Pike Place Market: Insider's Breakfast Tour - Gratuity Included!
Description
Pike Place Market at 8 am is a different market. The vendors are unhurried, the crowds haven't arrived, and the people who've worked here for years have time to chat with you one on one. This is the insider's version, a morning food tour led by professional storytellers with deep roots in the market community. You'll chat with a fishmonger who's spent years at Pike Place Market, taste two smoked salmons, and watch the legendary fish toss up close. You'll savor a fresh mini-donut straight off the Daily Dozen donut robot and experience the market the way locals do: early, unhurried, and real. Three things we do that nobody else does: - Guide Guarantee. Love your guide or your next tour is on us. - Tips included. Gratuity is built into your ticket. - Professional storytellers. Our guides aren't just enthusiastic locals. They're trained professionals who earn All-Star status annually through continual education, rigorous training, and 5-star review achievement.

Unfortunately the tour was cancelled due to low attendance but we were given a full refund and ample notice along with several options for other time slots. None fit our schedule so we will definitely try again. Wouldn’t hesitate to book with this company again.

It’s wonderful to hear that the tastings and vendor partners stood out as highlights of your experience. Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to share your kind words!
It was fabulous! Fish throwing and doughnuts were a huge hit. We bought doughnuts to go they were so good.
We’re so happy to hear you had a fabulous time! The flying fish and fresh mini doughnuts are two Pike Place Market classics, and it sounds like the doughnuts were a real winner if you took some home for later! Thanks for joining us and for sharing your experience—we’re thrilled you enjoyed some of the Market’s most iconic traditions and tastings.
Sky Bridges was an excellent guide. His passion for Pike Place and its people and history was evident. We enjoyed his stores and sharing of personal experiences. The food was amazing, we wnt back to several stops to patronize them again. Thank you Sky!
Thank you for the 5-star review! We’re thrilled you had such a great time with Sky—his passion for Pike Place really shines through. So glad you enjoyed the stories and that the tastings inspired you to go back and support the vendors—that’s the best compliment! We’ll be sure to pass along your thanks to him. Hope to see you again soon!
Kacey was warm and hospitable and able to address anything about Pike Place and Seattle tour tips. She personalized the tour which made us want to go back to many of the shops
Thank you so much for the great review—and yes, Pike Place Market all the way 😉 We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with Kacey. She really shines at making the experience feel personal, sharing local tips, and helping guests connect with the Market beyond the tour itself. It’s wonderful to hear she inspired you to return to so many of the shops—that’s exactly what we hope for. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to see you back at the Market soon!
I had low expectations for the tour but instead my husband and I were blown away. Our tour leader, Tessa, was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable about the market, and funny too! We felt like real insiders going into different locations and sampling the best of what they had to offer. We had requested vegetarian options and they were very accommodating to that. There was a wide variety of things we tasted and we surely felt fulfilled when the tour was over. Don’t miss this one!
Gail, we’re so glad you and your husband had such a great experience. It’s wonderful that Tessa’s warmth and Market knowledge made the tour feel fun and full of insider moments, and we’re happy the vegetarian tastings worked so well for you. Thank you for the lovely recommendation, we’d love to welcome you both back again soon! – The Savor Food Tours Team
Very involved and extensive so yes, very good experience; fee was very reasonable; the tour guide was excellent and her knowledge was very good. The various food samples were all quite good. So the tour exceeded my expectations. The favorite part of the tour was the guide's knowledge.
Gary, we’re so happy to hear you had such a great experience on your Seattle food tour. It’s wonderful that the tastings, Market history, and your guide’s knowledge all came together to exceed your expectations. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another culinary adventure soon!
Kacey was a great guide who introduced us to the history, people and food of Pike Market. What a place! What food! And doing a breakfast tour was definitely the right option as Pike Place was becoming crazy busy by the time that we finished, stuffed to the gills with information and delicacies.
Serena, we love hearing this! We’re so glad you enjoyed your breakfast tour of Pike Place Market with Kacey and that the mix of history, people, and delicious food made it such a memorable Seattle culinary experience. Ending the tour full of great stories and tastings sounds just perfect. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another food adventure soon.
Had such a fantastic breakfast food tour with Kacey! I loved the variety, the fun facts, and, of course, the delicious food. I was impressed with Kacey’s extensive food knowledge and experience as a long-term resident who is well known in Pike Place Market. The extra 10% discount coupon at the end was such a nice bonus to use with several vendors.
Lori, your review made us smile! We’re delighted you had such a fantastic time on the Breakfast Tour with Kacey. Her deep knowledge of food and her long-standing ties to the market community bring so much to the experience, and we’re thrilled you enjoyed the variety of tastings and fun facts along the way. It’s wonderful to know the vendor discount added a little extra flavor to your day. Thank you for joining us — we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Our guide Judson was insightful, funny, and skilled at keeping a large party together. His knowledge of Seattle's vendors and history along with the various food and beverage stops made this activity a favored event for the team. Christiana assisted with the planning and coordination of the event, so from development to a farewell coupon, each step was an easy process. Staff members returned to the stops the next day and one has since taken advantage of shipping option from a producer. A great experience for every dietary restriction. We'd follow the pink umbrella again!
JVA, your kind words truly made our day! We’re delighted Judson kept your group engaged while sharing his passion for Seattle’s Pike Place Market, and we’re equally happy Christiana made the coordination smooth behind the scenes. It’s so special that your team not only enjoyed the tastings but also kept supporting the market afterward. That connection to local vendors is exactly what we hope to inspire on our Seattle food tours. Thank you for trusting us with your event, we’d love to host you again anytime!
