Scenic Seattle Tours, Boeing Tours, Falls & Winery Tour
Description
By borrowing money from his father-in-law to buy his first van, Lou launched Customized Tours. Through tenacity and determination Lou began by talking to hotel concierges and developing a good city tour. He would wait in hotel lobbies for small groups needing transportation when no tours were booked. It was during this time that Lou developed his philosophy of treating his customers as guests. He considered himself an ambassador for the City of Seattle.
Lou eventually needed help and had several people help him, a handful of these original guides still help with tours today. One of his early tour guides was (locally famous today) Dick Falkenbury, known for starting the movement to expand Seattle's monorail.
Chances are if you call Customized Tours today, the phone will be answered by Lou's oldest son Joel. Joel runs the day to day operations of Customized Tours now while Lou helps out in a pinch and pays the bills and other errands.
