Great tour with an awesome tour guide - Our tour guide, Scott, was very personable. He knows the history of Pike's Place and had samples of some great food at every stop on the tour. If you're booking a trip to Pike's Place for the first time, then Scott is the man to lead you thru the maze.

Fabulous food tour - Eric was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the Market and took me to places I haven’t been to before. I enjoyed hearing about the origins of the food I tasted, and came away with a new sense of appreciation for the local stores in the area. I highly recommend his tour to anyone who wants to truly experience Pike Place Market.

Worth your time and money! - We enjoyed the historical background of the Market that Noah shared with us upfront. Also enjoyed his story of becoming a chef. We thought the tour length and distance was appropriate along with the size of our group (8). The food tastings were delicious, with favorites of the pickled relish, sausage, tea and pizza. Enjoyed the "built-in" restroom break at the Irish pub. Noah's energy and enthusiasm were appreciated.

Good tour. Be prepared for lots of walking and standing. - Fun tour with Noah. Be prepared for lots of walking and no place or time to sit. You are on your feet for 2 hours. Interesting history of the market. I did feel like it was a prepared talk and always the same which is good and bad. I would have added the cheese making place as a stop. Overall good!!

Unpleasant tour - Our tour guide Noah was very loud (yelled most of the time) and talked non stop. No opportunity to ask questions- despite the fact we were only a small group of 3. Not a well rounded tour of the market we only covered 10% of the whole market, and only stayed on the upper floor. The food samples were really good though.
