My co-worker told me about this tour thankfully, and it was a morning very well spent! Justin Oba was our culinary guide through the early morning market place, and we loved every minute of it. We started with Honest Biscuits and coffee and launched in the market place from there. Stories, delightful treats, and a good slice of history, we loved every minute of it. Pike Place is so grand, and as my first time here, it was helpful to have someone really pointing out the special places to return to after the tour for purchases, souvenirs, and amazing afternoon snacking. As a former pastry chef who is still in love with farm to table food, I definitely recommend this tour 110%! Thanks Justin :))

Thank you so much for this review! We're delighted that Justin was able to show you around on our Early Access Tour. He's so passionate about this Market and really enjoys getting to tell everyone about it's hidden ins and outs. So glad you mentioned farm to table - we all love the fresh, organic, local, seasonal, and sustainable food that we indulge in every day of the week. Hopefully next time you're in Seattle, we can show you another tour and introduce you to even more!

I tried foods I wouldn’t have on my own and definitely left full! I hoped for a little more Seattle history, but John was a great story teller about the histories of the restauranteurs. Luckily, I also scheduled a 3-hour tour of Seattle that filled in the gaps! Would definitely recommend to a foodie with limited time in Seattle.

Hi Aletha! Thank you for joining John on our Early Access Tour! He definitely loves pairing the history of the Market with the food we can find around here. It's a delicate balance to walk, but we're glad you had an enjoyable time. Thanks for the review, and we hope we can see you on another tour next time you're in Seattle!

Mark was an awesome tour guide. We live locally but had never taken a tour of Pike Place Market. The tour was perfect! We were introduced to restaurants and learned a lot about the Market's history. I highly recommend this tour!

Hi Marcia! We're so glad Mark was able to show locals something that you might not have found before. Mark really loves this Market and delights in getting to show off those restaurants that folks might not always eat at on their own. Thanks for taking our Early Access Tour! Hopefully we (and Mark) can see you on another tour sometime soon.
