Very good tour to try out different things you may never try. Will was a great and funny chef that was our tour guide.
Show up hungry! The food is amazing and we enjoyed all of the information that Syras had to share about the market.
Sirius (?) was beyond amazing. Despite weather, he made experience memorable for my Wife and I. We are foodies and he was all over it. Wish we could give him a higher rating than the max. Tour is a must do.
Our guide was amazing, which made the experience as wonderful as it was!!!!!
Incredible experience! Chef Will was amazing- enthusiastic, knowledgable, fun. Knows his stuff, loves his town. He curated the best food stops. Would recommend this tour all day everyday.
This tour was informative and fun, with our Chef/Guide doping a great job. My one concern going in was we did it at lunch time and would a few bites be enough for a lunch? YES, the amount of food you get is enough to be a light to moderate lunch for sure. There's a nice variety of things with a number of savory a few sweet items. It also gives a nice behind the scenes of a some of the Market's places.
Very fun afternoon! Our guide, RobBob was amazing , accommodating and inclusive of everyone, form my 12 year old niece to my 80 year old mother!
Chef Rob Bob gave a great tour of the market. We really enjoyed the stories and history behind the market. It was interesting with humor. The food sampled was delicious.
Robert was so knowledgeable! The 2 hour tour went by in a flash. I especially liked the history of each eatery.
Noah was our guide and he was fantastic! He was very informative but also lots of fun. My family and I learned lots of interesting things about Seattle and the Farmers market and the food was delicious. This food tour was definitely worth it!!
