Overview of your Seattle tour

When I arrived in Seattle in 1994/95 I made it my personal goal to truly understand every inch of the city to understand my neighborhood and the areas around it. When my family opened up a travel agency and I became a professional guide around the world I decided to learn my city in a way that would allow me to share it with my customers as if they live there themselves. I made a personal goal of mine to truly dissect the city and learn it's history and culture in a way that was interesting and informative This tour has it all with pick up from your ship and return to your hotel or the airport. I have a great personality and will show you the city in a way only a professional local guide can.

Rem made a seamless pickup at the very over trafficked Pier 66, four of us with lots of luggage. Once we got going Rem is so friendly and conversational telling us stories of the early days and Pioneer Square then China town. Thoughtfully pointing out interesting architectural details. We saw the various tech buildings and views overlooking the city and harbor. Fantastic! Rem kindly booked lunch for us at Dukes Seafood. Outstanding! My wife, her mom and aunt and I all thought the tour was top quality. Highly recommend Rem and Tours by Locals. Do it! You won’t regret it. Likely be a high point of your vacation!

Rem was amazing and accommodating. We wanted more of a personal tour of Seattle and he even scheduled a lunch at a locals place on the bay. Showed us local atmosphere and highlights outside the normal “touristy stuff” and educated us on the downtown life and even outside the city. I’m a travel advisor and I am so happy I met up with REM. I highly recommend this local Seattle guide. Melissa.Buckalew@fora.travel. Travel Your Way for health and life.

Rem provided an exceptional tour that exceeded our expectations. Despite visiting Seattle multiple times, his deep knowledge of the city's history and culture brought fresh perspectives and introduced us to places we'd never discovered. His engaging personality made the day enjoyable. You can tell he's passionate about Seattle and understands every neighborhood intimately. From Pioneer Square's 1889 fire history to the Fremont Troll and Queen Anne's stunning homes, every stop was well-planned and informative. He strongly recommended we visit Chihuly Garden & Glass museum as part of the custom tour—he was spot on. It was an excellent highlight. Rem's pacing was perfect, allowing time for photos while keeping things moving smoothly. If you want to experience Seattle like a local Rem is your guide. We learned more in one day with Rem than in all our previous visits combined.

We had a wonderful time on our Tours by Locals and it was great that we got to personalize it to what we wanted to see. Rem was great and very knowledgeable. It sure beat renting a car and not knowing where to go. We definitely would use Tours by Locals again.

REM was knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his town! Enjoyed spending the day with him. Would do so again!
