Our trip to Seattle was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Alki Beach was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Seattle is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Museum of Flight. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.
