Chip provided a lot of history and back story information about the market. There was a wide variety of foods to sample. I hoped to have samples of unique food items but what we had was very good.
This is one of the best food tours we have ever experienced. Our guide, Bob, was absolutely amazing, and was a source of so much history. The food stops along the way were outstanding. We were able to sit, instead of standing, while he told us historical facts, and as senior citizens, that was much appreciated Bob was very conscientious. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this tour!
Really enjoyed our tour with charming guide, Bob. As natives, we know the market basics, but loved learning more about the history of the market, esp with historic pictures. And the food tastings were fantastic, with generous portions! Would def recommend to others.
Had a lovley tour with Bob. We are locals and this is our third foodie tour of pike market. Bob went above and beyond infusing the tour with local history.
Chip was an excellent guide who shared a lot of information about the Market. We sampled a wide variety of foods, both savory and sweet. It was an enjoyable outing and worth the price.
Bob was amazing. He worked hard to keep all of us informed. My husband and I are elderly, and he found places for us to sit whenever possible. It was raining most of the of the time, but he was thoughtful about helping us stand under the awnings when possible. We had a great time and learned so much about the history of the market.
Chip was a phenomenal tour guide and so very informative regarding the area, food, and the merchants that occupy the market. Would definitely do this again and highly recommend for others to try.
Our guide was thoughtful and informative. We enjoyed the tour of the market and most of the stops in which we were able to sample local foods. We did not like, however, the Truffle Queen visit. Truffles are not local and the sales pitch was too long and too pushy. Later, in the market and on our own, we had lovely tastes of local jams without a heavy sales pitch. Perhaps a shift here is in order.
One of the best things I could’ve done to help me enjoy pikes market. The tour guide was excellent in explaining all the information that you would never get just walking around on your own, which made pikes market all the more special highly recommend taking this tour, not to mention the fact that we did tastings from many of the places with super long lines because they’re so good a great way to taste your way through the market. Don’t hesitate to take this tour. I would say go early because you’re gonna wanna double back and go eat at several of the places they take you to if you have room.
The food was very good. Great time for our first time in Seattle to get to know the Pike Place Market.
