Emerald City
At perfect moments in Seattle’s history an important event occurred which resulted in the creation or preservation of what today are Seattle icons. Seattle’s “can do” spirit is reflected in such places as Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, Space Needle, Government Locks, University of Washington. These notable places provide departure points for an introductory excursion of the Emerald City. Mark this emphasis in our tour planner. Make Emerald City a part of your tour →
Seattle Residential
Neighborhoods are a special attribute of Seattle. “Appealing” and “distinct” are apt descriptors to characterize the superb residential areas of the city. Housing here is a mixture of architectural styles which makes adjacent properties visually interesting. Lush landscaping adds another striking dimension.

Prosperous Seattle companies and the attractiveness of the resident tech cluster are propelling increased density and conspicuously changing streetscapes. The makeover has extended the urban vibe boundaries. Development is reshaping different areas of the city and making them destinations to encounter city life “Seattle style”.

Metropolitan Prospective
A look at flourishing eastside communities near Lake Washington. Opposite Seattle and across the lake are where many of the region’s tech companies– Microsoft, Nintendo, T-Mobile, and Expedia – are headquartered. The proximity of Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah, and Woodinville to the urban/rural divide is just one attraction of the metro area that becomes evident on this excursion along with Snoqualmie Falls. This divide is also evident heading west by ferry to Bainbridge Island and onto the Olympic Peninsula. Make Seattle Metro a part of your tour →
Seattle Land & Water
Water comprises over 40% of Seattle’s area providing a diverse shoreline of commerce, maritime, residential along with recreational enjoyment. Close-up views of floating home communities, passage under bridges that cross the waterway that bisects Seattle, and the ambiance of being surrounded by hilly topography makes being afloat on a classic wooden cruiser an extraordinary picturesque experience..

"My desire is to make your visit memorable"
Raised in Seattle I have a sense of the city’s evolution. And while I also have California credentials most of my adult life has been here in the Emerald City, an apt moniker for the city.
With amazement I observe the continuing transformation of Seattle. In many realms it is such a dynamic place.
Beyond the metro area I also have a Pacific Northwest perspective from 20 years of regional travel for business. Enabling business associates from elsewhere to gain a sense of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest planted seeds for developing a private guide service.
With appreciation of and immersion in the bounty here ToneyToursSeattle easily connects to our guests interests and requests. Additionally, we desire to provide an understanding of why the city is a great place to call home. So, beyond a “city introduction” you will gain something more.
With the entire area our canvas a well-travelled guest can anticipate a distinctive private guide experience.
