This is a truly unique experience. I could not recommend this tour enough. It is the only way to experience the market. We went on the VIP early access tour that starts while the merchants are setting up. Our tour guides name is John. You get to see where all the action is before thousands of people are flooding the streets. You get several unique bites that on your own you would have never found. It is most the uncharted tour since everyone knows to go to Brecher's and Ellenos (seriously still go to those). John knew about all the aspects of PPM and had all of our food was ready for us before we got there so there was little to no waiting. Believe me, all those PPM visitors are very jealous of what you get. John even told us about places that we needed to check out after. You get to use your card that you get on the tour for 10-20% off at over 50 places in the market. And 5 free truffles with every card. Make sure to bring a water bottle in case you get thirsty like me! You have got to check this tour out!!

I'm so glad to hear that you had a great time with Heather. Next time you are in the area be sure to check out our Signature tour of Pike Place Market (this one has the chowder on it). Thanks again for the great review :)
