Worth the money! A great way to see Seattle.

Easy to order tickets on line.

We liked being able to spend more time at a stop than on most tours. The buses run regularly. Some pick up points were a little hard to see but the drivers were very accommodating.

Experience Seattle in Hop On Hop Off Bus Tours

Home to remarkable architecture, sprawling parks, unparalleled cityscapes, and shopping options, Seattle is a major tourist hotspot. It is the largest city in Washington and has been inhabited for 4,000 years. The city is one of the fastest-growing metropolitans in the US and is rightly nicknamed the Emerald City.

The name Seattle is derived from the word ‘Sealth’ which was the language of the first settlers. The first ever gas station in the US was opened in Seattle in 1907.

When in Seattle, don’t forget to check out the world’s first revolving restaurant named Space Needle. It was built in 1961. Seattle has some of the world’s amazing glass studios which are worth checking.

June to September is the best time to plan a visit to Seattle and explore its neighbouroods. However, it is the peak tourist season so expect it to be crowded. Make sure to book your tickets in advance to avoid the last-minute rush.

City Bus Tours, Hop-On Hop-Off and amazing local tours

Seattle Double Decker

Seattle is the largest city in Northwest America, and has been immensely valuable to American history, in many different ways. Seattle has a diverse culture, and is home to many creative minds of the day. The Hop On and Off double-decker bus tour lets you enjoy a detailed tour of downtown Seattle, taking you through Seattle’s finest locations, aided with informative commentary and helping you relive Seattle’s interesting past.

Seattle is also known as the Emerald City because of the lush green forests that surround the city. Your Hop On and Off tour gives you the option to upgrade you tour from the basic sights to include the three amazing combos listed below which will take you to Seattle’s most iconic attractions, which are:

• Space Needle Combo: The Space Needle in the Seattle skyline distinguishes it from other cities. You can get the best views of the city from the observatory of the Space Needle, situated five hundred and twenty feet above the ground, from where you can check out Puget Sound, Mt Rainier, Olympic Mountain ranges and Cascade.
• Harbor Cruise Combo: You can add a picturesque Harbor cruise to your Seattle tour, as you can go on a narrated journey cruising across Elliot bay and the Seattle Harbor, taking in the breathtaking Seattle skyline and mountain ranges.
• Locks Cruise Combo: Even for people who are not that interested in ships, the Locks Cruise tour is fascinating enough, as it explains the complicated workings of how the Seattle Locks system works, along with how it carries out its original purpose of existence, which is to transport coal and timber from Lake Washington from its eastern shores.

Some of the other highlights on the tour include the following locations:

• Seattle Center: The Seattle center is a prime center for arts, entertainment and recreation in the city. It is the place that hosts Experience Music Project and the Science fiction museum along with historical landmarks such as the Kobe Bell.
• Pioneer Square: Home of the firefighter’s memorial, this square is in the southwest corner of Downtown Seattle, which was once known as the heart of the city. The earliest structures of the Pioneer Square were all wooden, which burnt down in the Great Seattle fire in 1889, which have now been replaced by stone buildings, constructed in the style of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture of the late 19 th century.
