Good time - We had a good time. Convenient stops. Sometimes they forgot to turn the the audio on during the ride. Multiple drivers. Need to provide a stool to help getting on the bus.

Good for quick highlights - It was good. The tour by Tours Northwest was much more informative. That said, this was good if you just want a quick high level overview of the city and the main tourist attractions. The bus that is open on top was pretty old and run down.

Worthwhile for a first visit to Seattle - Run of the mill tour, shows the key places. Automated voice overs, limited by stopping at 16.00 doesn't really give time to make use of all the stops. Worthwhile for a first visit to Seattle

To expensive for what you get - I am a big Fan of hoho tours and whenever I am visiting a city that offers the tour, I am taking it. Seattle has the most expensive tour I think I have ever taken. And it takes you just around the center. You can actually walk it if you bring some time. I still had to walk alot, since e.g. the Jimmy Hendrix Statue is not included. The explanations are only in English over the general PA system of the bus. Sometime it was difficult to understand. It's the first hoho tour I did where you could not chose a language over headphones. I thought that was a standard. The drivers don't want to see your ticket at no point. I had a couple next to me talking about making the tour without ticket. That is not cool. Unfortunately I felt like the tour is a waste of money. Better to explore Seattle by foot and use the money for the entrance to some also very expensive tourist attractions.

Poor communication/bus service - The bus I was riding on required us to get off at one stop with no warning. We had to wait over 30 minutes for another bus. The bus that we then got on had brake issues and we had to wait for another bus. We ended up walking back to our hotel. Sites were nice but transportation experience was sub par.

Overpriced bus ride - Seattle was one of our stops on a long road trip across the country. Only had a day to spend in Seattle. I got the tickets on Groupon and saved 40.00 for 2 of us. So happy I did that because it definitely isn’t worth full price. This is basically an over priced bus ride. Not a lot of history about Seattle, but it is a hop on off bus. Then to top it off they say a bus comes around every 30 minutes or so but it’s more like 45 minutes to an hour. If you basically just want to go along to the different places along the water and don’t want to walk there is a FREE trolley. Wish we would have known that before hand.

It sucks. - At the port they sell you the ride saying that a bus passes every 30 minutes, nn and true nothing and when you try to ask for info to the reception staff of the stop, on the times schedules etc. tell you to talk to the driver, the foreign driver who does not understand a bat of Italian sends you back from 'other and vice versa, but the money from the Italians take them.rspetienzs bad to nn talk about the dirt on the earbud buses that do not work, and much precariousness on the maintenance of the same taking into account that they always travel s full load (of people)
