This Seattle driving tour adventure fits all of the best attractions into five hours, just enough so you’ll feel you’ve gotten the Seattle experience! No visit to Seattle is complete without a Pike Place Market tour, during which we’ll have plenty of time to explore the historic marketplace’s maze of shops and stalls. Your tour guide will help you navigate the historic market and discover its best attractions, from the famous flying fish to the notorious Gum Wall. Our caffeine fiends will want to take some selfies at the oldest running Starbucks, and foodies will want to grab a bite to eat at local market favorites, with recommendations from your tour guide! The market has long had ties to the waterfront, which today features numerous souvenir shops, eateries, and spectacular views of the Puget Sound and distant Olympic Mountains. After a leisurely drive along the bay, we’ll head up to Queen Anne, where you’ll be treated to incredible views of the Space Needle and city skyline.

Community Impact:
-Our tours are designed with our communities first in mind, meaning that we will always encourage supporting local, owner-operated, and start-up businesses such as those in Pike Place Market
-We reduce overcrowding in over-touristed areas and lessen negative impacts on our local businesses by visiting lesser-known spots and shops in and around the Queen Anne neighborhood
-The opportunity to add in walking segments to our tours reduces our carbon footprint and impact on the environment
-We strive to represent all voices in our storytelling, for example highlighting the contributions of Asian immigrants to Washington’s economy and African American influence on Seattle’s music and culinary scenes
