I would highly recommend this tour. - I was only in Seattle for a day, this was one of the tours, I decided to take for the day. I loved the tour, the guide was very knowledgeable, which made the tour great. It was cold remembered you are on the water, so dress appropriately.

Great cruise and staff - This was a very good cruise. So much to see, and so little time. The crew were very friendly and the guide was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. Seeing the skyline from a different angle was interesting. Would have been great to see more of the Sound, but I guess that’s another tour
