My husband and I were visiting Seattle and thought this food tour would be a great way to explore Pike Place Market without being totally overwhelmed. It absolutely was. Our tour guide was Sylas, and he was fantastic. Very personable and knowledgeable. We had 9 different stops with some amazing food. We tried clam chowder, a chocolate chip cookie, a hot dog, candied salmon jerky...the list goes on. It was wonderful to visit these super busy restaurants without having to wait in line. Since we went to so many different places, we got to see a lot of the shops, which gave us an idea of where we wanted to visit afterwards. I would definitely do another food tour with them when I'm back in Seattle. read more

Pike Place Market is always our go-to. And we always do the food tour when we're here. No two tours are ever the same -- so much history, so many stories. I've done it five or six times now and have never once had the same chef leading it. Only two stops were repeats... and that's because they're absolute icons. read more

I'm a Seattle native and my sister wanted to do a food tour. We had our tour on 3.1. With Chef Will(chef dimples)! It was the BEST two hours ever! We had a great group of people! The food was AMAZING,(even tho chef will probably tell you I thought differently) the portions were SO filling. I honestly can't wait to go on this tour again. I will for sure be requesting chef will when I bring my big group down for a visit. This tour was prompt and timely! And honestly a really good time! The fish toss was a my favorite! read more

First time ever doing a food tour and I absolutely loved it. Got a little history, lots of food and a great experience. We had Jonathan who was fantastic! He was so personable, really tried to get to know each member and was so accommodating to those with allergies. Seeing him interact with the tour stop employees and the amount of information he knew made it wonderful. read more

We did this so long ago and I never finished my draft! Better late than never (never late it better). We popped up to Seattle for a long weekend, stayed in downtown, rode scooters to meet this group. It was FAB. Not only do you get extra lore, but little tastes of everything without.waiting.in.line. That in itself should be the biggest reason you book this. read more

Went to the Pike Place Market food tour, and our guide Stone was so knowledgeable. He shared his experiences working with a few renowned chefs in several cities. Luckily, our group was small, so we were able to get to know each other more and had a really fun time together. The meeting place was outside of Simply Seattle store, and the tour was started on time. We sampled 9 different places and enjoyed all the food. My favorite was the meat pie from the Land of Origin. The avocado based spicy sauce was perfect with it! Definitely recommend the tour! read more

This was one of my all time favorite activities in all of my travels over the years! Our guide, Johnathan, was extremely friendly and personable. From the beginning, he asked all of our names and where we were from and continued to remember things about each of us through the whole time together - which was impressive! The tour moved at a perfect pace and it was amazing to skip the lines at every location. It was clear he had a good working relationship with all of the shops we stopped at. The shop owners seemed genuinely happy to have us! Now for the food - so many samples! It was at least a full meal worth of food. Also, he asked about food allergies and remembered those and had substitutions available at every stop! In total we stopped at 9 places and had about 16 samples. Our favorite was the cheese, the taco and the gelato! There was only one sample we didn't care for. Again, this was one of the best curated food experiences I have ever done and would do it again next time I came to town. read more

My family and I had an amazing tour of Pike Place Market yesterday led by Scott. Despite the weather being typical Seattle wet and cold, Scott was a great host sharing many great stories while we sampled so many great finds of the market. Would highly recommend! read more

We were looking to find an easy way to explore pike place and try a variety of food they have while spending a short time in Seattle. The experience was way better than expected! We were guided by Chef Will who created a fun, educational and tasty experience. He even shared yummy recipes as he shared about the food we were eating and educated us on pike place. The food stops they had we're all solid. We had a hard time deciding our favorite dish! Highly recommend this tour. Great value read more

The tour was amazing. We had Will as our tour guide and he was a great guide. Very informative and very entertaining. Answered all our questions and made the tour well worth it.

