5.00Our guide Will was the BEST. awesome chill and funny guy, knew everyone from the restaurants we went to and gave me and I would say the others a really great time! this was my intro to solo touring and I highly recommend booking a food tour, Will set the bar high for future food tour guides and will highly recommend him to anyone!! All the food we had as well was super good and fresh it was perfect for having bites from the most famous spots without having to splurge! we hit up about 9 stops (not including our special stop from Will) and could barely fit more by the fifth or sixth stop. The walk was not anything tiring either and all stops were really insightful and great listening to while sampling what they were known for. Being able to have instant access on some of the food was killer, the Pike Place fish throwing also we got to have first view experience lol. Overall it was a really great time and would recommend this to anyone! solo, couple, or family/friends.
Don't miss it!

5.00Silas was phenomenal. He is very knowledgeable about the history the Seattle and the waterfront. All of the restaurants he took us to were right on point. We didn't have to wait on our samples. We even went back to visit a couple of the places after the tour. He is also very knowledgeable about food and gave great cooking tips. I highly recommend this tour with Silas.
10/10 recommend

5.00Our tour guide (Will) was the best! We loved this tour - we’ve been to the market several times but never would’ve stepped foot into any of these gems!! Portion size was great and the food inspiration was even better. Highly recommend for visitors or locals. Loved!

5.005/5. Will was so funny and easy to chat with. He was great at finding options for our dietary restrictions. All of the stops were delicious. By the end we were full of food and information about the best bites in the market. Will takes his recommendations seriously and created a fun environment to connect with the group.
Very interesting and lots of food.

5.00My wife was going Seattle on business. I decided to join her. And, I was looking for things to do by my self. I decided to try this because it was highly rated. I now know why it is highly rated. I was extremely happy I did this. And, would do it again. The chef the group had (Will) was fantastic. It was clear he knew Seattle, and the food here as well. A great guy, with a great company. Just do it, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks so much Will
