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!

Matt is so passionate about the Market, and he really loves to show off both its culture and its food in a way that is truly unique. Thank you for the review, and we hope to see you on another tour next time you're in Seattle.

This was a great tour! While walking around Seattle a few days prior to the tour, I wondered whether it would be worth it as you can technically see Pike Place on your own but it ended up being absolutely worth it, we got to try so many different foods you would have never known to get yourself (tacos, salmon burgers, biscuits and more) and learned some great Seattle history. I definitely would recommend.

We got to experience the history of Pike’s Place as a narrative punctuated with tasty morsels. Jon (without an h) was informative and had great rapport with shopkeepers reinforcing the notion that Pike’s Place is a market built for the people, by the people. Though a bit early for a Saturday on vacation, would highly recommend the 8:30 tour, as you get to catch a glimpse of the market and the people running it, before it’s overrun by tourists. The biggest challenge will be deciding which morsel was the tastiest at the end of your trip.

We're so happy that we were able to give you a closer look at the Market through our Early Access Tour. Jon certainly knows how to wake you up with facts and fun even on a Saturday morning. The Market is certainly a fun place even when it's bustling. Thank you for the review, and we hope to see you on another tour next time you're in Seattle.
