This walking food tour in Seattle lasts about 2 hours and is led by a chef guide. The group size is limited to 12 people to make it easier to move through Pike Place Market, enjoy more tastings, and have chances to ask questions. The tour visits nine different vendor stops, where participants sample a variety of foods such as chocolate covered cherries, chowder, and other local specialties. After the tour, guests receive a 10% discount card to use at the market. The tour starts outside Simply Seattle at 1600 First Ave, near the corner of First Ave and Pine Street. It is important to arrive on time as the tour departs promptly and late arrivals cannot be accommodated. Parking is not included, but there are several garages and street parking options nearby, with free parking on Sundays. The route covers several market highlights, including a stop at an award-winning chowder vendor where guests skip the line for a cup of chowder, a visit to Market Spice, Seattle’s oldest spice store, and a look at the produce sources used by the chefs. Some tours include additional stops such as tacos made with heirloom corn tortillas, chocolate covered cherries, truffle bites, an onsite cheese maker offering samples including creamy mac and cheese, and a bean-to-bar chocolate factory with warm cookie tastings. Participants will walk and stand over cobblestone paths, small hills, and stairs, so a moderate level of fitness is needed. The tour operates in all weather conditions, and guests should dress accordingly.
