5 Stars - A Must-Do Experience at Pike Place Market! My wife and I recently visited Pike Place Market in Seattle with my father-in-law. We had been to the market before and just wandered around, but this time my father-in-law suggested we try a tasting tour--and we're so glad we did! That's how we met Lucky Lane, our guide with Show Me Seattle. I'll admit I was a little apprehensive at first, but Lucky completely won us over. He was incredibly friendly, fun, and hands-down the most knowledgeable tour guide we've ever had. Lucky brought the market to life with fascinating history, personal stories, and the absolute best tasting samples Pike Place has to offer. There were too many highlights to list--every stop was unique, delicious, and memorable. Lucky struck the perfect balance between informative and entertaining, and made us feel like we were exploring the market with an old friend. Thank you Lucky! If you're visiting Seattle, don't just wander--take the tour with Lucky. It'll change the way you see Pike Place Market! read more

We had a great tour to the Boeing Museum in Seattle, and it was all because of our representative/driver Casey Raiha. He made the drive over educational, and knew everything about Seattle and it's outskirts. You could not ask for a better tour guide than Casey. And as an added benefit, at the end he offered us all a choice of 3 dropoff spots (not just our original hotel pick up spot.) We had been worried about getting to our next destination from the hotel dropoff, and Casey saved us from that worry. Thanks so much for a great tour Casey! read more

My company booked the Pike Place Market Food Tour, and we were fortunate to have Lucky as our guide. He provided an exceptional account of the Market, its history, and the people who continue to bring life to one of Seattle's most iconic landmarks. It was clear that he genuinely cares about the market and its vendors, and that passion shone through as he walked us through the many stalls and shared their stories. As a vegan, I really appreciated how he went out of his way to ensure that the food vendors we visited had options that suited my diet. He was also considerate of everyone's needs throughout the tour. Additionally, he did a fantastic job at recommending places to visit after the tour, helping us make the most of our time at the Market. Really fantastic job, Lucky--thanks for your time, attention, and for sharing your knowledge with us! read more

Jerry is the most amazing tour guide and person that I had the pleasure of meeting today!!! Please take this tour --it was one of the best experiences that I have had in my life!

Lucky was our tour guide, and it was excellent. Learned so much and tasted so many yummy things. I had no idea pike place market was so big! Definitely recommend doing this tour with Lucky as your guide! read more

What a great tour of the Public Market. Our guide was Nola Wyse and she was amazing. Nola is both knowledgeable of Seattle and the Market. The locations on our tour were great and the food was terrific. I highly recommend experiencing Public Market with a tour. There is plenty of time to visit other vendors after your tour or to go back for a meal at one of the places on the tour. read more

Shawn B was our guide / driver. Absolutely amazing. So much knowledge and pertinent information. He went out of his way over and over to make our tour incredible. We met a couple other drivers out and about and all were friendly. Biggest tip I've given and worth every penny. read more

They are finally re-opened and we were excited since we bought a Groupon over 1 year ago! It was pretty cool because not only did they honor our Groupon, they accommodate us for a non- regular time. We did the pike place tour and we were the only 2 people. We got there a little early but was welcomed by our excited guide, Marcia. We went through 11 places on our tour to sample food around pike place along with learning some interesting facts about the location. The samples were good and the experience was pretty fun. Marcia did a really good job telling us things about pike place that we never knew. It was also cool to see how she knows everyone and even had them interact with us along the way allowing them to tell us their stories. My only critique: I wish we had gone in reverse order because it would have been nice to end with desserts rather than start with them. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

If you get Shawn as a driver it's your lucky day. He's so informative, knowledgeable and accommodating. It's so worth getting this tour, to visit and see several places all in one trip without driving and having to park. It's like being on a cruise and seeing many places in one trip. read more

Thank you Dani for the fantastic tour!!! Great tour guide that is funny and so kind. read more

Very fun and informative tour of Pike Place Market! We got to try several shops while learning the history of the market over the course of 3 hours. Definitely a good deal for first time Seattle visitors to try bites from several food stalls in the market, including: pastries from Three Girls Bakery, Greek yogurt with marionberries, fresh salmon from the fish market, cinnamon orange tea from the spice store, truffle goods from Truffle Queen, cheese from Beecher's, biscuits from Honest Biscuit, fried fish, caramel candies, and more! Also, for all of the food stalls you sample, you get 10-15% off future purchases for the week if you plan on returning to any over the next few days while in Seattle! We used our discounts at Truffle Queen and Honest Biscuit! read more

We came with a super big group broken down into several different groups with different guides. The guide for my group was Woody. He was an awesome guide...very knowledgeable and entertaining. He was friendly and kind--as well as protective as we witnessed several people almost being ran over, and even one hit by a car. Be careful! Washington drivers are crazy! Lol He had recommendations for after tour activities. We all enjoyed our tour. If I were to do a guided tour of Seattle again I would love Woody to be my guide. Thanks Woody! Youre the man! read more

Really good character, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Always looking for something new to do at every visit to new places!! Definitely recommend!! read more

