Itinerary
Meet your group and guide on the morning of the first day of your trip. After an introductory meeting, you will start the day with a tour of Seattle. Start the day with a coffee tour and stop at the historic Pike Place Market along the way. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to stop and explore or get your guide’s recommendations for the best food the market has to offer, from rich clam chowder to fresh fruits and cheeses. Your guide will share tastings at the market from what we believe is a must-try! While at the market, you definitely want to check out two of its most fantastic attractions: the famous flying fish and (in)famous Gum Wall. Coffee fanatics rejoice: this is where we can gawk at the long line outside the original Starbucks! From here, the group will hop back in the vehicle to take a leisurely drive along Alaskan Way, home to the Seattle Ferris Wheel, Aquarium, and plenty of souvenir shops and restaurants where your group can enjoy anything from oysters to halibut. Passing the historic Pioneer Square area and its beautiful turn-of-the-century architecture, we drive to the Seattle Center to see the most recognized symbol of the city, the Space Needle. There is time to visit the observation deck and enjoy this optional activity. After our visit, we’ll be able to venture farther out to neighborhoods such as Ballard and Fremont, home to truly unusual art like our beloved Fremont Troll. Nearby, we can enjoy spectacular views of the city from the repurposed waterfront space known as Gas Works Park. Nature lovers will enjoy this recreational area as well as the Ballard Locks Fish Ladder & Visitor Museum, where you can watch the tugboats rise through a series of locks and – at certain times of the year – go underneath the locks to watch salmon fight the current to make their long journey back to their breeding grounds. We end our Seattle day with a dinner nearby our overnight stay.
