    Pioneer Square

    Your first Seattle stop is the legendary Pioneer Square — the historic birthplace and oldest neighborhood in all of Seattle. Stroll through the atmospheric cobblestone streets and beautifully preserved Victorian-era red brick buildings that tell the fascinating story of Seattle's remarkable past — from its humble founding in 1852 by the Denny Party settlers to the devastating Great Seattle Fire of 1889 that burned the entire original city to the ground, only for Seattle to rise from the ashes and rebuild itself stronger and grander than before. Your expert guide will lead you through the neighborhood's charming tree-lined boulevards, ornate iron pergolas, and thriving art galleries while sharing captivating stories of the city's colorful history — including the famous underground city that lies buried beneath the streets of Pioneer Square, preserved exactly as it was before the Great Fire. A fascinating and atmospheric introduction to the authentic soul & pioneering spirit of Seattle.

    Kerry Park

    From the historic streets of Pioneer Square, your private vehicle ascends to one of Seattle's most celebrated viewpoints — the legendary Kerry Park on Queen Anne Hill. Perched 400 feet above the city, this beloved hilltop park offers the single most spectacular & photographed panoramic view in all of Seattle. Stand at the railing & drink in the breathtaking 180-degree vista stretching from the iconic Space Needle against the downtown skyline, across the sparkling blue waters of Elliott Bay, to the snow-capped peak of Mount Rainier on clear days. On exceptionally clear mornings, the view extends beyond Mount Rainier to the entire Cascade Mountain Range & the distant Olympic Mountains across the Sound — a breathtaking sweep of natural and urban beauty found nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest. Named after Albert Sibley Kerry, who donated this land to Seattle in 1927 so everyone could enjoy this view free of charge, Kerry Park remains one of the city's most beloved gifts to its visitors