Thank you Will for the great experience! - From your 9 person Hawaii group! Mahalo! read more

We just finished a wonderful tour with Jonathan! He has great energy and did a fantastic job choosing all the different places. Exploring the market and some of the behind the same stuff is so cool! I'd recommend if it all possible going on a weekday instead of a super busy weekend. I've done the tour both times, and enjoyed the slower paced weekday one better. I believe we went to 9 different stops, but we're able to taste several different things at some of the stops. Took some pics- hope you enjoy viewing our tasty bites as much as we enjoyed eating them! Great job Eat Seattle, and Jonathan! read more

This was a pretty disappointing experience. I've done a food tour in every place I've visited. It's the perfect way to learn about a place while enjoying the food and drinks. This was the least enjoyable of the 15 I've done. It was also NOT worth the money. I was in Seattle for a teacher conference and the conference organizers put together private tours -- a food tour one day and a coffee tour the other. You can see the descriptions of the tours in my photos. (FYI...The photos are in a weird order for some reason.) No where does it say that the food portions will be small but my goodness were they all small. I've never experienced a tour in which I left hungry but on both of these I did. I also wish I had known that no water would be available on the tours. I was so thirsty the whole time. I'm used to sitting down and enjoying the food but that didn't happen here. I get that it's a different setting than a lot of places but we did sit down at Indi so we could have gotten some water there. An add-on for alcohol was offered on the food tour for $17. I opted not to get it and I'm so glad that I didn't! It was for one stop on the tour. I'm used to getting decent size drink samples at every stop so that would have disappointed me. But here's the kicker...I ended up ordering the same drink as people got with the add-on for the tour and mine was cheaper!! The coffee tour was INCREDIBLY disappointing. While our tour guide was knowledgeable about the city, the only time I was told anything about the coffee was at the first stop. And every coffee seemed to be the same. Absolutely nothing unique about them. No pour overs. Nothing iced. It should have been called a pastry tour and not a coffee tour. We had more pastries than we did coffee. I was also disappointed because I got two of the exact same food samples as I did on the food tour. It would be nice if pre-planned private tours that are scheduled by the same group get to experience unique offerings. A very frustrating thing about the coffee tour was that we stopped at an Ethiopian stand and the lady working had no idea we were supposed to be there so she didn't have anything prepared. So I essentially paid for something I didn't receive! Our tour ended 20 minutes before our scheduled end time. I paid more for the coffee tour yet received a lot less. I was so hungry and in need of caffeine when I was done that I ended up buying a latte from Ghost Alley Espresso and chowder from Pike Place Chowder. read more

My Mom and I wanted to check out Pike Place Market, and I'm so glad that we chose this chef-guided tour! We walked through before meeting Stone, our chef and tour guide. Without Stone, we would have been overwhelmed and/or missed some crucial places. We had limited time in Seattle, so this was a fantastic way to try a curated menu. We absolutely love the vendors and unique model for how the market supports the local community and small businesses. This is a can't miss in Seattle! read more

The Pike Place Market tour was probably our favorite thing we did while visiting Seattle. Our guide was Will and he was fantastic! Not only did he take us around to different vendors at the market, he mixed in some market history and even some tips and tricks he uses as a chef. He was fun to be around and made sure all our dietary needs were met. I would give more than 5 stars for Will if I could! read more

The Chef Tour of the Pike Market, led by Jonathon, was a phenomenal introduction to some of the most flavorful food in the market. We were provided generous portions on each of our stops (no dinner needed for me tonight!) Jonathon's experience as a chef and restaurant owner shone throughout the 2-hour tour and hearing directly from the some of the business owners was an added plus. I recommend this tour to anyone new to Seattle and the Pike Market, and extra points if Jonathon is your guide. read more

I have to admit I was very disappointed in this tour. The guide spent approximately the first 20 minutes of the tour telling us his life history. The rest of the tour was just okay. There was one point where he brought us into one store for a "tasting" that turned out to be a cold tea in a container available to anyone in the store. Then left us to shop. I have taken other food tours so perhaps the bar was set higher by the other companies. Would recommend checking out the market place on your own. read more

