The tour was very interesting and the tour guide really tailored it to our interests. Void, our guide, knew lots of interesting stories and history and all the best places to go and try some samples! I highly recommend this tour and , if you can, definitely request Void!
We had an excellent tour with tour guide Void. We learned a lot about the history of Pike place market. The shops we visited were amazing.
Void was an excellent tour guide. He was enthusiastic and very engaging. We enjoyed the various food samples as well as hearing about the history of Pike Place Markets. (The doughnuts were worth the extra steps I needed to walk off later on. :-)). I loved the smoked salmon samples too! Though I have been to the market before, Void showed us some shops I had not been aware of due to all the nooks and crannies of the market. My friends and I returned to several shops we discovered thanks to Void. My time after the tour was shorter than I had hoped, but I now have some unique shops to return to thanks to this experience. Highly recommend this tour and guide.
This tour hit the highlights of Pike Place market but also took us to some places I had never seen before such as the comic store and the apothecary. At each location our tour guide, Void, gave interesting facts about the history of the location. Throughout the tour, we were able to try samples of some excellent treats, including donuts, cheese, curds, and salmon. Void was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and had good rapport with the owners of the businesses we visited. The pace of the tour was good. We were able to look around in shops if we wanted to and ask questions. I definitely recommend this tour.
Beautiful day. Great tour. We learned a lot and the samples were delicious. Our guide, Void was excellent. Felt like we got real insider knowledge. The gum wall is so gross! 🤢
Voyd and Lauren were great tour guides. They explained all aspects and history of Pikes Place Market. We highly recommend this tour
Great your with mr Elvis (twelvis)
