Our story
Meet Evan & Cynthia
Our family’s connection to Seattle goes back more than a century. Today, we share the places we know and love through private tours that leave room for conversation, curiosity, and your own interests.
Owner & tour guide
Evan Hemphill
I come from a background in documentary filmmaking and tourism. What I enjoy most is connecting people with the stories behind a place, whether that’s a working lock, a neighborhood landmark, or a corner of Seattle you’ve never heard of.
You might already know me from my Seattle videos. On a tour, we have time to go deeper, follow your questions, and make a day that feels personal.

From neighborhood history to everyday life in Seattle, she helps guests notice the details that make a day memorable.
Our approach
A day you’d plan for a friend.
Real conversations
Ask questions, follow a story, and tell us what catches your interest. Your guide can shape the day around your group.
Local perspective
Landmarks matter. So do the neighborhoods, working waterways, and everyday places that help you understand Seattle.
Your own pace
Private tours give us room for breaks, different interests, and the stops you’re most excited about.
