See Seattle Walking Tours guide Terry Seidler talks to a group at the Bell Street Pier on Seattle's waterfront. One way to see Seattle is to take a ride in a World War II vintage amphibious vehicle equipped with roll-down windows, heaters and personal quackers. For those who love a party, this tour will put a smile on your face. Running from May 13 to Oct. 13, the trolleys circle the downtown core from the shopping district near Westlake Center to the waterfront, Pioneer Square, Safeco Field and, of course, the Pike Place Market. There are 11 stops in the loop and you can get on and off at any - or every one.
Trolleys swing by every half hour, giving riders time to explore.
This old warhorse of a Seattle tour has disappointed customers for three decades. It's 90 minutes of going up and down stairs and wishing this tour had more meat on it. The tour meets and departs from Doc Maynard's, a cool place to drink beer, but things go down hill after that. They can't drink beforehand.
