    It was a great way to get to know the city. My only concern is the bus schedule was off by 45 minutes. I understand traffic can account for it, but you should let the passengers know that those are recommended time but there might be a wait for the bus. Besides that, it was great.

    Loved the audible tour sharing insights to the buildings as we passed them. As a first time visitor this bus gave us a great overview of the city and allowed us flexibility in sites we wanted to visit before continuing our tour.

    The bus tour itself was great but having done tours before in London and France this was hard to use. Hard to find the locations of the stops from the website on the map and until you find the first location and get a brochure your kind of on your own.

    We were waiting at Pier 66 for our pick up (in the rain) and driver drove straight past me even though I was almost on road and waving. We then had to wait another half hour (in the rain) before Stacy picked us up. Stacy drove very sensibly and I noticed she stopped at every stop regardless of psgrs waiting. Well done to Stacy as she was also very apologetic for previous driver.

    The Harbour Cruise was a pleasant outing during our Seattle visit. We timed our tickets with the weather forecast to take advantage of sunnier afternoon conditions. The views of the city from the water were amazing, and the information from the guide was interesting and helpful. The cruise took about an hour, which was just right for us. Be aware of the no outside food or drink rules, so you won't be caught having to eat your lunch hastily before being able to check in. There are drinks and snacks on board for purchase. The Hop on Hop off tour bus drops you right near the dock, and you can hop back on after the cruise if you don't go too late in the day.

    It was easily accessible and convenient. The drivers were kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The cruise was very enjoyable and we enjoyed getting a different vantage point of the city. The guide on the cruise was informative. I would recommend the bus+ cruise to others.

    • Seattle’s coffee culture is huge! Skip the chain coffee shops and try local brews – don’t forget the original Starbucks at Pike Place Market!
