 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is just the best tour! It’s incredibly cool to start on Lake Union and end up in downtown Seattle, for one thing. We elected not to opt for the bus tickets back to the car, but instead went out for a lovely sushi dinner downtown, and grabbed an Uber back to the Argosy Cruise office to pick up our car after. It also is just fantastic to go through the lock, learn all about waterfront culture and industry, from floating homes to ship maintenance, to the history and purpose of the lock. I live in Seattle and this is the second time I’ve done this tour, because I knew I would learn (or be reminded) of something new and it’s an incredibly fun experience for guests. I would go again for a third time!

As a last-minute activity that was fun and relaxing, I would highly recommend doing the Puget sound one hour tour with these people. The crew was super friendly and offered drinks during the crew. The tour guide was informational, funny and relatable. Not only was he giving us interesting facts but also silly ones as well. Made for a great tour.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sit upstairs as you cannot make out all the talk given if you don't. Kk. My son is in a wheelchair without legs and they tried very hard to help us hear but the engine noise is too loud downstairs. Would not recommend for disabled as there is no ADA bathroom abd no way to get upstairs.l Pick a clear sunny day if possible. They don't let you board until about 30 minutes before departure and only 6 or 7 chairs to sit on. Crew is friendly and helpful.
