Chip was an amazing tour guide and the tour made the market a much more memorable, enjoyable experience. The amount of food was more than enough and it was great varieties in sweet and savory. Highly recommend!
Such a great experience!
Liana_H, Mar 2024
We had such a great time exploring Pike Place market on this tour! Chip was an amazing guide. He is so personable and knowledgeable. We had so much fun tasting all of the different types of foods, and learning the history of the market. We ended up finishing the tour and spending a few extra hours exploring on our own afterwards. It is definitely a tour you should take if you like history and food!
Worth the price- great way to see Market

Upbeat host. 10 different stops to taste in 2 hours. Great insight into Market history and tips on other things to do in Seattle!
A Can't Miss Tour in Seattle
Rachel_R, Mar 2024
Jerry was a phenomenal guide. He was a wealth of knowledge and experience and kept things flowing while being detailed in his explanations. Jerry interjected humor to keep even our 13-year-old engaged and off her phone which is a huge feat :) The food was yummy and it was so nice to get to know this gem of a place more intimately during our trip to Seattle.
Jerry is a fun amazing guide showing many yummy places in the market!

We've lived in Seattle for 4 years, just a few blocks from the Pike Place. We learned so much about the market, saw things we haven't seen, found restaurants and great food and amazing makers that we will visit again and and again.
Jerry was an amazing tour...

Lucky was a GREaT guide, intertwined Seattle history, the market history and cute jokes to make this just a great tour. A lot of different foods - we were so full! Going early was great since the market was less busy and you could see so much better. Would definitely do again and with every cent!
Fun intro to Seattle

Our tour guide Jerry was great. He texted us information about the meeting point and was on time to meet. We learned a lot about the market and were able to try different types of food. (We recommend the early morning tour to avoid the crowds.)
