5.00This was the best food tour I've ever been on! Almost every time I go somewhere new, I take a food tour. We sampled a variety of delicious food with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. My boyfriend was a skeptic of a "tour," but absolutely loved it and said it was his favorite activity while we visited Seattle.
Absolutely Exceptional!

5.00Will was an exceptional tour guide! From his cheeky humor to his expert knowledge in both the food industry and Pike Place Market, this food tour was one of the best I’ve been on. This two hour tour allows you to experience a whirlwind of delicious food from a variety of vendors around the world and learn about the fascinating history of how this market came to be. If you are looking for a tour filled with delicious food, a fun time, and lots of laughter, I definitely recommend this one.

5.00A funny and tasty foodie tour of Pike Place Market. Scott our chef tour guide was full of funny stories and took us to multiple stores within the market to sample the various flavours and offerings of the market. Scott provided hints and tips on how to order efficiently for future trips to the market. I recommend this tour as one of the first for Seattle so that you can return to the market throughout your visit.
Great food and guide! Lots of fun!

5.00Tour was a great time with amazing food! I learned a lot from Will who knew all the great spots (Pikes market can be a little intimidating with so many shops.) He taught us a lot about food, introduced us to some great people and gave us suggestions of other places to check out. Left super full and content! Would love to have a beer with that guy sometime!
