5.00We had an awesome experience with Nick, our guide! He was super friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a bunch of great facts and history behind Pike Place Market! He's putting his degree to good use there. Also, the sample sizes are really generous and there's a wide variety of venders we visited so it's a very well-rounded experience! Loved the chowder, the kind owners and lentil soup at Turkish Delight, the unique Greek yogurt gelato at Hellenika Cultured Creamery (we went back to try the Ube Coconut the next day - delicious!!), the fish and chips, and the oh-so-good Chukar Cherries! You also get a 10% discount card that we def used later on. Thank you Nick for a great tour experience!

5.00Our food tour was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, Tessa was amazing — so knowledgeable, engaging, and full of energy. She didn’t just guide us through the food stops; she brought the local culture to life with fun facts, stories, and a great sense of humor. Every stop was well-curated, and the food was delicious and authentic. Tessa made sure everyone felt included and entertained, and we learned so much without it ever feeling like a lecture. You can tell she’s passionate about both the cuisine and the community. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore local flavors with a guide who truly knows her stuff. Thanks, Tessa!
