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 four-hour private tour that reveals the many faces of the city. Seattle is a cosmopolitan hub where technology, nature, and the arts meet, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush forests, and the sparkling waters of Puget Sound. It’s a city that invites exploration, offering both breathtaking views and a vibrant cultural scene filled with theaters, galleries, museums, and world-class restaurants. Through it all, Seattle maintains its own creative, unconventional spirit. This tour includes many of the city’s iconic landmarks along with hidden gems that bring its unique character to life. At each location, we’ll make time for photos and local insights. I recommend taking this tour early in your stay to help you get oriented and make the most of your visit. The experience can also be arranged as a night tour for a completely different city atmosphere.
