5.00Go ahead and BOOK IT! I promise you won’t regret it. What a memorable experience. I have been on many food tours and this one by far trumps them all! Will, our tour guide is a true Seattle gem! He is knowledgeable about the shops history and passionate to share his love for food with his group! All of the shops were unique and so delicious!! Many shops I admittedly wouldn’t have popped in on my own! Would joyfully recommend this tour to friends and family!

5.00My family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our food tour of Pike Place Market with Chef Eric. This was our third tour of the market and we enjoyed Chef Eric‘s food selections, market, history, and humor. Nicely paced, plenty of food and great local recommendations. We’ll return for his food tour of South Lake Union.
A nice variety of what’s...

5.00A nice variety of what’s available at the market. The group was small enough to allow everyone to be included. The guide gave information on the market history.
