What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Seattle hosts to venture from the Chinatown-International District to Pike Place Market, exploring the secret spots, hidden gems, and historic landmarks in between (after all, Pioneer Square is hard to miss).

You’ll get to visit the Panama Hotel Tea and Coffee House for a coffee or freshly made lemonade. Take in the eclectic venue, plastered with old newspapers that expose the history and culture of the neighborhood.

You could visit the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience or the Pinball Museum and explore the Uwajimaya Japanese supermarket - we challenge you not to buy some quirky snacks here!

You’ll learn about the heritage of the city in Pioneer Square (not your average history lesson, we promise), stop for a quick coffee break at Zeitgeist before you reach Pike Place Market - the holy grail of your journey!

Slightly dramatic, but the 225 artisanal food stalls you’re about to feast at (as you dodge those flying salmon) are nothing short of incredible. Pacific Northwest clam chowder, anyone?

Reviews

    I was lucky enough to have Sheila as a tour guide. She contacted me ahead of time to personalize the tour and also checked in with me before we started (day of) to see what I was still interested in visiting. We hit the spots I most wanted to see - Pioneer square, the International areas, the Public Market, the first Starbucks - and she also highlighted so many other things along the way. Sheila gave me great backstories about Seattle and it's many attractions. She also did her homework to accommodate my food sensitivities, which was very much appreciated. This tour was very much worth it's while, especially because of my great guide.

    Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

    Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.
