Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the market and the local area in general. The food was good and there was a variety, but this was also the first food tour I'd taken where I wasn't stuffed by the end. The tour was worth it, but it's not one that I'd repeat.

Hi Kathy, Thank you for joining us for the Early Access VIP Tour of Pike Place Market! We're glad that you enjoyed your expert tour guide and the variety of tastings provided at the eight partner locations visited on this tour. While the goal of the tour is to serve as a meal stretched out over two hours, we clearly missed the mark with that for you, and we apologize for coming up a little short. We hope that should the opportunity arise, you will give us another shot!

The Market was an excellent experience (especially the flying fish!) and our guide was excellent. The only thing keeping the review from a 5 was the food. It wasn't bad but it was only okay.

Hi Ed, Thank you for joining us on an Early Access VIP Tour of Pike Place Market! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour guide! And watching the fish fly at Pike Place Fish Company is something we enjoy as well, even after seeing so many times! We're sorry to hear that the food featured on the tour didn't exceed your expectations. The goal with this tour is to showcase some of the oldest businesses in the Market, and some of the newest. While we enjoy all of the food on the tour, which is why they were hand-selected to participate, we understand that taste is subjective. It's what makes tasting food in groups so much fun! Different people have different responses. We love having the opportunity to provide guests with a vehicle in which to have that unique experience. We hope to host you again in the future!

Mark was an excellent guide and I'm glad we went on this tour. I wouldn't have wanted to navigate the market on my own, especially since my husband has mobility issues. We enjoyed the many food vendors we visited and the wealth of knowledge of our guide. Our granddaughters especially enjoyed the gum wall and were able to add to it. I highly recommend this tour.
