About This Tour in Seattle

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.
