Fun experience!
Enjoyed hearing the history of Pike Place Market and seeing some of the shops we didn't know were there. The foods tasted were unique and delicious. Make sure to go there hungry as there was quite a lot.

Great Pike Place Activity
What a fun experience! Tour guide Will is outgoing, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I was so happy with all my tastings (my favorite being a lentil sambusa that I had never tried before). It is so much easier to go through busy Pike Place Market with a pro like Will! Value-wise, I think this was a great experience for the price as well!!
