Great tour! - I went on this trip with friends and we had the best time not just by visiting the tulip festival but also looking at the mesmerizing view of the river through the Deception pass bridge. Daniel is very kind, accommodating and answered our questions about places he showed us.

Skagit Valley Tulips - We wanted a quick and easy way to get to Skagit Valley for the tulip farms. This tour served our needs. Spent 2 hours at Roosengarde and took many colorful photos. Our driver and guide Vladimir was also thoughtful and accommodative to our needs.

Awesome trip! - A highlight of my Seattle trip! Daniel was kind and pleasant and made sure we had a comfortable ride (yay, bathroom breaks) and a gorgeous time at the tulip farms. He gave us lots of snacks and water, offered to take pictures of us. We were a small group of 4 in the tour so we took a van, but it was wonderful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic Tulip fields; Could do without stops at La Conner and Martha's beach - Driver Vladimir from the tour operator Oktay Tours showed up promptly on time. The Ford minibus was comfortable. The driver was courteous and provided information along the way. Tulip fields at Roozengaarde were spectacular! It was crowded but tour groups get to skip the line. That saved waiting in line and buying tickets. The weather was perfect, sunny and in 60s. Really enjoyed the two hours there, taking lot of pictures. The tour then included two more destinations. After Roozengaarde, the driver took us to a small town of La Conner about 15 minutes away. He talked the town up, projecting it as a very popular town by the water with lots of great restaurants, art studios and shops. I had never heard of this town, and it wasn’t crowded. Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and visiting Big Sur, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Sausalito and similar places for years, La Conner was a big let down. It had decent restaurants but it's a barely two block sleepy road. To stop there for two hours was extremely generous. Lunch break there was the saving grace. The driver then took us to Martha's beach, a small beach another 10 minutes away. Not much to see or do. We spent about 30 minutes there and then left for Seattle. Everyone's expectations will vary, but I could have finished after Tulip field thereby saving half the time.
