Overview

  • Explore Seattle on a private five-hour tour with a lifelong local guide. Combine city highlights with an hour of independent Pike Place Market time and a 30-minute Kubota Garden visit, or choose a planned Space Needle and/or Chihuly Garden and Glass visit instead. Your guide also takes you to the Ballard Locks, the Fremont Troll and Kerry Park, past Fishermen's Terminal, the Ballard Bridge, the Nordic Museum and the waterfront.

    Paid attraction tickets are not included. Coordinate entry times with us before buying tickets; paid attractions are offered only when reservations and timing fit.

    The five hours include pickup, every drive, sightseeing and drop-off. Airport drop-off may shorten sightseeing, and the Market/garden and paid-attraction routes are alternatives.

    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.

Activity itinerary

Pier 91 (Pass by)

Pickup at Pier 91 / Smith Cove Cruise Terminal when this is your confirmed starting point. Pier 66, hotel and airport pickups are alternatives, not additional compulsory stops. Boarding and all transfers are included within the five-hour tour.

Pier 66 (Pass by)

Alternative cruise pickup at Pier 66 / Bell Street Cruise Terminal when this is your confirmed starting point. This replaces Pier 91 or hotel pickup; guests are not promised visits to both terminals. Boarding, all transfers and your confirmed drop-off are included within five hours.

Fishermen's Terminal (Pass by)

Pass Fishermen's Terminal on Salmon Bay, home port for much of the North Pacific fishing fleet.

Ballard Bridge (Pass by)

Cross the Ballard Bridge over Salmon Bay into Ballard.

National Nordic Museum (Pass by)

Pass the National Nordic Museum and Frankie Feetsplinter, the giant recycled-wood troll by Danish artist Thomas Dambo out front.

Ballard (Pass by)

Travel through Ballard as your guide introduces its maritime heritage. This is a narrated driving segment on the route to the Locks, not a separate walking stop.

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks

  • 25m
Explore the public grounds of the Ballard Locks with your guide. See the waterways and gardens; boat movements and salmon viewing vary and are not guaranteed. This city-highlights stop may be shortened or omitted when you choose the separately ticketed Seattle Centre alternative.

Fremont (Pass by)

Drive through Fremont with stories from your guide.

Aurora Bridge (Pass by)

Pass under the Aurora Bridge, high above the ship canal.

Fremont Troll

  • 10m
Visit one of Seattle's quirkiest public artworks and stop for photos beneath the Aurora Bridge.

Queen Anne Hill (Pass by)

Travel through Queen Anne on the way to Kerry Park, hearing area stories from your guide. This is a narrated driving segment, not an additional walking stop.

Kerry Park

  • 15m
Take in the classic view of city centre Seattle, Elliott Bay, and Mount Rainier when weather permits.

Space Needle

  • 10m
On the Market and garden route, stop outside for Space Needle photos; the listed 10 minutes does not include going to the top. Alternatively, arrange an independent Space Needle and/or Chihuly visit in a shared Seattle Centre attraction window, replacing Market, Kubota and some city stops. Tickets are purchased separately after coordinating entry times with Cascade Excursions. Both attractions are offered only when entry times, queues and transfers fit within five hours.

Seattle Center (Pass by)

See Seattle Centre during the shared exterior/photo and bathroom visit near the Space Needle and MoPOP. No additional separate stop time is promised here. For a prearranged paid-attraction alternative, this area hosts the independent visit window that replaces Market and Kubota time. Admission tickets are not included.

Seattle Center Monorail (Pass by)

See the monorail that runs between Seattle Centre and city centre, built for the 1962 World's Fair.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
Optional paid-attraction alternative only: allow approximately one hour to explore Chihuly Garden and Glass independently, with recommendations from your guide. Admission is not included; coordinate entry times with Cascade Excursions before buying tickets. This visit replaces Market, Kubota and some city sightseeing. If combined with the Space Needle, both visits share the planned Seattle Centre window and must fit with all transfers within five hours. This is not an additional stop on the Market and garden route.

Museum of Pop Culture

  • 5m
See MoPOP from outside and take a brief bathroom break if facilities are accessible. This shares the Seattle Centre visit; museum admission is not included. Your guide adjusts the stop to current access and the five-hour itinerary.

Amazon Spheres (Pass by)

Pass the Amazon Spheres and city centre campus while hearing about Seattle's technology industry. Exterior viewing only; interior admission is not included.

Columbia Center (Pass by)

Drive city centre past the Columbia Centre and, when the route allows, the Seattle Central Library.

Pike Place Market

  • 1h
On the Market and Kubota Garden route, enjoy one hour to explore Pike Place Market independently. Want longer? Ask for about an hour and a half here. We’ll still stop at Kubota Garden and adjust the rest of the route to fit. Your guide shares recommendations and confirms where and when to meet. Food and purchases are not included. The separately ticketed Seattle Centre alternative replaces this Market and garden time; it is not an additional visit. Pickup, all driving and drop-off remain within five hours.

Seattle Waterfront (Pass by)

Drive the waterfront past the Great Wheel on Pier 57, Miners Landing, near where the 1897 Klondike gold ship docked, and the rebuilt seawall.

Port of Seattle (Pass by)

See working waterfront and port infrastructure from the vehicle when your route allows. Your guide discusses Seattle's maritime and cruise connections. This is a pass-by, not a separate port visit.

Pioneer Square (Pass by)

Drive through Pioneer Square, rebuilt in brick and stone after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, past the Smith Tower.

Chinatown International District (Pass by)

Pass the Historic Chinatown Gate and Hing Hay Park as your guide shares the history of Seattle's Asian American communities.

Panama Hotel and Tea House

  • 5m
When time allows, a short stop at the historic Panama Hotel, where Japanese American families stored belongings during WWII incarceration.

  • 30m
On the Market and garden route, spend 30 minutes exploring Kubota Garden independently, with recommendations from your guide. Enjoy the paths and garden scenery at your own pace; the walk can be shortened to suit your group. Admission is free. The separately ticketed Seattle Centre alternative replaces both this garden visit and the Market time. All driving and drop-off remain within the five-hour tour.

West Seattle Bridge (Pass by)

Cross to West Seattle past the port cranes on Harbour Island.

West Seattle

  • 10m
Optional, when time allows: stop at Seacrest Park, where the West Seattle Water Taxi lands, for a view back at the city centre skyline across Elliott Bay.
