5.00Chef Eric was incredible and super knowledgeable about all things Pike Market! We got to skip lines for each stop, eat the iconic food of Pike Market, and learn more about what makes this market and neighborhood so unique. This was definitely worth the money. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Seattle and/or Pike Market for the first time!
