On South Lake Union (other side of the lake) is the Center for Wooden Boats. Weather permitting, and during warmer months they offer free sailboat rides on Sunday mornings. Check their website for availability and up to date information.

Not exactly a tour, but still a guided experience – public sails with the Center for Wooden Boats each Sunday are more popular with locals than with visitors (many visitors probably don’t know this exists). Boats range from sail boats to steam boats to paddle boats, but all are wooden, if you can guess from the venue name. To join in the fun, you have to show up in person starting at 10 a.m. on Sundays to get on the list. Show up early as boats can fill up.
