that everyone should hear. I took it partially as " Nature is creative, and creativity is nature" and we, as humans, are part of nature. We are all connected. If you haven’t seen this exhibit, GO.
