Amazing Amazing Amazing - Our guides Matt & Catherine were absolutely fantastic! This tour was so much better then we hoped. The food was amazing, but the history and background that they shared with us about Pike Place left us feeling so excited to explore more on our own and with a much deeper appreciation of Seattle in general. If you only do one tour in Seattle, it has to be this one!

Best food tour-Heather rocks! - One of the best tours we have taken! Heather was amazing and flexible with our needs. She was so fun and gave us the history of Pike Place market in an interactive and interesting way. We loved meeting the vendors and tried the most amazing food. My son and I thought it was the best lentil soup and clam chowder we have ever tasted. The tour did not disappoint and I would highly recommend to anyone!!

So good! - Such good food and great stories! Thank you, Skyler (ERRR!) Donuts, fresh fruit, clam chowda, ginger beer, lentil soup, Turkish delight, candied cherries, fried cod & slaw, and an el pastor taco. As Neil Diamond would say, “So good! So good! So good!” (And thanks for the bonus tip of the biscuit and cheese grits!)
