Will personalized this tour to us and really made our experience one of a kind - Probably the highlight of the tour was the Seleusse chocolate tasting. However, every experience was unique, interesting and delightful. Will was fun and kept us engaged the whole time. He cared about our experience and helped with suggestions that we will try next. Thank you so much

A great”taste” of Seattle - Will was informative, laid back and a lot of fun to be with. The drinks and food were all delicious, especially the lobster rolls at The Market. Food tours are always a great way to start to get a “taste” of the city!

Great and yummy tour! - This was a great experience since it was my first time visiting Seattle and I truly enjoyed exploring the local food spots and crafty cocktails and got to meet some cool people at the same time! I came back to one location afterwards since I loved it! I’d recommend this experience especially if you’re traveling and exploring solo and need an insider scoop :)

Mostly great experience - The guides were very friendly and very helpful. The first and third stops were extremely good, both food and drinks. We really enjoyed the time. Our only complaint is the second stop was way too hot, like a sauna, with no AC. Hard to enjoy the food or drinks. The guides also said that wasn't normal. Great gluten-free options. Overall, we would do it again, just double checking that all the stops were air conditioned.

Delish! - The cocktails and appetizers at two of the restaurants (Mar Ket & Zig Zag) were excellent. The offerings at the Rabbit Box were OK. Will and Jade were terrific!
