We are not a simple transportation company that only drives you around the city and point out different locations through the windows with one or two quick 5-10 minute stops. With Shutter Tours, we take the time to stop and explore the locations allowing you to have a richer Seattle experience and help you with simple photos tips on your scenic tour.
Our tour begins with either a hotel pickup or meet your tour guide at the Pike Place market at 10 AM. As we make our way through the city, you’ll learn the history of the city, how the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 became an important event to turn Seattle into a major city and explain the “Underground” of Seattle.
We then make our way on I-90 over the worlds second longest floating bridge. Your guide will then share some fun facts about Bill Gates house as you cross Lake Washington and make your way to the Cascade Foothills. Your first experience in the Cascade foothills will be a drive through the town of Snoqualmie, the real “Twin Peaks” of the Pacific Northwest. Then you’ll enjoy the majesty of Snoqualmie Falls, which is sure to be a favorite memory on your tour with us.
