As a military veteran, we honor veterans by allowing you to use the Seniors discount 62. Now this tour is like binge watching three episodes of your favorite program, minus the zombies & dragons. I do have a troll, a Space Needle, waterfall, giant Amazon spheres and Pixar UP House just like the movie floating houses (Sleepless in Seattle) We will even show you where Boeing 1st airplane took flight. If you have never seen Jurasick Park Pterodactyls come March - July to see them, I ain’t lying. This tour is both structured & spontaneous, guaranteed to learn and laugh.
Yes, you will see the famous sights, and unique neighborhoods as well.

5.00Had a great tour of Seattle lead by our tour guide Earl. Showed us a lot of hidden gems and places around the city that the average tourist would miss. Incredibly friendly, nice van and ride. Highly recommend!

5.00Loved the tour. Earl was a wonderful tour guide; very knowledgeable about the history of Seattle as well as current plans for the city. He was funny, charming, and very considerate about our needs during the tour. Earl showed us places & neighborhoods around Seattle that we would have never visited on our own . I highly recommend booking “Seattle Best City Tour” for a fun and informative tour.
Best Tour in Seattle!

5.00### 5-Star Must-Do: Earl's Seattle's Best Tours Turned Our Visit into an Epic Adventure! If you're planning a trip to Seattle and want to skip the cookie-cutter bus tours, book Seattle's Best Tours with Earl Alexander—trust me, it's the highlight of any Emerald City itinerary! We snagged spots on their signature city tour today, and from the moment Earl pulled up in his comfy SUV for our private tour, (right on time, picking us up from our downtown hotel), we knew we were in for something special. Earl is the heart and soul of this operation—charismatic, hilarious, and packed with insider knowledge that makes Seattle come alive. He's not just a guide; he's a storyteller who turns every stop into a laugh-out-loud history lesson. We zipped from the iconic Pike Place Market to the breathtaking views at Kerry Park, with detours to hidden gems like the Fremont Troll and a quick peek at the locks where boats "dance" with seals. His energy is infectious—he had our group of 3 chatting like old friends, cracking jokes and having fun. What sets Earl apart? It's his genuine passion and empathy—he tailored shoutouts to everyone's interests (I geeked out over the tech, sports and music history, while my partner loved the wildlife). No rushed timelines or scripted spiels here; it's flexible, fun, and feels like hanging with a local legend. By the end, we weren't just tourists—we were Seattle converts, armed with Earl's pro tips for the best coffee spots and sunset hikes. Hands down, the best money we spent on our trip. If Earl's guiding, you're guaranteed 5 stars of magic. Book now—you'll thank me (and Earl) later! Highly recommend for first-timers or anyone craving an authentic, unforgettable spin on the city. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fun, Knowledge and Good Memories!

5.00If you're interested in cultural and historical knowledge I recommend this tour. I had a great time with stops in between for taking pictures and learning a little bit more about the places I've been. More than visuals. Earl, was so amazing in the tour guidance and telling a little bit about the city transformation throughout the time. I have lots of memory and pictures to always remember my visit in the city.
Essential for first-time Seattle visitors!

5.00Earl was the BEST! Very knowledgeable and very passionate about the city. We had a smaller tour but that only added to the experience. Felt like we hit all the big stuff and even some of the smaller Easter eggs - can’t recommend this one enough for any first time Seattle visitor!
