I am a Northwest Native who believes that every day should be a good day. One way to make that happen is to get outside and explore! I'm passionate about traveling, learning, sharing, telling stories, hiking, running, walking, skiing and enjoying all that the great Northwest has to offer. Since 2017 I've been guiding guests on traveling experiences and I look forward to sharing this passion with you. I have earned dozens of 5 star reviews from guests who enjoy my engaging and fun personality and appreciate my knack for storytelling, which I have developed working as a journalist and publicist. These reviews are on another travel platform. Message me if you'd like the link. Please let me show you the beautiful Pacific Northwest and all that it has to offer! And if you want your tour customized - or you want additional tour ideas - please reach out. I've lived here nearly my whole life and can suggest many other options to make your visit more than memorable.

Overview of your Seattle tour

Allow me to take you to my absolute favorite Seattle-area sites on a three-hour narrated driving tour. I've lived here nearly my whole life and am excited to show you THE BEST places to see around the Seattle area. We’ll start by being picked up directly from your downtown Seattle hotel, Cruise Ship terminal or SeaTac airport. We'll drive to the famous Ballard Locks, scenic Queen Anne Hill, stop for various view photos, base of the Space Needle, Amazon Spheres, historic Pioneer Square, and the Stadium District, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Mariners and Seattle Sounders. If time, we'll add on a stop at the Fremont Troll, cross one of the longest floating bridges IN THE WORLD, and potentially drive to West Seattle for more views. We'll drive by Waterfront Park and Seattle Aquarium before dropping you off back at your hotel, Cruise ship terminal, SeaTac airport or Pike Place Market.

Cynthia created a customized 3-hour private Seattle area tour for me which was fantastic. When booking, I shared a few parameters, she listened, and she delivered. Cynthia shares many local insights, is very friendly, and is a good story teller. The three hours flew by, and we covered a-lot of ground. I recommend her highly for a customized tour, especially if you have done many of the ‘first time visitor’ things in earlier visits to Seattle, and are looking to get a bit off the beaten path.

Cynthia worked very closely with me to customize exactly what my tour interests were. She was also very knowledgeable in locating additional spots I hadn't thought of, its history, and many interesting facts that only a native Seattle-born would know! She was always willing to take pictures, and comfort was always a priority while offering snacks, water, and bathroom breaks if needed. She even double checked upon ending the tour if I had all my belongings with me, so nothing would be left behind! All in all, my time spent with Cynthia was very enjoyable...I most certainly recommend Cynthia to anyone interested in learning and enjoying the city of Seattle...

Cynthia was absolutely wonderful! She really listened to all our specific needs and requests - to create a unique and fun off-the beaten path tour for us. She even stopped for an impromptu outdoor market and showed us some beautiful places in Seattle. We loved all the unique places including unusual shopping. She is filled with useful and fun knowledge of Seattle. You won’t go wrong booking a tour with Cynthia. Loved the way she ended the tour with her personal touch. Arigatou gozaimasu! Mike & Youkey

Cynthia was great, kept in touch on the run up to the tour. We saw the main highlights of Seattle for our short stay between cruise ship and flight later that day- picked up and dropped off door to door. Would highly recommend the tour and Cynthia’s knowledge of the area

Cynthia gave us a great feel not only for the city of Seattle but also for the surrounding areas, like West Seattle and Bellevue. As a life-long resident of Seattle, she is well-versed in the history and culture of the town and its residents. We had visited Seattle 35 years ago and were amazed at how the city had changed. Cynthia is an extremely friendly and personable guide that we highly recommend.
