The variety of foods were great. The guide was very helpful. Sometimes had to wait for a tasting, but it wasn’t a long wait.

Great afternoon, great food!

Mike_S, May 2022

Imogen was a great guide. Very good storys. It was fun to be with her! ...and the food samples were great! Thx for everything!

Saturday afternoon tour

Tricia_S, May 2022

The food tour was fun and we learned a lot about the market. Dani was our tour guide and she know a lot about the market. We got to try a lot of samples of different foods we would have not had without this tour. I would definitely recommend.

Great adventure

Linda_B, May 2022

The tour was excellent. Nola was very informative……she combined the history of the Market with present day operations. Very pleasant and knowledgeable. The little tastings along the way were great. Nola was prepared and very well spoken. And she handles the tastings very professionally. She also gave a few tips on dining and other activities Seattle has to share. I would highly recommend the tour, Viator and Nola

Nola was an awesome guide...

Lori_C, May 2022

Nola was an awesome guide and the food was amazing . Nola was very knowledgeable about puke street market and made the tour really fun

Worth it

Mhailyf, May 2022

Our tour guide, Woody, was really knowledgeable and informative. Very considerate with my mom's situation (she's using a walker) Learned a lot of the history of the stores in Pike Place Market. Love cheese so Beecher's Handmade Cheese is a big thing! We enjoyed it and had fun!

Wonderful experience

Margaret_C, May 2022

Chip was an excellent guide. He showed the variety of stalls and merchandise available. He knew the history of the area and was skilled in sharing the history in an entertaining way. He provided a wide variety of tastes and introduction to the business owners and their backgrounds at the Market. Given the size of Pike Market, it is wise to take one of the guided tours to get the overall layout and an introduction to the variety. My sister and I returned twice more to do a more thorough visit and to revisit some of the business we were introduced to on the tour. Chip was on time (a big thing to me), he was able to pace the tour to accommodate my sister, who walks with a cane. He was well prepared, knowledgeable, and very entertaining.

Don’t miss this Tour.

Eric_E, May 2022

Our guide Emogene was more than great, she was super great. Friendly knowledgeable and just fun to be with.

NYC tourist

Shari_W, Apr 2022

Having the food tour guide so much more informative than walking about. Our guide Bob was engaging and energetic.

Excellent way to explore Pike Place

Natasha_H, Apr 2022

Woody was a fantastic guide with so much enthusiasm for Seattle and Pike place and their histories. We enjoyed tasting our way around the market, meeting the producers and learning the stories behind the dishes, ingredients and businesses. Admittedly some of the foods we tried are not necessarily things I would have picked independently, however, everything was delicious and it was great to try new things.

Great tour

Helenychun, Apr 2022

This was a great introduction to food places at the Pike Market. Chip explained the history of the market with photos of the past. He was good with communication before and after the tour. Really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend.

Food, History, and Steps!

Pam_J, Apr 2022

Our guide Imogen was FANTASTIC! The tour was well paced, with the samples coming out at the optimum temperatures at every stop. Imogen's dissemination of the history of the area was incredible! She showed us some secret spots to explore later. I highly recommend this tour and I will definitely do it again on my next visit!

Don't miss it

Bob was a great guide. He...

A_M, Apr 2022

Bob was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and kept us engaged. The food was good as well and everyone seemed happy to see us when we visited their spots.

Amazing Imogen!!!

Dave_S, Apr 2022

I can’t say enough about this tour!! So fun. Imogen was highly energetic and entertaining. We tried lots of things. We had Beechers Mac and cheese, amazing Ellenos Greek yogurt, fried fish from Jacks, a delicious raspberry bar, clam chowder (that gave Boston a run for their money). We tried the most delicious pistachio spread that was wayyyy better than Nutella!!! Omg! We had peach bellinis but you do have to pay 12.00 for those but worth it. So fun and met lots of people. Everyone in a great mood. You get lots of fun information about the market too! I didn’t want it to end. Thanks Imogen for a fun time!!!

Great food and history tour
