The Experience

What makes this different from wandering Pike Place on your own is that someone who knows the Market picks the stops and the timing holds. You'll taste traditional family recipes and a chewy confection, then move to a Danish bakery hidden inside the Market for fresh bread with avocado. The guide walks you through the Market's history and points out its most famous attractions as you go, so you're not just eating—you're learning how the place works.

Five tastings across 90 minutes means you come hungry but not starving. You'll try fusion flavors from one of Seattle's best chefs, taste gourmet items from a specialty shop in the heart of the Market, then head to the Seattle Waterfront to walk the newest addition to the waterfront with 360-degree views of the city, Elliott Bay, and the Olympic Mountains. The guide explains Seattle's original coastline and how the city became the premier city in the Pacific Northwest. Back at Pike Place, you'll eat slow-cooked vegetables on an heirloom corn tortilla with your choice of hot or mild molcajete salsa, then finish with fresh jams, pickles, and peppers from the Market, fresh in-season fruits and vegetables sourced from Washington State, and house-made gelato or sorbet.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, and public transportation options are available nearby if you're not driving. Infants and small children can ride in a stroller, and service animals are allowed.
