Review of Carmel’s private SEA airport transfer to Seattle, Bellevue, or Kirkland, with honest advice on price, pickup, luggage, and reliability.

“Driver was rude. He seemed angry. Dispatch said he was to text us. Never received a text. While putting bags in van, my daughter's hair got caught to one of the bags. No apologies given. During the drive, he talked to himself, ignoring us. At drop off, bags taken out of van with no recognition to us.”

Review of Seattle's private SEA airport transfer, with vehicle choices, pricing, timing advice, luggage limits, and service cautions.

“I booked this transfer approx 2 months prior to needing it. I received confirmation from the local vendor who would be providing the service as well. The confirmation was correct with the date and time of service and stated the driver would be there 15minutes before the pickup time. I was out waiting for the driver at the 15 min prior time and once it was 10minutes after the scheduled pickup I called them. The dispatcher sounded confused, put me on hold multiple times and asked me where I was. I provided the information to her and said the driver was 10 min late. She was typing away on her…”

Review of a private Mt. Rainier SUV tour from Seattle, with Paradise, flexible walks, park fees, snacks, and airport or cruise pickup.

“Our private Mt. Rainier tour gave us a rest from driving ourselves and also flexibility to stop when we wanted to along the way. Although it was a hot and hazy day, our tour guide, Llyle, made the day special. She shared lots of good stories about the park, Seattle and the state of Washington. She stopped a few times on the way to the park so we could take pictures of interesting roadside sights. We went two places for short hikes, and Llyle told us to take whatever time we wanted. When the parking lots were full in the park, she found a solution so we didn't have to…”

“Great tour. Great views. Loved the hike. Just wish we could have done more for a $1,300 tour. Our guide was great. He gave us lots of space. Just maybe too much space.. We Had to get back on our own. We didn’t do or see anything special that we couldn’t have just seen our own. But it’s cool we saw some nice water. Thought We really did enjoy the whole experience! It was a lot of fun! Especially getting frisked by the sheriff. Would highly recommend this tour!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 17 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $1,248

Review of Seattle’s private 3-hour city tour, with Pike Place Market, Space Needle, Pioneer Square, Ballard Locks, and custom stops.

“This tour was outstanding. We were able to get an excellent overview of Seattle and our guide was very accommodating to meet our individual requirements. He adjusted the timing of our stops to allow extra time in places we found especially interesting and even changed the end location so that we could have lunch at a special restaurant near the Aquarium. On another day, we re-visited the city with local friends and found that we were indeed well versed in Seattle lore and were very comfortable in our Seattle Highlights knowledge. Highly recommended.”
