The chef guide was fairly entertaining although he made some mistakes about Washington state (no it is not entirely covered by mountains other than the "20 mile wide" Yakima valley, and no Seattle doesn't have a week of 100 degree temps every year). Best was the Truffle Queen and gelato, also a good taco but all too little info from most of the food places. If you are bored or a foodie maybe worthwhile.

Our host Jonathan was great. He was funny, and informative and was a dead ringer for Q of the Impractical Jokers. He showed us places in the Market that we had not seen before and was very efficient getting us bites of food available. I have been on a couple of food tours previously (Iceland, Vancouver). This tour was shorter, had fewer unique offerings, and was less expensive than those other tours. Overall, a good tour but I would have paid more in both time and money for a sit-down experience that showcased the food that was special to Pikes Market and the Seattle area.

The Pike Place Food Tour exceeded expectations! Scott, our guide, was not only knowledgeable but also hilarious, weaving in fun anecdotes and historical tidbits. He expertly navigated us through the market, ensuring we saw all the highlights. Plus, he was incredibly accommodating, ensuring I had plenty of tasty vegetarian options to enjoy along the way. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend!

Sylas was not only well educated with regards to culinary knowledge but had a wonderful breadth of historical factoids. The way he infused this knowledge with the tour was wonderful and made it much more enjoyable. He was a joy to follow, listen to and converse with during this tour. 5 stars is not enough to express how happy I was to have made the decision to book this tour as a last minute adventure!!

The tour guide was entertaining and informative. Worth the ticket price. The length of the tour was manageable by older adults.

This tour is amazing! Chef Sylas was great at telling us both about the food and the history of Pikes Place. We loved every moment and stop and if we come back we will do another food walking tour with this company!

This tour was a great way to explore the market! We went to places that I would have never noticed and everything I had was delicious. I went on this tour with a picky eater and just about everything they had they liked. Chef Sean was knowledgeable and made sure we were all taken care of. I definitely recommend.
