Tastes & Tidbits
I did another version of this 15 years ago. It was so fun to do it again and try new things from new vendors as well as learn new Pike Place tidbits! I would definitely do it again.

Description
Over 450 small business call Pike Place Market home, so the 5 restaurants that everyone has heard of hardly tell the whole story. Market life is dynamic. Why should your Market food tour be any different? We personalize your experience, avoid the obvious, and get to know Pike Place on a personal level. This does not mean you won't see fish being thrown or snap a picture in front of the historic coffee shop, but you'll also get the chance to eat at restaurants you never would have gone to on your own and to learn something you can't find on the internet. Our tours live and breathe Market life. We know how to miss the crowds and who’s home-cooking you've been smelling all morning. We aren’t afraid to go off-script. Expect the unexpected. Come join us off the beaten path!
