5.00An amazing way to get an introduction to the market. Provided an interesting variety of foods and recommendations on where to get more afterwards. A great mix of the expected tourist-y items and lesser-known stops. Will was a fantastic guide - managed to cram in lots of info and perspective while making it fun for all ages.
Great tour!

5.00I've been on food tours in 20+ other cities across the country and this was by far the best one. First and foremost our Guide named Will was incredible. Knowledgeable, friendly and precise in mapping a wide variety of places and flavors. The locations were ALL GREAT and the portions were more than fair with great owners as an added bonus giving their knowledge and expertise on what we were getting as well as food in general. I HIGHLY recommend this tour for anyone visiting Seattle.
Great Tour

5.00Will was a great tour host. He brought my tour group through several recommended shops that provided a variety of great food options in pike’s place. After today’s tour, I’m planning on coming back to explore the area further. If you have Will as your tour host, you will not be disappointed. Definitely do not eat before the tour or if you have to eay, eat a very very light snack. You will need stomach space to enjoy the variety of foods during the tour.

5.00Food tour was a fabulous way to get around the market and try a variety of shops without feeling overwhelmed. Will was a knowledgeable host who made us feel welcome. We did this as a family activity with a 12 and 14 year old and they said it was one of the best activities we’ve done in a city and although not everything suited their palates it was a great way for them to try a variety of foods without waste.
