This tour was truly an excellent experience. Mark, our guide, was super knowledgeable and just an all around interesting gentleman. With him, I really felt that this was much more than a tour just about tasting the food around Pike Place, it was also about learning about the past and present of the market. All in all, a super enjoyable experience, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Hi Kilroy5845, We're so glad to hear you had a great time with Mark on our Early Access VIP Tour of Pike Place Market! Thank you for your kind words, we will be sure to pass them along to Mark. You are absolutely correct that this tour is about so much more than the delicious food! Although the food is great, Pike Place Market has such a rich history that we think is important to share. Mark has extensive knowledge of Pike Place Market, which has given him the skill to bring the Market's extensive history to life for his guests. Thank you for joining us and taking the time to leave us a review, we hope to see you on another tour soon.

Took this tour with Kat and it was an excellent one. I got to see some really interesting things in the market, I likely would not have found them and surely wouldn't have had the taste tests without this tour. I really enjoyed the Tea, bacon donut holes, papusas, Turkish Pides, and Salmon. I also bought a lot of tea, salmon. I got to learn a little about the people of Seattle supporting each other and it was a really well done presentation by Kat. Definitely get in with Kat because you will be on line forever for some of these places she will take you to, if you go alone.

Hi drunkphotography, Thank you for joining us on our Early Access VIP Tour of Pike Place Market! We're so glad to hear you had a great time exploring Pike Place with your guide! There are so many wonderful hidden gems within Pike Place that it is nice to experience the Market with a guide to test taste some amazing creations and getting the added perk of skipping the lines. The Market Spice Tea is truly amazing and I have never found a tea like it before, and the Maple Bacon Donuts from Daily Dozen are so delicious I could eat them all day! We're so excited to hear you went back to purchase more from the locations you visited, we hope you used your VIP card to get your discount for being a valued guest of ours! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we hope to see you again soon!
