Overview

See Seattle with a local guide, then enjoy a full hour to explore Pike Place Market at your own pace. This private four-hour experience combines city sights, area stories and time to browse, shop or choose somewhere to eat.

Your guide adapts the sightseeing route to your interests, pickup location and traffic. Highlights can include Kerry Park, the Ballard Locks, Fremont Troll, historic areas and a Space Needle photo stop. Before your independent Market time, your guide shares recommendations and confirms where to meet again. Food and attraction tickets are not included. No additional admission fees are required for the planned itinerary.

The four-hour duration includes pickup, all driving, the Market hour and your selected drop-off. Airport transfers fit inside that time, so other stops may be shortened or omitted. Enjoy your own group, private transport and a Seattle day shaped around you.
