Fish throwing was fun, and they do “perform” for the groups. It was nice to get some history of the market. A thoughtful variety of food sampling, but definitely not the best food. I felt some of the areas covered and food sampled (supposedly VIP) a bit off track and not the core of what you would want. It’s a food tasting tour, I would have liked a better focus on that. Didn’t love any of the items we tasted, and there is so much at this market. Food was ok though. We had a nice walk, and a small group that was lovely to travel with. It would have been nice to meet a vendor or two as it was early. At one stop “treats” were taken out of our guides dirty backpack. That’s not a Pikes Market experience. All tastings were fine, history interesting. It wasn’t bad, but we had visited market earlier in our trip so I was hoping to learn more, get more out of this experience. No Beechers cheese on the tour was a big “miss”. I’d have even appreciated a list of recommended shops to hit afterward (expert favorites). Worth doing, I guess your guide and relationships with vendors can make these tours better.

Unfortunately, this was not an "early-access" experience. The tour started at 9AM which meant we were entering the market at the same time as everyone else. There were already crowds of people entering the market, making it hard to navigate through.
