Seattle City Tour — Picked Up From Your Hotel, Dropped Off at Your Door
Visiting Seattle and staying downtown? Skip the stress of navigating unfamiliar streets, finding parking, or figuring out where to meet a bus. This tour comes to you.
Tours Northwest will pick you up directly from your downtown Seattle hotel lobby and take you on a fully guided 3-hour city tour covering nearly 50 miles of Seattle’s most iconic landmarks, neighborhoods, and hidden gems — in a small, intimate group setting that lets your guide tailor the experience to you. When it’s done, we drop you right back at your hotel door.
No logistics. No crowds. Just Seattle.
Door-to-Door Service From Start to Finish
Your guide arrives at your hotel at your scheduled pickup time — no meeting points, no transit connections, no figuring out downtown Seattle on your own. Simply step outside, meet your guide, and let the city unfold around you.
Our friendly, licensed local guides have earned TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence for 14 years running and over 2,000 five-star reviews. They handle everything: the route, the stories, the stops, and the drop-off. All you need to bring is curiosity.
Please allow up to 5 minutes for your driver to arrive at your scheduled pickup time. Traffic and weather can affect return times — if you have a 3:00–7:00 p.m. drop-off, please allow extra time.
Heading to an Alaska Cruise? We’ll Drop You at the Terminal
This tour includes an optional Cruise Ship Drop-Off add-on, making it the ideal pre-cruise activity for Alaska-bound travelers departing from Seattle.
Here’s how it works: after the 3-hour city tour, instead of returning to your hotel, your guide will deliver you and your bags directly to the cruise terminal — arriving by 1:30 p.m., in time for most embarkation windows.
It’s the smartest way to spend your last morning in Seattle before setting sail: see the city, skip the shuttle, and board your cruise refreshed.
To add cruise ship drop-off: select the “Cruise Ship Drop-Off” add-on during the checkout process when booking.
Note: Cruise ship drop-off is available April 1 – October 31, aligned with Alaska cruise season.