I wanted a food/history tour so I took a chance on a Groupon of Show me Seattle. Our tour guide Bob was sooo great. He really knows his stuff on all things Seattle. He came prepared with hand sanitizer, napkins and wet wipes! It was a 2 hour tour but it didn't even feel like it since Bob made the tour fun! The samples were great as well. I ate breakfast before so the samples filled me up and I didn't have to eat lunch. It is a walking tour so bring your walking shoes and comfortable attire. Other than that I really enjoyed it! Thank you Show Me Seattle and Bob! You also get a 10% discount to use at the places you sample. read more

What a fabulous way to see Seattle !!! Our tour guide James Grindle did an amazing job showing us the city, explaining the deep history of Seattle, historic buildings, fun facts, pointing out names of trees, flowers, types of salmon & so much more on our 3 hour sightseeing tour. I travel a lot & have taken many tours & can honestly say, this was my favorite experience due to our tour guide, the history I learned & things that I saw. I fell in love with Seattle & what it has to offer. Thank James for your passion & amazing knowledge of the city. read more

Bob was great! Throughout the entire tour, he always had fun and interesting facts about evey part of the market. His tour is awesome for out of towners and local residents alike because you are bound to learn something new. Covid protocol is also excellent. Bob was meticulous in ensuring all of the samples were touched only by you, and had plenty of hand sanitizer to go around. He also went out of his way to find outdoor spots for us to eat (so we didn't have to remove masks in the market). As an extra bonus, all of the food samples on the tour are delicious! Perfect portion sizes to get a good idea on what tastes you like. And if anything does stand out, there's incentive to come back because you do get a 10% discount. read more

This tour would benefit buy hiring someone with an engaging / inviting personality, current knowledge and did not have long times of awkward silence. For the amount of money we spent, I wish we chose a different tour. read more

We were recently on a cruise and had a few hours before our flight so we booked this tour. This was a great tour and our guide James seemed very knowledgeable. read more

Fantastic and interesting tour of one of the best attractions in Seattle, Pike Market. Perfect day and an abundance of sunshine. Tour guide Dani was entertaining and shared many details and history of the Market. We have been to the Market prior, so it was nice to get some insight of a professional. I would recommend the tour for singles, family or wedding group even if you are familiar with the Pike Market district. The samples of food were much appreciated. read more

// Summary A "could-be-fun-for-you" informational tour with snippets of food that leave you wanting a bit more. // Experience I scheduled the earlier experience online, and we started at a coffee shop just off the market. It was fast-paced as you hit up all the spots in a "short" amount of time. One of the most disappointing things was that I was still pretty hungry after the food tour. Generally, I've left most food tours full or satisfied enough - but that was not the case with this food tour. Sure, I do eat a lot and am known to have a bottomless pit of a stomach, but I literally could have eaten a full meal after the tour. // Service Our tour guide was "Lucky," also known as one of the three Dave's. He texts you in the morning before the tour starts to confirm whether or not you're still able to make it and double-checks for any food allergies. During the tour, Lucky displayed his inventory of dad jokes - so if that's your thing, you're in for a good time. Lucky seemed to be very knowledgeable about the history of Pike Place Market, and was overall quite the character. // Ambiance You're going throughout the Pike Place Market - so if you want a guided tour through all of that, then this might be for you. // Convenience There really isn't anything convenient about Pike Place Market, but booking online was easy (especially with the option to add a tip beforehand). read more

Tessa was our tour guide. She was very vibrant and knowledgeable about the market. The history lesson the people working at the market how the inner workings of the market is done was very informative. No spoiler alerts sorry. I highly recommend the tour. Not one thing we tasted was not approved by my palate. Had I known ahead of time what I was eating it something I never would have tried but loved it after the tasting. After the tour my husband and I bought food from two of the vendors we could take home on a plane with us to share with our family. If you have allergies or issues with certain foods the tour does its best to work around it. There was a lady in our group who had Celiac disease ( I think it's no flour or wheat products ) anyway she got a tasting at every stop as well but of something different than we had. I thought that was pretty cool. read more

We had the pleasure of booking a Sunday morning tour during their off season. We ended up with a beautiful day to do so! Woody, our local guide, was very friendly and full of information. He was even willing to give additional recommendations on places and activities in the area after the tour ended. The tour itself was pretty standard and as expected. We stopped at various stalls and arcades in all of the districts of Pike Place Market. Some of the vendors gave a brief history of their location and offerings, which added even more depth to the experience. There was a good variety of types of food to sample along the way. Being gluten free, I was able to have something from each location. Everything seemed to be prepared fresh upon our arrival. The food was delicious! Woody definitely enhanced the tour experience with his knowledge and friendly banter. Early in the tour I told my husband that I want to be his friend--that's just the kind of guy he seemed to be. He performed his job well, giving a wealth of information with a delivery that was not dry or boring and added his own personal touch in how the history of the market had impacted him. He also seemed to have built a solid rapport with the venders we did encounter, which agin speaks to the type of person he is. We would 10/10 recommend him and the company to anyone looking for this type of experience. read more

We had a an amazing tour with Woody McAllister from Show Me Seattle on Saturday. We toured pikes Place market, and he showed us the best parts of the entire market. We sampled food from many of the vendors throughout the entire market as he talked about the history and development of pikes place. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, and he made us feel as if we were all his family we would definitely do it again when we're in this area. Thank you Woody you're the best. read more

Dani was great! Nice relaxing tour with good food and lots of fun history!! Make sure you bring water and walking shoes!!

