    This was such an enjoyable tour! We were able to appreciate just how cool Seattle is outside of the traditional, busy attractions. Great breweries and great sampling of local food

    Simply a great tour. Will is very knowledgeable but nothing felt scripted. It was like we were spending time with a friend who knows a lot about Seattle. Would do it again in a heartbeat
