The Pacific Northwest has it all, with its diverse and stunning natural beauty, unique culture, and a world-class culinary and wine scene. InquisiTours are Pacific Northwest locals. We bring the Northwest Lifestyle to you in private, custom, and small group tours. We have a far-reaching desire to connect with people and our planet. Knowing this connection can be achieved a thousand ways, our first step is with the neighbor, the winemaker, or the farmer that welcomes you. The places we see will dazzle and humble you, but the people we meet will leave you smiling and eager to re-tell the story. One of the most frequent comments we get from guests is how well organized and paced our tours are. With over 25 years of building tours, we take pride in creating fun and memorable moments, and seeing you create your own! Our flexibility allows your passions and interests to become part of your travels with InquisiTours.

With over 25 years of Tour and Cruise experience, InquisiTours offers deluxe, escorted land tours, custom and private tours, and self-drive packages through the Pacific Northwest region, one the most stunningly diverse regions in the world!

We feature the North Cascades, with its eponymous national park, and the tulip-filled Skagit Valley and the coastal town of Bellingham. Our guests enjoy whale watching in the San Juan Islands National Monument and extending their stay to enjoy the charms of Friday Harbor.
The rugged North Central region of Washington, with its western towns, crystals clear lakes, and endless orchards, is often the most surprising destination we visit. As the nation’s second-largest producer wine, Washington Wine Country is a popular destination, with the Walla Walla Valley delivering small-town charms and world-class varietals. In the shadows of volcanoes, our travels through the Columbia River Gorge offer stunning vistas, great trails, and waterfalls. The Northwest Lifestyle is thriving in our vibrant cities with Seattle, Portland, and Boise, all offering their unique landscapes, culture, and histories to the stories you’ll hear. In short, there isn’t a corner of the Northwest we don’t love and are willing to explore!
