Very fun trip with Chuck; he was very funny and was got to know everyone on the bus.
We learned what we should do and how to get back to the airport using the light rail which we did do instead of getting a car to bring us.
We also went on the ferry on Chuck suggestion and we had a good time waking in the downtown area and we ate on the island. -
A lot of fun! The 'Chuckster' is engaging and fun, while the tour is quick you get a good history of the city of Seattle and neat facts along the way. If you only have a short time to explore in Seattle or if you have a bit more time do this tour!

Chuckster was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! Fun, informative, energetic tour filled with lots of info. He made us feel welcome, just like family. Felt like we had known him for years
-
Our tour guide was informative and humorous. We got a good overview of the city and enjoyed some insider information. As a Frasier TV show fan, it was fun to see the building Frasier was supposed to have lived. The day we toured was cool and windy so I recommend checking the weather to determine if a jacket is needed.

This tour is just a quick overview of what you need to do in Seattle. A little background, locations of where stuff is and of course Charles the tour leader. He was very good at keeping things interesting and funny. Well done tour.
