Do it!! - So fun!! We decided to do the tour as part of our girls trip and it was truly a highlight for all of us! There were 14 in the group but it wasn’t too many. Will our guide was great! He took us to a few staples and a few hidden gems. We especially loved the way the vendors all seemed to know him and gave great explanations to us. Highly recommend doing the tour even if you’ve been to Pike Place hundreds of times - You may learn something new that’ll blow you away!

Great way to Experience Pikes Place Market - Sylas was a great guide around the market. His knowledge of the market, the vendors and cooking was invaluable as he expertly guided us through the maze of food stalls and vendors. Stops and samples were varied. Beechers Cheese and Pikes Place Chowder were two of my favorites. I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Sylas.

Excellent! - This tour was well worth the cost. Scott was knowledgable and brought market history, culture and insight into Seattle and the community during the tour. The food samplings and stops were very good. I learned a lot and sampled a few of the food vendors and reataurants during the 2 hours. Wit was an excellent experience for a furst time visitor to Seattle and the Pike Olace Market!
