Food tastings were great!...

Food tastings were great! The early tour was less crowded so it was easy to get around and see things as we walked. A little too much history sharing of the market for me but the tastings were worth it!

A fun and informative...

A fun and informative tour! I liked the easiness of it and thought I got great insights to the market area. Most samples were yummy and the guide carefully made sure everyone was ok with dietary restrictions.

So great!

Lucky was great at orienting us to the market and giving us the best little samples. He was knowledgeable, personable and timely. 20/10 recommend.

Wonderful (& yummy) tour!

This tour was WELL worth the time and money! It was a great way to experience an otherwise crowded and confusing market. Woody was an amazing guide- he was kind, funny, and full of recommendations & knowledge. All the bites along the way were delicious! You will not leave hungry! I cannot recommend this tour enough; I would easily do this again if I were in Seattle.

Good bites

We had a great time with our tour guide, Woody. He incorporated Seattle architectural history with history of the city and its food scene, which we appreciated. We also liked that the tour was split between savory and sweet foods.
