What You Will Do
Come join us on a historic tour through Pioneer Square and pair it with one of the best things to do in Seattle: see the city from 35 floors up!
Your Seattle tour starts with a walk through the historic neighborhood, where you’ll easily be able to imagine the city’s early pioneer days with the help of your local tour guide. Top Seattle attractions we’ll pass by include Klondike National Historical Park, Waterfall Garden Park, and the Seattle waterfront.
As you take in the neighborhood’s charm and architecture, your Seattle guide will narrate the fascinating history of the area, from indigenous settlement to Pacific Northwest pioneer town. Learn the surprising background of the city’s founding, immigrant influence, and the vice that gave this neighborhood a certain reputation.
We’ll then take our tour above the streets to enjoy incredible 360-degree views of Seattle, the Sound, and the distant mountains from Smith Tower, a stunning building with a fascinating history of its own!
