Tour description
Seattle is the dynamic heart of the Pacific Northwest, a city of coffee, tech and grunge music set spectacularly between Puget Sound and the Cascade Mountains. On this walking tour a local guide leads you through its historic core, from the bustling public market to the underground remains of the original city.
You will explore the legendary Pike Place Market with its flying fish, hear about the Gold Rush and the great fire that reshaped the city, and discover the birthplace of a global coffee empire. Energetic, scenic and endlessly creative, Seattle is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
