Great food for the entire family! - Such a fun experience! Chef Sean was very knowledgeable and the food was fantastic. Even my picky daughter liked almost everything! I only wish we had known we wouldn’t be in the main Pike Place Market as we would have done that before our tour because everything was closing down by the time we finished. Definitely recommend! I included a photo of our samples and restaurants.

Nice Experience with the Chef at the Market - Chef Guided Food Tour of Pike Place Market was a very nice experience. My wife and I had been to the market during our previous trip to Seattle. But, we thought that we could learn more from the view and experience of a chef. We were not disappointed. Our guide knew the history and food of the market place. We sampled some foods that we missed from our previous visit.

Chef tour great time. - Will was an awesome guide. Very personable. He had a smaller group and was able to to take time to tell our group info about cutting boards and knives someone was asking as they were wanting to upgrade theirs, so we learned something extra. There were a lot more samples then I thought we were going to get. Overall a really good experience for this tour.

Good way to learn about the market - Learn about the market and its unique community. Sampled food was good. Guide was passionate about the market. It’s nice to have some personal info from guide but he spent too much time talking about himself
