Fun and interesting trip that takes you up to the observation tower and back down in a loop on quite new and powerful e-bikes. Renton was kind, friendly, and conscientious. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Incredible!

I can’t really rate the experience because we didn’t actually get to do it. When I read the directions, it said it was an 8 minute walk. We came in a a cruise ship, so I thought we were at the port. But it was actually an 8 minute walk from a different port. We had to take a 30 minute cab ride, then a ferry ride, then an 8 minute walk. Needless to say we did not make it.
Great experience
