I had a great time on the Early Access Food Tour learning about Pike Place Market and sampling local food. Kat was a terrific tour guide, who was enthusiastic and eager to share her knowledge about the market's history. The eight stops we made provided a good variety of food (plus coffee and tea) and was quite filling. Each sample was delicious! Overall a great way to spend a Sunday morning!

Hello Keith G, Thank you for joining us on the Early Access VIP Tour of Pike Place Market! Enthusiastic and eager hit the nail on the head when it comes to Kat. Her knowledge of the Market is only surpassed by her passion for sharing it with her guests. We will be sure to pass along your kind words. We're so pleased to hear that the selections featured on tour was satisfactory. Nothing brings us more joy than knowing you were fulfilled mind, body, and soul during your experience and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.

I took the VIP tour because I needed to leave the city early. Kate, our tour guide, was great, funny, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. However, I wouldn't recommend this tour. We were supposed to have "12+ tastings", ended up have less (probably around 8 or so). Some of the dishes we got the taste (the three type of smoked/jerky salmon, and the fruits) were offered as free tastings to any visitor in the market, so we ended up paying $65 for tasting 5 or 6 dishes. I always take food tours and this is the first one I do not recommend.

Hello ronenavner, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to hear directly from our guests. We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Kat. She is truly a fantastic tour guide. We were disappointed to learn that your experience in the market did not exceed your expectations. We’ve designed this tour to replace a full meal across the 8 stops we visit, with a total of 12 tastings, but we understand that each guests measure of fullness can vary. As a small, local business we strive to create experiences that are fun and filling, but also a great value for you and we take it very seriously when a guest does not feel that they had that experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts around your experience. It will be put to good use as we evaluate the portions and stops featured on this tour moving forward. We hope that you will give us the opportunity to exceed your expectations in the future.

First, our guide Mark was awesome. Humorous, knowledge, and flexible with the schedule. The food and beverage selections were spot on.