I would reccommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle. Our Tour guide was very knowledgable. That's one of thing you want in a tour guide.. He's dern good. read more

Loved the tour! Lots of interesting history and great samples. Bob our guide was the best!

My Tour of Seattle on Friday, 7/21/23 was fantastic! Our Guide, Mark, was very knowledgeable and personable. The weather started off overcast, but once the Marine Layer burned off it was a beautiful day to see Seattle! I booked the 3 Hour Tour through Get Your Guide and saw there was an option to visit the Space Needle and Pikes Place Market, but couldn't figure out how to add in on in advance. Mark was kind enough to reach out to the operator for me and make arrangements for me to add these options on so that I could enjoy them the same day! Thanks Mark! read more

Omg. 2.5 hours of history and food. If you leave this tour hungry...you did something wrong Included tastes on the tour (and some are very large tastes) MELISSA was a wonderful tour guide! Gelato Samosas Tea Dried apples Local yogurt El pastor tacos Pikes place chowder (nationally ranked) Laura Ewing Baur Smoked salmon Truffles/truffle oil Local Bacon Salmon burger Biscuits Omg....I have a food coma going read more

Show me Seattle tour was well worth the money. It was a 3 hour tour with 3 photo opportunities outside the bus. James Grindle our driver and tour guide drove safely and was a great tour guide. He had a plethora of information, trivia, history and fun to know facts about the city. It was so much fun, you could tell how vested he was in his job and making sure the trip was enjoyable. Be sure and tip James and enjoy your tour. read more

The tour was pretty good with a lot to see, meaning we didn't get a chance to spend much time at our limited stops. This tour is mainly spent looking out of the window of the bus, which may suit the older tourist. James our driver was an excellent guide/driver with a wealth of knowledge. Expedia needs to be more accurate with their tour timings & pick-up location. We were told to meet this tour guide at the wrong location & the wrong time. We were waiting for 90 minutes before the guide showed up. read more

Imogen was amazing! She was super entertaining while also filled with lots of knowledge. She knew when to step in and offer up her know-how and when to let the vendors take the wheel. All in all I would recommend the Pikes Place food tour with Show Me Seattle. I'll be booking with them again for sure :) read more

Our tour guide, Cacey Williams was simply the best. She was knowledgeable and very entertaining!

Bob was amazing! He acted as our expert local and gave us insight on Seattle that only a local would know. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle! read more

I was highly disappointed. I have been on 2 other food tours in seattle and specifically one on pikes place and several at other cities. i have never had a bad experience until now. We could not hear the tour guide. The tast of the biscuit was cold and dry, and tacos where dried meat like it was from the previous day. The others were good. We did the early bird tasting to get a more intimate experience and it was the opposite. read more

Bob is THE BEST!!! Seriously so fun! Definitely recommend going and requesting Bob. Lots of delicious samples to try.

Simply an excellent tour! Our guide, Jerry Weissman, was superb! Funny, informative, thorough, and just a delight throughout the tour. Good food and interesting history of a magnificent Seattle landmark. Highly recommended! read more

This review is simply based off of Customer Service experience and not the tour. I booked this tour for our visit to Seattle and we were looking forward to it based on reviews. The day of the tour we show up early to the pick up spot as instructed, and we were never picked up. I called the customer service line to ask where was the driver and was told they canceled it due to no one else booking. When I booked the tour I was told it would be honored regardless if no others booked. It would be a private tour. I was also told they emailed me a cancellation but this was not true, I had no email in my inbox or spam folder. It would have been more professional to receive a direct phone call so we could make other plans, also to be refunded immediately. Still waiting on refund.. read more

Loved this tour. We've been to Seattle several times but this is our first tour through Pikes place and we learned about so many places. Dani was our tour guide and she did a great job with showing us around and giving us expert tips. Highly recommended! read more

As a first timer to Seattle or to any city for this matter, we like to start with a tour of the city first. We ordered our morning tour from the Trip advisor with a guaranteed pickup at the hotel. So to our surprise we were contacted and rescheduled for the afternoon same day. The reason is - it was only five of us from max 14 participants on the minibus. Dave was on time and after picking up another group we were on the way. Dave was extremely knowledgeable about history of Seattle, and one particularly subject of the salmon. Also 3 stops with the ability of the picture taking was a bonus. Dave provided water & the snacks on the bus with a nice touch of cured salmon at the Fisherman Port stop. read more

Even though it has been our 6th time in Seattle we've never taken the time and opportunity to discover Pike Place Market. This tour with Lucky was entertaining, and delicious and taught us much about Pike Place Market, its history, and food. Since we took the Early Bird Tour the market was not as crowded as usual and we could enjoy our food samples. Lucky is such a great and unique guide and a nice person. Thanks for this cool tous, Lucky. read more
