5+ stars all the way. This is a must do tour of Pikes Place. We had the pleasure of Lucky being our tour guide and he awesome!!!! He was extremely personable and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the various samples through the market and hearing about the different vendors and history of it. Oh I even text Lucky after the tour asking him for location of something we were wanting to see and he promptly text back with info and directions.

The food, the people, the guide were all fabulous. The early access is the way to go. Best way to get a feel for the market before it gets to crowded. Then you can go back and hit the places that caught your eye.

Great guide - a real historian. Knew everything about the history of Pikes Place and very considerate of and friendly with the vendors. Two vendors seemed to take exception to our presence but Lucky went out of his way making sure we were not causing issues for the vendors.

I loved Lucky’s knowledge of the entire special place of Pike Place Market. I work in a supermarket on the East Coast and we sell Ellenos yogurt. It was very spring to see the home of Ellanos and it’s great. The recommendations for raw shellfish and Truffle Queen were excellent.

The most memorable part of the tour might have been the secret, so to speak, garden; otherwise I learned only slightly more than if I had toured on my own. The guide aggressively asked for tips four times which was out of line.

Great tour of Pike Place Market! We hit a variety of spots for tastings and all were very good! I was a little sad we didn't get to hit Beechers for a taste of mac N cheese or Daily Doughnuts for a mini maple bacon since I had heard so much about these two places but it wasn't a deal breaker. They were easy enough to get to on your own. Our tour guide Lucky was very friendly and informative and kept us going at a great pace. The 9:00 start time was great - you're just starting to see the Market come to life and all the vendors are fresh for a new day. Not sure little kiddies would like it but older kids might and it's not too long - 90 min to two hours tops! Highly reccommend!

No better way to explore Pike Place!
Tamala_N
, Mar. 2022
We had a wonderful time on the tour. Pike Place is so large that there's no way we'd have been able to orient ourselves. Our guide was fun and engaging. We learned a lot about Seattle and the surrounding areas, in addition to learning the history of this world-famous market. We had a great group and were able to sample food as varied as tacos, pastries, smoked salmon, and chocolate. Best of all, when the tour was over, we knew which stores and restaurants we wanted to return to to spend more time. Second best of all, we were with our 13 and 10 year old, and they loved the tour as much as the grown ups. A huge win!
