Description
Explore Seattle with a Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour and a 1-hour Harbour Cruise with this combination ticket. The City Sightseeing Seattle bus tour fittingly begins at the foot of Seattle’s most iconic building; the Space Needle. Hop on the bus here to begin your journey around this spectacular city!
Hop off along the harbour front to explore attractions like the Seattle Great Wheel, which, at 175 feet high, offers great views over Elliott Bay. The harbour front is also where you can get the Harbour Cruise. This fully narrated, 1-hour cruise takes you around Elliott Bay and offers fantastic views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountain Ranges, as well as Mount Rainier. You’ll also be treated to a great view of the Seattle skyline.
Hop back on the bus and pass through the Pioneer Square historic district, where you can also learn about Seattle’s oldest neighbourhood with the audio-guided walking tour. The highlights keep on coming thick and fast, and you’ll soon pass by Chinatown, where you can hop off for some authentic Asian cuisine.
Passing by the Seattle Central Library, the first Starbucks and the Paramount Theatre, you’ll arrive at Pike Place Market. This famous farmers market offers plenty of fresh produce and places to eat, as well as some more unusual antics; watch as fishmongers throw their daily catch through the air, only to be caught and processed behind the counter!
