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.

Hit the Seattle Highlights - Pike Place Market, Ballard Locks, Chihuly Glass Museum in this Seattle walking and driving tour
Overview of your Seattle tour
Allow me to take you to my absolute favorite Seattle-area sites on a five-hour narrated driving and stopping 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, drive by the Amazon Spheres, through historic Pioneer Square, and the Stadium District. If time, we'll stop at the Fremont Troll, cross one of the longest floating bridges IN THE WORLD, and potentially drive to West Seattle for more views. Stop for shopping and lunch at Pike Place Market or tour Space Needle and Chihuly Garden & Glass Museum before dropping you off back at your hotel, Cruise ship terminal, SeaTac airport or Pike Place Market.

Sent photo of the place to meet, wonderful personalised tour, we had a great time, the information and history was pitched just right, We even managed to do one of her suggestions ourselves the next day. So nice to be able to gat off cruise ship, get met and tour all the city knowing the luggage was with us and safe all day, until we were dropped at the hotel.

Cynthia was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and accommodating. There happened to be a huge World Cup game in the city that day which required some revisions to our itinerary and lunch plans and Cynthia handled it smoothly. We same amazing things we never would have found on our own and still got to the things we had intended to see.
