1.Seattle to Vancouver Urban and Scenic Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 268 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $189Our pick

Seattle to Vancouver day trip review with Stanley Park, Gastown, Granville Island, border tips, FlyOver Canada, costs, and honest drawbacks.

“This was a day trip that was not very well thought out. Firstly there were 13 guests, and we were all squeezed in to a 14 seat transit minibus. This would normally be ok but since we were going a long distance and crossing into Canada everyone had a bag or 2 each, but there was no space to store your bags, and the leg room was torturous due to no space and a 3 hour journey each way. Then as people bought souvenirs and shopping, the space on the minibus decreased rapidly through the day. For the stops, we had 1 hour for lunch in Granville island, which was…”

2.Snoqualmie Falls and Leavenworth Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 177 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $179

Review of Seattle’s Snoqualmie Falls and Leavenworth day trip, with practical advice on timing, guides, costs, scenery, and overall value.

“I enjoyed having the three hours in Leavenworth for lunch and a chance to walk around town. The best part was the visit to the Nutcracker Museum. A true hidden gem! I'm also glad I got to see the Falls but made a mistake in taking the trail to the bottom of the falls as there wasn't enough time to reach it and then make it back to our shuttle for the ride to Leavenworth. Just stay at the top!”

See Seattle in one packed day with Pike Place Market, Gas Works Park, Space Needle views, optional museums, and guided transport.

“Very disappointed! Never received a confirmation for the exact meetup location. Called the tour company because of needing clarity on the meetup location. After calling the tour company, I received the number to call the our tour guide, Michael, directly. Tried calling several times and he never answered. Michael arrived late and each tour stop cost money. The $95+ for the tour didn't include any entrance fees at all! So had to pay an additionally $74 to gain access to Sky Observatory, Museum of Flight, Chihuly Glass Exhibit, and Monorail ride: very expensive tour! At the end of the tour, I left my black wrap/shawl in the tour van, so…”

A private Seattle to Leavenworth day trip with Snoqualmie Falls, Cascade Mountain views, Deception Falls, and flexible hotel pickup.

“Amazing service received from Cheryl’s northwest tours from the moment of booking. Cheryl was really communicative and helpful when I needed to change pick up point. The night before the tour Cheryl checked in with us to confirm pick up location and time aswell. The morning of the tour we were picked up and given reusable water bottles and snacks for the day which was a really nice touch. Cheryl was super friendly and made us feel really comfortable. The day was brilliant, we made stops along the way to Leavenworth and the scenery was amazing. Had 2 hours at Leavenworth, I was worried when booking that this might not…”
