Tour Details:
Join us for Seattle’s original food and cultural tour of Pike Place Market! On our signature food tour, we’ll take you on a journey through the lively and bustling days in the heart of Seattle: Pike Place Market. While our guides give you the most delicious tastings we could find at EIGHT different partners, you’ll also learn the history of the market and hear the stories of the small-batch food and craft producers that make this place one of Seattle’s most beloved landmarks.
Find out why fish fly, why a pig is our mascot, how the “Original” Starbucks was founded, how an alleyway became covered in gum, what made the market one of Anthony Bourdain’s favorite places, and many more pieces of info we’ll be thrilled to share with you while you savor our favorite culinary offerings. Once you’re done, you’ll be equipped and ready to dive deeper into the neighborhood.
