Varied foods, a medium brisk pace, and lots to taste. This was led by a chef, but one would hardly know it was a chef as insider food perspective was seldom shared. However, our guide, Scott had a big and friendly personality, making all feel welcome. We absolutely recommend this tour. The reason it was 4/5 instead of 5/5 stars was because in the time allocated we felt we could have hit 1-2 more locations.

Eric was a great host and I appreciated the history and the local story that he was willing to share. Also, just a fun guy to hang out with. Will definitely look forward to another tour with him. The food experience was great and all the food was actually really good. Highly recommended.

Even though my son and I live nearby on First Hill, this tour made Pike Place feel brand new. We joined the Chef Guided Food Tour hoping to discover a few secrets, and Sylas absolutely delivered. He took us to so many spots we’d never seen before, and every bite was great. Fun, informative, and totally worth it!
A great way to experience a variety of food in the market

This is a great way to learn some history and the layout of the market and be able to sample places you wouldn’t ordinarily go to. Chef Noah was great! I did this tour a few years ago with friends so my husband and I did it on this trip. I loved that it was similar but different from the first time. Thanks!
Wonderful Tour

This was the best food tour I've ever been on! Almost every time I go somewhere new, I take a food tour. We sampled a variety of delicious food with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. My boyfriend was a skeptic of a "tour," but absolutely loved it and said it was his favorite activity while we visited Seattle.
Absolutely Exceptional!

Will was an exceptional tour guide! From his cheeky humor to his expert knowledge in both the food industry and Pike Place Market, this food tour was one of the best I’ve been on. This two hour tour allows you to experience a whirlwind of delicious food from a variety of vendors around the world and learn about the fascinating history of how this market came to be. If you are looking for a tour filled with delicious food, a fun time, and lots of laughter, I definitely recommend this one.
