Discover hidden gems and world-famous landmarks, avoid all of the tourist traps and learn the best ways to move and shake your way through the city (head’s up, there are a lot of options for public transport here).
Get a snapshot of Washington’s largest city and spot the Space Needle from a mile away. You can ask any of the 101 questions we know you have about the city, and get the low-down on the best places to eat, drink, explore and hang out - your host can’t wait to share their recommendations with you.
And of course, where to get a decent cup of coffee around here. You’ll feel like a local in no time!

Vladimir was amazing! He was informative and has a very kind nature about him. Note: There is no way this is a walking tour, so we went by car. This means he relies heavily on tips for this to be worth his while... And trust me, you'll love it! Thank you so much for showing me the beautiful city of Seattle! Respond to review
