We had a great time on... - We had a great time on the tour. The selections were a great variety of styles and flavors and Lee, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable not just about what we were drinking, but about the entire neighborhood. I think we also managed to avoid walking up any inclines the entire time!

Excellent Seattle Coffee Tour - Our guide Lee is very knowledgeable of small businesses and the coffee scene in Seattle. The tour focused on vendors in the Capital Hill neighborhood which was delightful. I enjoyed learning more about offerings in the area, history of Seattle, and the roasting process. I strongly recommend this tour!

Coffee tour - We did the walking coffee tour with Sam. He explained what the plan was for the tour. As we walked he pointed out historical places along the way. The coffee stops were fun and informative. Would definitely recommend Sam!

If you like coffee, culture, and history... - ...this is the tour for you! Sam, our local tour guide, took us on an informative and entertaining walk around Capital Hill. Sam's knowledge of all things coffee was evident as we visited 3 unique and tasty coffee spots along the way. This tour is well worth taking whether you are a local or from out of town.

More than just great coffee - Yes, the tour is a deep dive into Seattle's most famous beverage, but also an excellent introduction to the city itself. You get to explore the Capitol Hill neighborhood and get a feel for how the locals live. Lee had great insights into the culture and history of this fascinating city, and for the true coffee enthusiasts in our group he had a wealth of coffee knowledge. Even if you're just a casual coffee drinker like me, take this tour. It will make your trip to Seattle all the better.

Coffee culture! - Sam was awesome! He shared the best coffee places and secrets from a local’s perspective. We got a some history and architecture as well which gave us such context to everything. I really appreciated sampling different types of coffee hybrids. Sam went above & beyond to share his love of the coffee culture in Capitol Hill!

Super experience. Don't miss it - What a great way to meet people from different places while walking the streets of Seattle and learning all about coffee from Lee, our tour guide extraordinaire! Lee chose three different and special coffee houses and taught us more about coffee beans than I knew there was to learn! It was really fun and the time flew by. The coffee tastings included education about the venue and the source of the beans. Even if you're not a coffee lover, this is really fun!
