What to expect

Start by downloading the Action Tour Guide app, which functions as your personal tour guide, audio tour, and map, all in one. Once downloaded, your walking tour of Seattle begins at the breathtaking Seattle Aquarium. Here you’ll discover the rich aquatic life that abounds in Puget Sound.

From there, you’ll pass the Seattle Great Wheel and hear how a shrewd businessman transformed a pier into a tourist hub, full of bakeries, restaurants, and other shops. As you keep walking, you’ll learn about Puget Sound and the history of the Coast Salish. The journey next takes you to majestic Pioneer Square, the heart of modern Seattle. You’ll learn about the city’s first steam-powered sawmill and the rise of logging, Seattle’s first major industry. Here you can also admire the 60-foot totem pole, which came all the way from Alaska!

As you head toward Pike Place Market, uncover the history of Starbucks and get to know the mind behind its explosion: Howard Schultz. Hear how he transformed a small local chain into the biggest name in coffee! The journey concludes at bustling Pike Place Market, a historic market where you’ll find anything your heart desires.

But that’s not all! This tour also includes a bonus walking tour around the Space Needle. Learn its history, explore the surrounding attractions, and see a whole different side of Seattle!
