Awesome

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.

Great Food Tasting Tour with Woody!

Woody was very knowledgeable and led the group through the Pike Market Center at a pace that agreed with everyone. I was amazed that we received so many samples, plus sales percentages after the tour. I would highly recommend Woody.

Enjoyable overview with yummy treats

Great overall history about the market and its vendors. Enjoyed the various samplings biscuits, cheeses, delicious clam chowder and gelato. Our guide Chip was knowledgeable and personable. He gave us good tips to enjoy Seattle outside of the tour as well.
