Fun afternoon tour - This was a fun way to explore the warren of levels that is the Pike Place Market! John was enthusiastic and well connected. He knew someone everywhere we went and loved to shout out to shopkeepers. The servings were generous and it wasn’t just the free samples that all visitors get. My fave were the cheddar biscuits, hot dog with pickled onions, pizza, and the chocolate covered cherry.

Great tour, do it! - We did this tour in the off season it seemed on a Saturday. Everything was open but the market was not very busy which was perfect for the tour. John our, tour guide, was great. He was a funny, local guy who knew all the vendors and all the places to go. We hadn’t eaten breakfast and we got enough samples to fill us for lunch. We are so glad we took a tour because the marketplace is confusing and we learned a lot. We would definitely recommend this tour, it was the perfect way to spend our day in Seattle before the hockey game we came in for.

Meet the Market was Superb - Jason was no knowledgeable about the history of the market and the shops in the market. So much food tasting I got full and had to pass on the last few offerings.
