About this tour

See Seattle’s neighborhoods, waterfront, and mountain scenery on a guided sightseeing ride that begins near the Space Needle. Your local English-speaking guide shares the character and architectural variety of districts such as Queen Anne as you travel aboard a spacious, climate-controlled bus.

Step off at Ballard Locks to admire the gardens, watch boats pass through the locks, and see the fish ladder. At Kerry Park, take in sweeping views of the city, Puget Sound, and the surrounding mountains. Then enjoy a relaxing walk across the grass at Gas Works Park, set beside Lake Union. The tour returns to its starting point near the Space Needle.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Seattle
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
