Don’t call it “Pikes Market” - Kacey was warm and hospitable and able to address anything about Pike Place and Seattle tour tips. She personalized the tour which made us want to go back to many of the shops

Much more than I expected - I had low expectations for the tour but instead my husband and I were blown away. Our tour leader, Tessa, was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable about the market, and funny too! We felt like real insiders going into different locations and sampling the best of what they had to offer. We had requested vegetarian options and they were very accommodating to that. There was a wide variety of things we tasted and we surely felt fulfilled when the tour was over. Don’t miss this one!

Worth the fee - Very involved and extensive so yes, very good experience; fee was very reasonable; the tour guide was excellent and her knowledge was very good. The various food samples were all quite good. So the tour exceeded my expectations. The favorite part of the tour was the guide's knowledge.

What a wonderful tour! - Kacey was a great guide who introduced us to the history, people and food of Pike Market. What a place! What food! And doing a breakfast tour was definitely the right option as Pike Place was becoming crazy busy by the time that we finished, stuffed to the gills with information and delicacies.

Highly recommend - Had such a fantastic breakfast food tour with Kacey! I loved the variety, the fun facts, and, of course, the delicious food. I was impressed with Kacey’s extensive food knowledge and experience as a long-term resident who is well known in Pike Place Market. The extra 10% discount coupon at the end was such a nice bonus to use with several vendors.

Your group will love the morning tour of Pike Place Market - Our guide Judson was insightful, funny, and skilled at keeping a large party together. His knowledge of Seattle's vendors and history along with the various food and beverage stops made this activity a favored event for the team. Christiana assisted with the planning and coordination of the event, so from development to a farewell coupon, each step was an easy process. Staff members returned to the stops the next day and one has since taken advantage of shipping option from a producer. A great experience for every dietary restriction. We'd follow the pink umbrella again!

Less overwhelming! - Kacey was great! Had a nice time. I feel like the convenience and assistance with the market makes the cost worth it. The market is huge and would have felt really overwhelming to me without guidance. Kacey also pointed out other key places and made great recommendations. So much history too!
