We loved this tour and tour guide, Matt! The wide variety of food options is stellar, and the history about Pike Place market is so interesting. But the key ingedient is Matt - his passion for the market and this tour is so infectious. It makes you want to learn more about the people, the market, and the food. Great job Matt!

We had the absolute best time with Matt and the group. It was so interesting hearing all about the market and how it's become the staple in Seattle. Eating lots of samples was great too, still thinking about the cheese biscuit. So awesome! Matt's passion for the market was incredible, he made the tour for sure, I can't say enough great things about him! I would 1000% do this tour again. Highly recommend, worth the money!

We were already familiar with the area of Pike Place Market, but our amazing tour guide Matt brought the history to life for us. We tasted unique food choices (all delicious) and met local merchants. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS TOUR. Ask for Matt as your guide if you have the option.

Our guide John's knowledge and passion for the Pike Market made our tour truly one of the best experiences of Seattle. Great food from little gems of the market you may never get to know unless you take the tour! Tour was taken 27 Oct 2019 with our 13-year old son who also enjoyed the tour. Great job John!

Cannot recommend this tour enough! Our guide Matt's energy was infectious. He had us laughing and captivated for the full two hours with his mix of history, food facts, and personal Seattle stories, having lived in Seattle himself for 30 years. The food tastings were sizable--we didn't go home hungry!--and there was a variety to the types of food we sampled. We've lived in Seattle for 8 months and were blown away by how much we learned on the tour. No better way to explore Pike Place Market!

John was great with giving a lot of history and background information during our tour. There were good portions in our sampling and actually found that I liked smoked salmon and ate my portion of the salmon burger. Our early tour set the atmosphere for a wonderful day in Seattle.

We went on the early morning food tour with Matt last week and had a great time! Matt was a great guide and made us feel so immersed in the culture of the market. It was really neat to see the market "waking up" and all the food and drinks throughout the tour were great! We met a lot of new friends and had a great time! Do this tour!
