Fantastic tour with Chef Sean! - Chef Sean gave us a great food tour of Pike Place Market that we would not have found on our own. I’ve done two previous food tours at Pike Place Market with different guides and this one was the best. Can’t wait to do it again. Thank you, Chef!

Loved our tour! - We had dear Scott as our tour guide. He gave us a fantastic food history lesson with our tour. We loved everything about our tour from start to finish. My only feedback is to give the poor man a mic. His voice was battling with car horns and the market crowd to reach our ears.

2 hours well spent - Chef Sean loves what he does and the people in the Pike Place Market and he conveys that. Food samples were great and nothing I would have ever picked, my daughter is the pickiest, and she tried all of them.

Amazing guide!! - Johnathon, our guide, was fantastic!!! Terrific communicator, knowledgeable, personable, funny; he really made people feel comfortable. There were quite a few stops on the tour. Taste is so personal, so for me, if there were ten stops on this tour, I either liked or loved seven of the ten stops. Great way to spend a morning learning about the market. The restaurant list and discounts provided after the tour were awesome! Thank you.

Loved it! - **Review:** I had an incredible food tour! The tour guide, Jonathan, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about local cuisine. He took us to a variety of hidden gems that I would never have found on my own. The food was delicious and authentic, and I learned so much about the history and culture of the city through the food we tasted. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle who wants to experience the true flavor of the city because I have definitely acquired new favorites.
