I've got the inside scoop on the unique history and incredible stories that I'm so excited to share! You'll also get to hear about and from the local makers and artists whose booths fill the market. • I’ll take you to all the spots where buskers bring art to life, with incredible performers that do everything from playing upright pianos to juggling knives while spinning hoops. Don’t forget to bring some dollar bills if you'd like to tip this world class talent! • After sampling snacks from some of my favorite vendors, we’ll wrap up our tour at the stunning new rooftop garden, which has breathtaking views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.

Chef Tour of Pike Place Market

We will take you on a culinary tasting adventure of Pike Place Market. We will be stopping at 9 different artisanal vendors; learning about local production and tasting your way through the flavors of the Northwest. Other things to note: The tour takes place rain or shine. Please email if you have dietary restrictions. Not all of our routes stop at the same places in Pike Place! We do book private tours for 9-16 people. Please direct message us to learn more. Gratuity is not included in the price. Our team also conducts a, more off the beaten path, tour on Fridays and Saturdays of South Lake Union. There are small bites over many stops and limited places to sit down. This experience requires a medium physical fitness level due to hills, stairs and uneven terrain. We do cover some distance and the market is crowded during the Summer. If you have to drive and park please leave a lot of extra time in the high season. The lots do fill up. Lastly, due to our tight schedule and wanting to show you as much of the market during a short time, we don't have time to shop during the tour. We encourage you to come back after the tour with your discount card to make purchases.
