5.00Got this experience as a Christmas gift along with my siblings and mother. Some of us have lived in the Seattle area for almost 40 years, and we learned tons of new things and saw parts of the market we had never been to with Sylas as our guide. It was thoroughly enjoyable and fun. Highly recommend for tourists and locals alike.
