When in Seattle drink coffee! - Sam was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable about coffee and the history of Seattle and its coffee culture. Fun experience even for those who have been living in Seattle for years. Great for guests coming to visit the Seattle area. I will definitely be returning to revisit many of the places on the coffee crawl tour.

Highlight of our day - We had an amazing tour with Lee. He was so knowledge and took us to the best spots in Seattle. When we first booked this tour, I wasn't really sure if it would be worth it but it ended up being the highlight of our day. If you love coffee, this is the tour for you. Sure you could go to one of the thousand Starbuck's in Seattle but Lee will bring you to the fun local coffee shops that Seattle is known for. Even better, all of the shops sold coffee so you can take some home with you!!

Great way to discover what Seattle has to offer - Since this was our first time visiting Seattle, it was really nice having a personal guide to show us around and help us explore the city a bit. Sam made it an awesome experience from the start. He had a lot of knowledge about Seattle’s history, the best coffee shops in the area, and great food options to check out. The tour was incredibly enjoyable - particularly the coffee and food that we tried along the way - and helped us become acquainted with a new city. I would highly recommend anyone try this walking tour, and especially recommend a private tour if you’re interested in a more personal experience.
