Hi! So nice to meet you~ Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! I am a city guide, a mountain guide, an off-the-beaten-path guide. I have many years of experience working with International and Domestic travelers from all over the world. I have a love of Native and Local culture, art, and the natural world, and I blend all of these things into my tours, whether they are walking tours, tours in my SUV, or a combination of both. From the Seattle Grunge scene to the Dot. com explosion and now the era of electric cars and Amazon-everything, I have had the pleasure of showing this region to over 20, 000 guests on my tours over the years, changing my narrative as the landscape of this city has grown and expanded to be the world-class city it is today. I love bringing historic and local context into the sites that we visit, but I am also just as happy to bring my guests to their destination and help them create their own story of this fantastic place. I came here as a tourist myself over twenty years ago and I just never got back on the plane at the end of the vacation. Watching my guests come face to face with the many natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest, whether it is a tour to Mount Rainier, the Olympic Peninsula, or one of our many Islands, is a great joy to me Commercial Driver License Class C with Passenger endorsement Interstate self-certification Commercial Auto Insurance Generally speaking, I cannot accommodate more than one small bag per passenger for Port Pickups.

Liz was a phenomenal host and tour guide. We loved her relaxed style and appreciated her enthusiasm and knowledge. She helped us manage our time and see the things we wouldn’t normally experience in a group tour. She communicated with us constantly so we were clear on pickup instructions, she took photos for us as we experienced hidden gems around the city and she provided a comfortable and roomy vehicle. She adjusted the schedule/stops as she learned more about our interests. It was like having a local friend showing us around and then dropping us off at the airport. She was our chauffeur, tour guide, local historian, restaurant advisor, transfer service, personal photographer and new friend. We highly recommend Liz and Tours by Locals for anyone researching excursions and wanting a personalized experience.

Liz was amazing. We only had eight hours in Seattle and she was able to show us so much. Her passion for the City was evident and it made for an excellent day of touring.
