    About this experience

    Seattle is a hidden gem among the cities of America and is well worth a visit. Birthplace of Starbucks and home to a dazzling array of seafood, Seattle is a foodie’s paradise. Seattle is not just a destination for food-lovers. The city is home to an array of landmarks and stunning views providing something new to see at every turn. This self guided audio tour is the perfect way to experience it all in your own time and at your own pace. The tour is expertly written by travelling researcher, past editor-in-chief and author Maurice J. Gallagher. Maurice’s writing is superbly narrated by voice artist Linda Browne whose velvet-like voice is a popular feature of many of our city audio tours. Linda will expertly guide you through the city uncovering its history and quirks along the way. Simply download the self-guided audio tour, plug in your headphones, open the map that comes with your download and head to the tour starting point. Please note this tour is only available in English.

    Ok but could be better

    App didn’t work so had to download which has no map. Had to guess the locations and use google maps. A bit long winded at times.

    Response from the operator: Hi there, we are sorry for the unsmooth experience, we have proceeded a full refund to you. Would you mind letting us know more about the crashing, like what device did you use, at what point did the app turning off etc? Much appreciate.

    Not worth the money

    I have used audio driving tours for several years. This one unfortunately was the worst one I have experienced. It was difficult to use, the logic of how the points were mapped out didn’t make sense and the navigation wasn’t included in the audio. I won’t be using this company again.

    Response from the operator: Hi there, we are sorry that you weren't able to do the tour smoothly, we'll look at the options to improve the tour and if you can provide your booking reference number we will proceed with a refund for you. Citywalksz Team

    Kind of boring compared to a human tour guide

    I did not enjoy this at all, but if you were looking for a way to get information about the city on the cheap, it may work for you.

    Really amazing

    Enjoyed the tour and the ability to spend time at more places due to quiet Covid times but we shot back to the free hotel wife to download so we didn't end up with Roaming charges. Good information and easy to work. Recommend.

    Great Tour

    Seattle is a beautiful city made even better when you walk around on your own with the audio guide. No noisy distractions. Enjoyable morning.

    Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seattle.

    How much does Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seattle usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Seattle is not rushed.

    Is Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seattle, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Seattle can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Seattle and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uncover Seattle: Self-Guided Audio Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Seattle within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Seattle?

    +

    Seattle's best days leave the city: Mount Rainier, the San Juans, Olympic National Park and Snoqualmie Falls are all day-trip range, and each one lives or dies on the driver-guide. In town, Pike Place food tours, underground history walks and harbour cruises dominate. Our ranking favours operators with small vans over full coaches on the mountain runs. On Outty we rank every Seattle experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mt. Rainier Day Tour from Seattle, Seattle City and Snoqualmie Falls Half-Day Guided Tour, Mt. Rainier National Park Highlights Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Seattle?

    +

    June to September for clear Rainier views and reliable ferry weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Seattle?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
