This was a wonderful trip. We would all have liked a bit longer to just look at the factory floor and see the work in progress. It is a definitely worthwhile half day in Seattle.

Boeing factory was great and not to be missed. Really interesting, lovely tour guide, and we saw the first Dreamliner finished - fantastic! For the pickup, an unmarked white van pulled up outside hotel. We were waiting in foyer and after a couple of minutes went out to check if this was for us. Driver on phone - no acknowledgment. We went back to van a few minutes later and driver said he was not allowed to park there and could not come in and get us! Great start! We were the only ones in the van, and the driver was obviously quite bored and tried to tell us stuff about Seattle in a patronizing manner, but we had been in Seattle nearly a week and had done lots and would have preferred he concentrate on the road. When he drove us back, he dropped us off in the middle of the road at an intersection when the lights were red! I am still cross that my husband gave him a tip. Hire a car or get a cab.

We enjoyed our tour very much it was most interesting and all our guides were excellent. Our tour guide/bus driver was especially good as he gave us plenty of background on Seattle's history and also made it a very friendly atmosphere on the bus. This led to us spending the afternoon with a couple we had done the tour with.

Well, the Future Of Flight Centre is great. The Boeing Factory - Awesome. If you like anything to do with planes, you will not fail to be fascinated by this tour. If you fancy a bit of plane spotting, there is an outdoor viewing deck on top the Future of Flight Museum which gives a excellent view of Paine Field KPAE. The driver I had shared his local knowledge of Seattle and Boeing on the way and back. Priceless in itself. A Star.

Enjoyed the tour and it was very interesting.
