| The tour was an overview and history of the market as well as specific suggestions about places to get all sorts of food. Our tour leader seemed to know many of the vendors at the market which made it a very personalized tour. We got a variety of food samples including crumpets, boutique salami, truffle cream, clam chowder and much, much more. We were pleasantly full when it was over, and felt we had had a lovely 2 1/2 hours. |

| The tour was the first thing I looked forward to when I got to Seattle. You would never think walking into Pike market that you would stop by any of the place that the tour led us to. The food was amazing and just enough for you to be satisfied. My friends and I bought a couple new interesting thing to bring back home and try. The truffle tasting was the best! We had a fun group and our tour guide Penny, she topped it off. She knew her stuff and a her food. Overall, it was a memorable experience. I would do it again. Don't forget to tip your tour guide, they deserve it. |

| Steve served as our guide of the Pike's Place Market area and we were treated to an explanation and pictures of the history of both the Market area and Seattle in general. We enjoyed all of the food tastings and also hearing about the various owners of the shops that we visited. The food was super (and filling), but it was Steve who made the tour a particular treat. |

| My 3 friends and I had a wonderful time on the Pike's Place Food Tour. Penny was an awesome guide. She was so enthusiastic and very enjoyable to be around. She was also full of information and you could tell she had great relationships with the vendors whose businesses we visited. The sample's were delicious. One of my friends had the suggestion of having the dessert samples later after the other samples. Also, one suggestion @ The Crumpet Shop would be to ask people on the tour if they would prefer their crumpet's w/o honey. Other than that the tour is highly recommended. Penny was the best!!! |

| I thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Even though there was a slight snafu with the tour guide being sick and the crumpet shop being closed, the professionalism of the owner, Michael, shined through and provided us with a fantastic tour. One can tell that he loves food and loves to show people all about why he loves it. He clearly has taken the time and effort to seek out the best places in the market and he is not afraid to share why. I only wish that we had more time to explore, but our vacation time was limited. We will be back and if there is another tour, we will happily take it. |

| The guide was excellent and provided an entertaining overview of the history and merchants of the Market. Favourite merchants we visited: Tea Shop: pleasant and interesting, Fish Shop: vibrant, friendly and great salmon jerky! Italian groceries: the cheese and rosemary salami were excellent, Italian Truffle Speciality Shop: informative,
The Dried Fruit Stall: very friendly and excellent quality goods.
Overall, a nice introduction to the Market for someone who has never been there before. |

| We had a really great time on this tour. Steve was our guide and gave us a quick overview of the market. The food we sampled was delicious. All four in our group had a great time. Would tell anyone that is was worth while. |
