Experience Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market in the most unique way possible, by letting our local guides delight you with a fusion of Pacific Northwest staples and immigrant-inspired cuisine.

On this tour, you’ll get to know the history behind the market and the citizens who have helped preserve its character to this day. You’ll get to meet the locals, perhaps spot some flying fish, and pass by two renown attractions: the notorious Gum Wall and the original Starbucks!

You’ll also get to enjoy local eats from hearty fish stew to fresh local cheeses and fruits. We’ll combine these local foods with cuisine inspired by immigrants who have brought their own style, ingredients, and stories to Seattle over the past century and a half.

Maybe you’ll try a savory stuffed pastry, indulge in a cinnamon-coated cookie, or enjoy the perfect pairing of a locally roasted coffee and a decadent yogurt. While you eat, you’ll be even happier knowing you’re supporting the market with your ticket price!
