5.00Eric was a great guide. His knowledge of the market area was so interesting and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food we tried and actually returned later in our trip to a few locations!
Will is the best tour guide

5.00Will was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He had all the connections and provided good background info. Managed the size of the group well. He chose good locations to share with us, except maybe the Truffle place. It was interesting but just not for me. And he's wrong about In & Out burgers, but that's his opinion. Otherwise a wonderful tour and everyone enjoyed it.
Wonderful Experience

5.00We had a great time! Food was delicious and company was wonderful. Will did a great job introducing us to the foods in the market. To top it off, I caught the fish at the market. That will give me bragging rights with my kids. I would recommend this tour highly.

5.00Will was amazing from the get-go. He’s a knowledgeable and passionate chef and great guide. We went to at least 9 different places sampling delicious foods along the way. It was a fantastic way to see the market and spend a couple of hours.
Our guide, SILAS, was phenomenal. What a great insight

5.00Went straight on the 11am tour following red eye from Hawaii and this tour WOKE US UP! What a start to a 72 hour layover here in Seattle. We had been told Pike Place Market was a must see and wow is this the way to see it behind the scenes. Our guide SILAS WAS EXCEPTIONAL. His knowledge was phenomenal and a thoroughly engaging character. I could not recommend this tour more highly.
Best intro to the market!

5.00Will was amazingly knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour memorable and educational. We were so impressed with the variety and efficiency of showing up on a Saturday around lunch time and having cheese. Meat pie, pizza, out of this world Greek gelato (meeting the owner and having him explain all the magic), throwing fish and having great truffles and chocolate. After the tour, we re visited several of the places we were introduced to. This tour was highlight of our Seattle trip! Highly recommend Will!
