5.00Bob was great! Loads of historical information about the market was shared. All food was quite tasty! I’ll bring a pop up seat next time as there was not a lot of seating but it was a walking tour !
Worth it!

5.00Bob was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and led us through the market expertly. Great sampling of a wide variety of foods and he was very cognizant of any allergies and food restrictions. Well worth the cost and the discount at many vendors is a nice perk!

5.00Absolutely wonderful. Chip was tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area, & food was excellent !! It was especially nice to learn some of the history of the area, & not just walk through it.
Delightful food experience at Pike’s Market

5.00This tour was amazing.As a party of seven ranging in age from 5 to 66 we all enjoyed the informative tour. Pike’s Market was full of hustle and bustle. We appreciated our guide Chip as being professional and patient as we had trouble finding the starting point of the tour. We were so glad we had this experience with a guide as the food samples were phenomenal .Again, Chip was the best and we would do this tour again when in Seattle

4.00Keith, our guide shared a lot of knowledge on the history of the market and surrounding area. There were small samplings and brief stops throughout the tour. Beautiful views of nature, architecture and local art are everywhere.
A must Do

5.00A must do for the best understanding of Pike Place Market. A bit of walking and maneuvering around the market, but an incredible experience. Highly recommend!
Great for navigating a busy Saturday afternoon

5.00Bob is a really excellent guide. My husband and I have been in Seattle several times and explored Pike place on our own. But it’s always been during the weekday because we would travel for work. This time we’re on a family trip with my siblings and their families (including two kids) and my mom. We wanted to book a tasting tour because we knew it would be busy and we wanted to learn about Pike place and have the tasters. Bob is so knowledgeable and I learned a lot about Pike Place history as well as a few extra nuggets. The tasters we got at each place were small, but added up to us being full by the end. It was great not to have to wait in long lines and all the food was delicious. I really appreciated that Bob also tipped all of the street performers when we went by even if we didn’t stop to listen. He said that it’s important to tip street performers and I can’t agree more. Highly recommend taking this tour and asking for Bob!
