Pike Place Market Food Tour: 9 Tastings with a Working ChefA two-hour guided food tour through Pike Place Market in Seattle where you taste from nine local artisan vendors, led by a working chef with insider knowledge of the market. The route adjusts based on the guide's choice and the season, so each tour is different. Arrive 10 minutes early at 1600 First Ave (First and Pine); the tour leaves on time and cannot catch up stragglers. Dietary considerations can be noted before the tour date.Is it for me?Start at First and Pine on the street itself, so you don't need a car or a hotel in a specific neighborhood — public transit gets you there, and the guide meets you outside Simply Seattle. The two-hour window and fixed route mean you taste through the market's best without spending the afternoon figuring out where to go or standing in lines.
Pike Place Market Tour: Seattle Music History Singing GuideThis is a guided historic tour of Pike Place Market in Seattle led by Davin Stedman, a singing historian and frontman for The Staxx Brothers, who combines market stories with live music at iconic busking locations. The 90-minute experience includes an unplugged concert where you choose from dozens of songs spanning a century of Seattle's music history. Small groups explore the market with a guide who is also a celebrated author, radio host and Market columnist, and the tour ends at the same spots where artists like Brandi Carlile made music history.Is it for me?Book this if you want a small group experience where the guide is also the performer—the concert is not a separate event tacked on, but the natural end of the market stories, and you choose what gets sung.

Rainier, the Space Needle, Cascade Mountains, and the entire city layout. A digital tour tool lets you mark favorite spots and plan your next move while you're standing there.
