Our tour guide, Michael, was very attentive, providing detailed explanations throughout the trip, along with bottled water and snacks. He also slowed down when the road was bumpy. The itinerary was well-planned and executed. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful experience hiking to Snoqualmie Falls! The hike was pleasantly easy and not too strenuous, thanks to the well-established paved path. The distance is manageable and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Along the way, you get to enjoy beautiful views of waterfalls, rivers, creeks, and the lush rainforest. A big thank you to my guide, Johnny, who was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He made the hike even more enjoyable by sharing interesting facts about nature and making sure we captured some great photos. He was truly considerate and kind, making the entire experience pleasant. I highly recommend this hike for anyone visiting Seattle. It’s a perfect way to immerse yourself in nature without too much difficulty.

Our tour guide, Mike, thoughtfully provided water and informed us about restroom breaks and the upcoming itinerary. He also gave a very detailed introduction to the local culture and the history of the national park!

Trip was well organized and covered as per itinerary. The guide took us through a couple of more stops since we covered things on time, ensured everyone felt included and he even clicked some photos for us. Would recommend this trip to cover if you are short on time and would like to explore the place in a day.

Easy redemption of Klook voucher at the ticketing desk. Fantastic views all round of Seattle, including the distant mountain ranges on a clear day. Best part it that crowd is light. Has a bar counter and some seats. Can’t recommend more!

Booking Convenience with Klook: The tickets are well worth it, no ticket exchange is needed at all, just scan the QR code to enter. Experience: Although it is no longer the tallest building, the Space Needle still offers a panoramic view of the Seattle cityscape and seascape. The Chihuly Garden and Glass is one of the most worthwhile museums to visit; the artworks inside are always breathtaking and demonstrate incredible craftsmanship. The two attractions are within a 5-minute walk of each other, and there are many restaurants and cafes nearby, making it easy to visit both and spend a leisurely afternoon.

Great value and easy to use, recommended for travelers visiting downtown Seattle. Includes tickets to the Space Needle and the Seattle Aquarium, which is slightly inconvenient for those who don't want to go to the aquarium.
