About this activity

Pike Place Market is one of the oldest and most storied food markets in the US, and this tour takes you through it the right way. Your local guide knows the stalls, the vendors, and the stories behind them, leading you past the crowds and into the parts of the market most visitors never find.

Along the way, you'll taste what makes this place worth the trip: iconic clam chowder, local sweets, and a Secret Dish revealed only on the day. You'll meet the producers behind the food, hear how they work, and understand why this market has been feeding Seattle since 1907.

The tour also takes you downstairs into the Downunder, a quieter stretch beneath the main market floor where the daily rhythm of local life and the traditions of North Pacific fishermen have played out for generations.