We went on The Eat Seattle tour on a date day. It is an amazing and informative experience! We were guided to 8 places and got tastes from all of them. Our tour guide Scott was very informative, funny and was awesome at explaining The Pike Place market. It was awesome hearing about the history of the market and learning of the market community. Getting delicious bites from different restaurants and stores was an added bonus! Hearing from some of the different vendors was awesome also. Hearing their story of how they got to their spot in the market was fascinating! The tour takes right around 2 hours, and there is lots of walking, sometimes on uneven ground or cobblestone. Make sure you have proper footwear. It is absolutely a great experience, sorry there are not more pics, I was really engrossed in the story telling. read more

Visiting Seattle for a work conference, and my coworker and I decided to do a chef guided tour during our lunch break. Sylas was our tour guide. He was clearly very enthusiastic about food and I greatly enjoyed hearing about his career. He mentioned how the chefs pick their own favorite vendors/spots to take the group. I couldn't help but notice the great relationship Sylas seemed to have with the employees of the vendors we visited. His great appreciation for the Market, employees, and food in general was contagious! The food was delicious! Not all of the samples are pictured. I love stepping out of my comfort zone and trying some foods I'd never had before. The amount of food served was definitely equivalent to a meal and kept us full until dinner. I loved hearing about the history of the Market, some of the vendors, and Seattle as a whole. I greatly enjoyed listening to the vendors speak about their food. There is clearly a great passion they each have for their craft. I will be recommending the chef guided tour to anyone that is headed up to Seattle! read more

I've been to Pike Place market before (and loved it) but after our tour with Noah I'm seeing it in a whole new light! Not only was all the food amazing and I tasted things I wouldn't have otherwise, but there was never a dull moment with Noah's anecdotes and humor. He made us feel right at home with his inside scoop, history lesson, and genuine love for the market. I can appreciate the experience so much more knowing how it all came to be! Definitely going back tomorrow for a full size chowder! read more

We are locals who played tourist and did the Chef led food tour of Pike Place Market. Our guide, Stone, really knew his stuff and his historical knowledge went beyond what we even knew and his strong relationships with the vendor was apparent. The tour was a good pace, quite a reasonable amount of walking, and covered a great selection of styles of food, market gems, sweets and other small treats. It was a good but not overwhelming amount of food. Some were places I knew (Beecher's cheese, Pike Place chowder), others were places I had walked past a million times but hadn't tried (Pizza and Pasta Bar, Chocolate and Ice Cream Delight, Truffle Queen). It was a blast and it gave me great ideas for where to buy Seattle area gifts for friends and family and where to take folks when they're visiting. We would highly recommend the tour! Bonus points if the weather is nice but there are many parts that are covered if it's not. read more

5 stars all the way. We are locals, but did this tour after seeing it on Tiktok. We did a weekday morning tour, with Chef Eric as our guide. I disagree with another reviewer who said it wasn't enough food for the price. My husband and I both left home without having breakfast. We sampled beignets with caramel sauce (AMAZING), Beecher's cheese curd, flagship cheese, and penne with cheese sauce, a chicken tinga taco from Maiz, Indi cacao nib cookies, blackened salmon, BBQ pit shredded meat with slaw, Pike Place clam chowder, Market tea, Chakurs cherries and pecans, Honest Biscuits, and each place gave a nice bit to try. See photos for examples. They are samples, but they are more than just 1-2 bites. Also included with your tour is a bottle of water. There's a handful of restrooms throughout the tour. You'll climb just a few stairs, and walk mostly on both even and uneven cement. I don't know which was better - learning of the Market history, learning about culinary arts, or tasting the food. Chef Eric was very interesting, and you could tell that what he was saying was from experience and not scripted. He was able to answer all questions and was very knowledgeable! We parked in the Pike Place garage on Western Ave for $4/hr and it was close to the starting point and walks you past a bathroom on the way. We added gratuity to the bill before the tour, but remember to bring some cash with you if you prefer to tip after the fact. This tour hit all of the good stuff: Good food, interesting history, walking in fresh air, good value, and learning from a chef from the local food scene. Loved it. Can't wait to try the South Lake Union one! Thanks, Chef Eric! read more
