A $35, 1.5-hour small-group Pioneer Square walk telling six women’s stories from 200 years of Seattle. Rare stops, real bite.
“The six women tour with Carter was amazing! Carter knew all of her history, stories, and was able to answer all of the questions that we had that went beyond her normal tour. Carter presented information and stories about women that we did not know before and impacted Seattle as it is today. We take lots of tours in Seattle and would rate both the tour and the guide a full 10. I fully recommend both this tour of the six women of Seattle and Carter as a tour guide. Any chance you can get to take a tour with Carter would be well worth both the time and money…”

“Our tour guide, Tom, was terrific!! He's passionate about the outdoors & loves to share information about tourist sites in Seattle, its history & what it's like to live in Seattle. He was interested to listen to our comments & answer questions. We enjoyed walking the entire tour from the pier, to brick covered streets at Pioneer Square where he told us the story of the Great Seattle Fire of 1889.
