Tours Northwest

8219 7th Avenue South · Seattle, WA

Why you should go…

Tours Northwest has run guided motorcoach tours from Seattle since 1994. The Premier Seattle City Tour covers about 50 miles and seven neighborhoods in three hours, and the 10- to 11-hour Mt. Rainier Tour climbs to Paradise for old-growth forest, waterfalls and, in summer, wildflower meadows, with walking options for every ability. Tours pick up at the Seattle Public Library, Urban Coffeehouse and MoPOP downtown and at SeaTac; pre-cruise tours combine the city tour with transfer to the cruise terminals.

Good to know

General tours guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Confirm the meeting point

    It is often a corner, a lobby, or a dock rather than the address you searched for. Check it the night before.

  • Small groups fill first

    In high season the intimate departures sell out well before the big-bus options do.

  • Ask how much is on foot

    Knowing how much of the route is walking, standing, or outdoors tells you what to wear and carry.

  • Read the weather policy

    Cancellation windows and rain rules vary by operator, and they are easier to find before you pay than after.
