Amazing combo tour! - We had a full day to spend in Seattle after disembarking our cruise and catching our flight home. We selected the 3-hour tour and hop on/off combo and were really happy with the experience. The hop on/off is about an 80 minute loop that stops just about anywhere you'd want to visit. We grabbed coffee at Pike Place then caught the bus there. (Stat focused and be prepared to duck to avoid tree branches if you sit up top!)
We then took the 2:00 tour and it was better than we'd expected! Our guide was knowledgeable and some of the stops were unexpected and really fun. So much to see beyond what the hop on/off bus visits.

Seattle, A Wonderful Destination - Seattle is a wonderful destination. We made the best of it in the three days we spent in there. We played in the snow at Mt. Rainier. We visited the Aquarium (it’s small and doesn’t compare to the Monterey Bay Aquarium) so if that’s what you’re expecting, it’ll be disappointing. We went to a Mariner’s Baseball game. It was very exciting, they won in a 9th inning grand slam walk off. Visited Kerry Park, the Space Needle, Chihuly Garden & Glass, Fremont Troll, rode the Seattle Center Monorail, visited Pike’s Place and the yucky gum wall.

Not Gilligan’s three-hour tour! - Oh no, a three-hour bus tour with a bunch of blah blah blah about Seattle? NOPE — this one is a gem if you have limited time and want a genuine feel for niceties of the emerald city.
We were on a small bus — a dozen of us and an excellent tour guide. Apparently she was permitted to do her own research and deliver it in her own style rather than reading from a script. She endeared her love of Seattle to us.
There were several opportunities to see different aspects of the city and get off the bus to take photos and get a feel for the area around you. We happened to do the tour when the roses were in full bloom at woodland park, and oh my it was fantastic. The lock visit was also great.
I certainly did not regret this three hour tour.

Seattle 3hr Tour- awesome! - Incredible tour, would highly rate Olivia, she is so knowledgeable and was amazing. Weather wasn’t great, so we were the only ones booked, so ended up being a private tour! Would most definitely recommend this tour, to see all the sights.

Too expensive - Starting at 10am, stopping at 4pm!! To littke time, even when your ticket is 24 hr valid!
Too much money for a short ride taking heavy city traffic into account

Worst tour ever - This was the worst tour I have ever been on. Buses were filthy, loud and very old. One was so loud you couldn’t hear the narrative.
An update to technology is needed. You should be able to know how long until the next bus is coming.

Be prepared to wait for long periods - Felt ripped off on the hop on hop off experience. Waited over an hour to get picked up again after hopping off at the market stop. Spoilt my only day in Seattle
