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.

Elizabeth F was a wonderful guide.. I cannot praise her enough. 5 stars is not sufficient. My wife and I saw and learnt so much about the city of Seattle. For a tour of Seattle she is the guide to choose.

Had a great day with Liz. Grew up in the Seattle area but moved away many years ago. In one afternoon Liz brought it all back and more! The transportation was comfortable an Liz was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Some of the sights we saw were: Seattle Waterfront, Amazon HQ, Seattle Center, China Town, Lake Union, and stories for all the Business start-ups between. I highly recommend Liz--You will cover a lot in one afternoon on this tour. And don't miss the Seattle Starbucks Coffee Reserve.

My husband and I just returned to Manhattan having visited Seattle for the first time. We travel extensively in the world and can do all the must see tourist sights ourselves (as was the case with Pike Place Market, Space Needle, Museum, Chihuly etc.). What we desired was a tour guide who could bring life and insight to the rhythm of the city with a knowledge of culture, architecture and history, food. Elizabeth was all that in one. Awesome lady who made our short visit so much fun. Thank you Elizabeth.
