Tour guide was self centered with very little appreciation for reading a crowd. He asked if it would be alright if he went over the allotted time and everyone agreed, anticipating seeing more. However it just turned into rambling stories or jokes that were not funny. The tour ended for my wife and I (and about half the group) when a person in a wheelchair fell on the sidewalk in front of our whole group. He just stood next to the man who was getting helped up back into his wheelchair) and repeating again and again the gentlemen’s cell phone is going to break. There are a lot of responses that a person can have in a situation like that and a person who acts like that is not fit for giving tours. Now let’s get to the food part of the tour- we went to the places that offered free samples (to the public) and came in with our large group and got our samples and left. Felt very unwelcome at some stops. NOTHING was behind the scenes, just a walk through the market and an ill fitted guide. He seemed stoned or just super burnt out. Waste of time and money.

Taste Pike Place Walking Food Tour was a fabulous way to hear the history of the market, learn about the business owners featured, and taste several samples of the variety of foods offered at the Market. Our tour guide, Sarah, had a lot of great stories to share and it was obvious that she loved Pike Place and all it represents. I would recommend this tour as a great intro to the Market. I can’t wait to go back and spend a little more time wandering through the market and enjoying all the fabulous things Sarah pointed out.

Sarah was a great guide through Pike Place and gave excellent recommendations to continue our visit in Seattle! The tour gave us a nice variety of food samples that showed off the city’s culture and environment.

We did a 4 hour private tour with Shawn during a layover in Seattle. He planned a great tour for us that included highlights of the city, a visit to the Space Needle, walking around the Public Market, pictures with the Troll, and seeing the locks. Overall it was a great tour and we learned a lot.

We had an excellent time Dani our guide was knowledgeable and a delightful personality I would recommend the food was very good

Matthew, the "Singing Driver", was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about Seattle, the sights, landmarks, and neighborhoods. And, he entertained us throughout the trip with a rendition of songs from his experiences with the theatre. Got to the airport on time!

Dani gave us a great overview of the Pike Place Market, with yummy samples & recommendations. An easy walking tour & 2 hours barely scratches the surface.

We were 4 people taking the Taste Pike Place Walking Food Tour, 2 of us were traveling from Montreal and 2 of us recently moved to Seattle. We were lucky enough to have Woody as our tour guide. He made it thoroughly enjoyable and also taught us so much about the history of Pike Place Market. What a fantastic place. The food samplings were great. When at the end of the tour Woody asked us all what was our favorite food, the reply in unison was everything. This is a wonderfully enjoyable tour and I would recommend it to everyone. Thanks Woody!

1. Our tour of Seattle with Show Me Seattle Tours was a mixed bag. The initial pickup was definitely a zero. The tour itself is about a four, so an average of two. 2. I booked the post-cruise tour online for 1 Sep 23 directly on the Show Me Seattle web page. The tour included an overall general tour of Seattle, plus we opted for the additions of the Pike Place Market and the Space Needle for additional cost. 3. The confirmation email said the meeting time for our pier would be 8:20a. The tour would then go to another pier for an 8:45a pickup, and the tour would start at 9:00a. The confirmation email said, “NOTE: Pick-up times subject to change – the reservations team will contact you with update.” 4. Of course, you never really know how long it will take to get off a cruise ship. Sometimes it’s 10 minutes. Sometimes it’s 90 minutes. You just never know. Our debarkation from Celebrity Solstice was pretty smooth, so we arrived at the meeting point at 7:45a, figuring we had about a 35-minute wait until the tour bus showed up. There were two others from another ship at the same pier location who got there about 15 mins before we did. There was no one from Show Me Seattle at the meeting point location. (For us, this was bus Lane R just outside the cruise terminal 91 building.) Rather there is another bus/transfer company who operates out of Lane R. The woman gruffly told us to stand about twenty feet away with the other two people. At 8:20a, there’s no bus. I call the office. The person says the port might be crowded, so it might take a bit for the bus to show up. Maybe 15 mins later, I got a text from the driver asking how many people were there. I said four. He replied there should be twelve passengers, so he has to wait. Four more people showed up about 10 mins later, then two more later, then two more another 15 mins later. (Btw, the last couple to show up said their confirmation email said to be at the meeting point at 8:45a). The bus finally arrived at the meeting point at about 9:00a. We’d been standing outside since 7:45a, so this is an hour and fifteen minutes. Imagine standing outside the terminal building for so long and knowing the terminal people don’t really care how badly you need to go to the bathroom. They just don’t want you back inside. And no benches at the meeting point, so we were standing this entire time. There was a snack shack nearby, but can you risk this not knowing when the bus will arrive, if ever? 5. After we loaded the bus, I tried to ask the driver (Jim) what happened on the meeting point times. He says the tour is supposed to start at 9:00a, and he was there right at 9:00a. If I’m unhappy, he’ll take me directly to the airport. He said the fact that we were told be at the meeting point at 8:20a was not his business. 6. The actual tour of Seattle was very good. The only negative was our time at the top of the Space Needle was cut to about 15-20 mins because of traffic and long line at the entry point, plus there were people on this part of the tour that needed to be at Sea-Tac by 4:00p which is still 15 mins beyond the Show Me Seattle advertised Sea-Tac drop-off time of 3:45p. Otherwise, the tour guide was energetic and very knowledgeable about Seattle. 7. In summary, if you want a very good tour of Seattle and don’t mind be treated without any regard to your own time, this is might be a good option for you. If you want a very good tour of Seattle and want to be treated like a valued customer, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Sarah is a great tour guide bringing lots of enthusiasm and knowledge. She shared local information as well as information about Washington state.

Lucky did a great job of explaining the history of the Market. All the samples were great. Easy walk. Overall great experience. 5 Star

KC was our guide around Pike Place Market and could not have been any more helpful and informative. After being let down by the vague address to start the tour KC called us and helped this confused Englishman find the start of the tour. Even though we did the tour in a busy Saturday morning KC was able to keep the whole group together and fought the crowds to get us samples from vendors. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and was so much better than us just wandering around the market. I would thoroughly recommend to visitors coming to Seattle.

Great tour, covering so much of the market. We really enjoyed the tour by Casey! She was energetic and patiently got us through the crowds. Casey was a fun storyteller with so much interesting information about the market. We would have been lost wandering the large market, but the tour allowed us to see the high points and taste lots of delicious food.

This tour of Pike Place Market was fantastic! Our tour guide was Imogen, who was animated, fun, and full of knowledge about the history of the market. And the food samples were amazing! Highly recommended this tour for any visitors to Seattle!

The tour was well organized and so much fun! Really tasty food samplings, interesting history and stories. Our tour guide, Sarah, was friendly, very knowledgeable, and funny. I have lived in Seattle for over 10 years, but learned a lot about the history of Pike Place Market and really enjoyed the tour. I definitely recommend going with an empty stomach so you can enjoy all the food samples, which are good sizes!
