Delicious!! - Stone, our chef guide, was amazing!! All the places he took us to were so good. He gets a tray of samples so we didn't have to wait in line, and all of these places had lines :) You eat a lot of food, so go hungry. The food was really really delicious. We went back the next day to two of them...so glad we did this tour! You'll love it ❤️

Find Hidden Gems in the Market - I really enjoyed this tour as all the guides are chefs. Each chef goes different places and they have about 26 partners so you could go on multiple trips and not go to the same restaurants outside of Pike Place Chowder. Our guide was super friendly. Unlike another tour I went on, the food was already prepaid/waiting for us so we didn’t have to wait long once we got to the shop. You will definitely fill up on this tour. * Beecher - Cheese * Indi- Chocolate * Kitchen & Market - Kale Salad * Bonnie Bs - hot dog and pickled onions * Pike Place Chowder - NE Chowder (Market Chowder was my favorite, I went back later) * Pizza & Pasta Bar - Meatball * Made in Washington - will ship stuff home * Los Agaves Mexican Street Food - pork taco * Daily Dozen - donut

I highly recommend this tours! - The tour with Chef Sean was both fascinating and delicious. He chose locations that we probably wouldn't have discovered on our own and showed a deep understanding of the food, Pike Place Market, and the produce we tasted. Sean has a wonderful personality, and he makes you feel like a part of the community at Pike Place Market.

A great foodie experience in Seattle. - What an incredible experience! This Seattle food tour was a definite highlight. Our guide, a chef himself, was exceptionally knowledgeable. He seamlessly wove in his own culinary journey, giving us unique insights into Seattle's food landscape. Beyond just tastings, we gained a deeper appreciation for some excellent local spots and uncovered the fascinating history of Pike Place Market. And of course, the food samples from diverse local shops were fantastic. This tour is a must-do for any food lover visiting Seattle!
