Excellent tour guide - Will is very knowledgeable, accommodating and attentive. Highly recommend any of his tours to locals and tourists alike. We will be coming back to Will for his chocolate tour.

It's like a party in my mouth! - Had a blast with this tour. Jade was a great guide and took care of all our dietary needs. Really enjoyed the food she introduced us to.

Try a tour instead of dinner! - What a great tour, with unexpected tastes! Focused on an area near Pike Place, this tour was different than most we have done before. You will be stuffed at the end of the tour!
We started quite simply, with a delectable bowl of soup - so simple and delicious. And then we were off - to Morrocan lamb pies, Filipino sausages, the most delicious salmon sandwich, fried chicken and a frozen dairy treat. Will was an outstanding tour guide, a really knowledgeable food lover, with tons of experience and knowledge to share.

Fun - Will was a great guide, warmly greeted at each restaurant. He filled us in on the history of the restaurants and pike place market. Great variety of food tastings. Appreciated Will’s friendly nature.

Great tour, wonderful guide - This was the second tour I went on with Jade and she was wonderful both times. It was like being shown around the city by a friend. She is a trained pastry chef with a minor in chocolate! and knows all about the food scene in Seattle. We tried lots of different and interesting things, heard a lot about the businesses we visited and had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour and would have booked more with this company after talking to her if I'd had the time.

I loved it! - I wanted to do something to learn more about Seattle and I love food so this was the perfect tour. All of the food was delicious and we went to places I probably never would have went to on my own. Ivy was a great tour guide.

Great selection of food - There was a great selection and quantity of food. The quality of the food was delicious. Our guide made sure to accommodate those of us who eat vegetarian and have food allergies. The only thing lacking was some information about Seattle food history (hence the 4 star vs 5 star rating). I would recommend this tour.

Not gourmet - Our tour guide was nice and very personable but the choice of food and quality wasn’t up to par. This was supposed to be a gourmet food tour but the food was not gourmet. We were disappointed ☹️

Look for a more historical food tour of Seattle - The tour guide Will is a really sweet guy. He seems to know a decent amount of knowledge about food but the problem I have with this tour is that we learned nothing. There seemed to be no historical relevance to the food locations we had tastings for and if there was we weren't told about them. All we did was walk to about 5 locations and taste something they sell.
I've been on a handful of food tours around the US and I would not recommend this tour unless they switched it up and added some food locations that make Seattle what it's known for. From this tour I have no idea.
