Awesome tour! - We took this tour in 2019 and came back and brought our family this time. The tour is amazing and we enjoyed it just as much the second time thanks to our fabulous tour guide, Kacey! We order from vendors on the tour all the time, and we are so glad we went on this tour.

Best way to experience Pike Market - Very enjoyable tour filled with all different food tastings. Nick, our guide, had a wonderful, dynamic personality and dispensed the history of Pike Market as well as each place we visited in an interesting way.

Chocolate Covered Cherries and More! - Our guide, Nick, was phenomenal. He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Pike Place Market that it made me want to live nearby. The food samples were delicious! I loved them all, the doughnuts, the clam chowder, the fresh fruit, the ginger beer, the gelato, the lentil soup, the Turkish delight, the beer-battered fish and coleslaw, but especially the chocolate covered cherries, blueberries and pecans! This tour was worth every penny. My friend and I loved every minute of it. Thank you, Nick!

Excellent Taste and Your of the Market - Sky[ler] was an amazing tour guide! His passion and love for his town and this Market was contagious. Given the size of the Market, it's a little overwhelming to navigate. We tremendously appreciated the guided tour and all of the stops. We especially enjoyed the historical knowledge Sky shared throughout the tour. If we walked the market on our own, we would have certainly missed this valuable part of the tour. My recommendation for anyone touring would be to make it a full day. Do the tour first and then go back and explore for the rest of the afternoon. Bring a shopping bag too, lol!

Food Tour with Frankie - Must Try! - This was my first time in Seattle and I this was my favorite part! I loved getting to know about the famous Pike Market and try all the delicious snacks/treats/foods/beverages! I couldn’t believe how many places we stopped and how many places we were able to eat at and learn about. I am usually “one of those people” who are constantly taking pictures of the foods they eat, but I was so interested in learning and trying new things I didn’t get my phone out the entire time. But the mouthwatering clam chowder to the fresh ginger beer - there wasn’t a stop we went to that I didn’t enjoy thoroughly. There was never a dull moment, our guide Frankie was so well informed and made history fun. There was never a lull in the tour and it was made so everyone of the tour guests were welcomed and included. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle - even if you’ve been before or think you’ve tried everything the market has to offer! This tour was seriously the highlight of my time in Seattle! Thanks guys!!

Best way to start your Seattle trip - I started my trip to Seattle with this tour and it was an excellent way to begin my week. As a first time visitor to Seattle and Pike Place I knew I would enjoy the market for more if I had a little guidance. The tastings were excellent and the history was helpful and enjoyable. Tessa was an excellent guide! I went back to the market several more times and knew exactly where I wanted to go and what I wanted to eat/buy. Best way to get to know the market is to take this tour!
