Explore Seattle & the Pacific Northwest with a Passionate Local Guide Hello and welcome! I’m Carsten, a Seattle-based private guide offering exclusive, customizable tours of Seattle, the Olympic Peninsula, and the Cascade Mountains. My guiding philosophy is simple: Ethical. Authentic. Adventurous. I first came to the Pacific Northwest in 1993 and instantly fell in love with its wild beauty and diverse culture. After a rewarding career as an Airline Captain, I traded the cockpit for the great outdoors, guiding travelers through the places I love most. From vibrant city neighborhoods to hidden mountain trails and quiet coastal inlets, I enjoy revealing the stories, history, and natural wonders that make this region truly unique. With extensive local knowledge and years of experience leading tours in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, I focus on small-group, personalized experiences where travelers can relax, learn, and have fun at their own pace. I believe that smaller groups connect more deeply, with the destination and with each other. As a licensed and insured Guide, and Expedition Leader, Wilderness First Responder your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are always my top priorities. I’m also a photographer and lifelong adventurer, so I’ll make sure you discover the best views and leave with incredible photos and memories. My goal is simple: to create a day so enjoyable that by the end, we feel more like friends than guide and guest. All tours are fully customizable, whether you’re looking for an active outdoor adventure, a scenic drive, or an in-depth cultural experience, I’ll tailor the itinerary to match your interests and pace. Qualifications: Outdoor Guide | Bear Guard | Wilderness First Responder | Wilderness Safety Leader | Expedition Guide | Arctic Guide | Licensed Chauffeur | commercial vehicle insurance Let’s plan your unforgettable Pacific Northwest experience together!

Experience the quintessential Seattle adventure on this two-hour, intimate walking tour designed to reveal the city’s many faces. The best way to truly feel Seattle’s rhythm is to explore it on foot, through its lively streets, hidden alleys, and vibrant neighborhoods where innovation, creativity, and nature seamlessly intertwine. Seattle is a city of contrasts and connections: a cosmopolitan hub where world-changing technology meets a deep love of the outdoors; where street art and music thrive beside historic architecture; and where stunning views of snow-capped mountains and shimmering Puget Sound frame every corner. Along the way, we’ll uncover local stories, scenic viewpoints, and authentic glimpses into everyday life in the Emerald City. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, this experience offers a fresh and personal perspective on what makes Seattle truly one of a kind.
Starting downtown, we’ll stroll to the iconic Pike Place Market, where local vendors, fresh produce, and lively street performers capture the essence of Seattle. Before leaving, we’ll stop by the world’s first Starbucks, a must-see for coffee lovers. From there, we pass the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) on our way to Pioneer Square, the city’s historic heart filled with art galleries, unique shops, and trendy restaurants housed in beautifully restored buildings. Our walk continues to the Waterfront, where historic piers, the Seattle Aquarium, classic seafood eateries, and ferry terminals offer stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. This relaxed two-hour walking tour captures Seattle’s culture, history, and everyday life, all within a few scenic miles.
