Traveler reviews
Great Tour and Delicious Bites, but the guide needs improvement
Our group of six recently took this food tour at Pike Place Market, and overall, it was a wonderful way to experience the local culinary scene. The route was fantastic, and every food and drink stop was delicious and well-curated. The market atmosphere made for a perfect backdrop to the tasting experience. Our guide, Bob, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history, vendors, and food offerings. However, his delivery left something to be desired. Whenever members of our group asked questions, his responses were consistently curt, condescending, and somewhat arrogant, which put a damper on the group dynamic. We highly recommend the tour itself for anyone looking to sample the best of Pike Place, but we would suggest requesting a different guide to ensure a more welcoming experience.

Lots of history of the market. Delicious food! Definitely gets crowded, so plan to go as early as possible.
Seattle food tour worth fping
We really enjoyed the tour today. Chip made the tour very interesting with background information on all the food outlets within the market. The quality of the food we tasted was top class. Sorry we didn’t do this tour earlier so we could go back, but unfortunately we are leaving Seattle in the morning.

Great tour by Lucky. It was great to get in the meet early before the crowds and Lucky was extremely personable and knowledgeable.
