Want to learn more about the original buildings that you are standing in front of? Barely covered. Or the amazing debris that scatters the areas? Nope. Take Pictures as you walk, because that is all the time you will get. Oh, and if you are hard of hearing? You won't be able to hear the tour guide well.

We loved the interactivity that Chef Will fostered as well as the foods he shared with us. The grand finale was my husband getting to catch and toss a fish at the most famous part of the market. So much fun! We absolutely recommend this tour and would happily return for another round.

I used to scoff at food tours. Didn't really see the point of paying someone to show us around…read moretourist traps and tell us where and what to eat. Yeah, I was being a cynic. Then my wife signed us up for a food tour of Pike Place Market through Eat Seattle Tours. By the end of this experience, my whole perception of food tours had completely changed. Let's back up a bit. The evening before the tour, my wife and I strolled through Pike Place Market. We tried out food from a couple of famous spots, and called it a day. Quite honestly, I didn't get what all the fuss was about and didn't have high expectations for the tour. It turns out I was completely wrong about Pike Place Market too. It had more to offer than I could have ever imagined. And I have our tour guide, Chef Nels, from Eat Seattle Tours to thank for this. Nels, a former professional chef, led our group on an excursion through the marketplace, which turned out to be much larger than it looked. Besides the main area where the famous fish market is, it extends several levels below and stretches across the street, and includes a number of narrow alleyways. All told, it covers like 9 acres! Along the way, we learned some unique and interesting history behind Pike Place Market. For example, did you know that the most photographed spot in the entire marketplace, a Starbucks, is not the original location, contrary to popular belief? We also sampled lots of delicious food, of course. Highlights included: -A cheese biscuit that was buttery and crumbly (don't remember where Nels got it); -Clam chowder from one of the most famous clam chowder shops in the country, Pike Place Chowder-it was easily the best clam chowder I've ever had by a country mile, primarily due to the fresh clam meat; -Cheese curds and lentil soup (Nels offered us the famous mac and cheese or lentil soup-we went with lentil soup since we had their mac and cheese the day before) from Beecher's Handmade Cheese. The cheese curds were my favorite things I tasted during the entire tour. They tasted like fresh string cheese. I would have never thought to try this out at Beecher's. -Chocolate-covered cherries and nuts from Chukar cherries. Loved these so much that we went straight to the shop after the tour to buy some more for ourselves. Each thing we tasted was perfectly portioned. We tried over half a dozen things and I felt neither overly stuffed nor hungry when it was all over. Nels, who is officially licensed to provide tours at the marketplace, appeared to have a great partnership with all the businesses we tried food at. He would zip in and zip out of each establishment with a tray of samples. I do have to say there were a couple of items I tasted that were disappointing. First was the carnitas taco at Maiz. I wanted to like it since Nels talked it up so much. He described it as incredibly good and a tour favorite. However, I found both the tortilla and carnitas to be overly dry. It was borderline inedible. It could have seriously used some sauce, avocados, or something to add juiciness and flavor. That being said, I did like the little story Nels gave about the restaurant itself, how it was inspired by a two-year-old Maiz tortilla that the business owner found and tasted. The second item I did not care for were the arancini balls at Friends of Carmela. They were pretty bland-tasting and nothing to write home about. All in all, it was a wonderful and memorable experience. If I could give this review more than five stars, I would. Hats off to Nels for the fantastic job he did. I could tell he has a passion for his job and a genuine interest in sharing his knowledge of the food scene at Pike Place Market with locals and visitors alike. He truly opened my eyes to what food tours could offer, and has inspired me to seek out more food tours in other cities that I plan to visit in the near future.

The tour started much later in the evening so bring a coat! We got there a little early so we were able to browse the museum, which was fairly tiny but interesting. Our tour guide was Kim and she was a joy to be around. She really knows how to tell a story and keeps you involved in the tour. (Listening to evps, watching videos, asking questions) Our tour group was small but it made the whole experience feel much more personal. We walked all around Pioneer Square and visited haunted locations. My favorite stop was at the "Merchant Cafe". We actually entered and sat in their underground lounge. It was very spooky and took a few pictures to see if I could spot anything. The whole tour was made even spookier by the actual buildings around us. The mixture of older historical buildings and closed/abandoned buildings. Beware it is rundown and many homeless people but they keep to themselves. And I also felt something push my back during one of the stops. The guide was telling us about a specific spirit that was known for being "grabby" with women. Haha yikes. 4th ghost tour I've been on and excited to do more. Surprisingly I'm still a skeptic!

The tour takes place in the Pioneer Square section and starts from a building that seriously looks underutilized. I'm sure it would make for a good restaurant or bar or speakeasy, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards for them at this point. When you come in to check in for your tour, you are shuffled into what was the bar and wait. When time comes you all head downstairs for a presentation. You are introduced to your tour guide. Keyon, I hope I spelt that right, was our tour guide. He was energetic and intriguing. Funny as all can be with a tinge of hatred for nearby Tacoma. He knew every little bit of information about the Underground Tour. It was an educational experience. I had no idea about the history of the young city. After going through the dirty history you understand why they raised up Seattle. And why when you are underground you are technically on the first or ground level. Understanding why they did this was a big portion of the tour. On a tidal basin and fighting sewage, you needed to raise up. While doing this, they had to raise the streets first and then build the sidewalks. You find out there were no deaths during the great fire, but during the raising up, you find out there were a few deaths as men that got drunk would fall off the ladders used to cross the street at the time. Then there are the purple pieces of sidewalk glass. This glass has manganese in it, which after making contact with sunlight, and some time, turned it a purple hue. The glass was used to bring sunlight to the underground. Most of the buildings that had their second floor become the first had an underground portion that ended up becoming mostly storage. This included what was once the sidewalks. You can also see a lot of where the first floor has settled being built on the tidal basin and all. You go up and down a few blocks, literally. Hearing more and more about the history of it all. Told a spooky story or two. See the tour guide play a trick or two. The best was the part where he turned off all the lights at one point to give it a bit more spook. Do it if you have the chance. It is another way to learn about a city and one few way to see a part of it legally.
