Seattle Gourmet Food and History Tour

The one and only tour of Seattle you'll ever need - in just 45 minutes! Explore the city's rich history, stopping by world-famous attractions and some hidden gems. We'll stretch our legs, do some food shopping in Pike Place Market - and build some uniquely Seattle snacks that showcase local cuisine and history!
Guests love this tour because...
1) We keep our group size small
2) We have folks in and out in 45 minutes
3) We eat awesome food you won't stumble across on your own
4) Our guides love sharing local recommendations! Want to know where to get sushi? Where to grab a drink? How to get from A to B? We got you.

My goal is that at the end of the tour you will not only see some beautiful sites, but also understand how all that history shaped Seattle into the city it is today. This is the most fun "lunch & learn" you've ever attended!

Seattle Waterfront

Seattle, Washington

Puget Sound is Seattle's defining feature. We'll make sure to get a great look at the second-largest estuary in the United States, home to lots of boat traffic and marine life! We'll learn about the very first people to call Puget Sound home and get oriented to the surrounding area.

10 minutes

Pike Place Market

85 Pike St, Seattle, 98101, Washington

We spend some quality time in the Market and get to work! We'll food shop at some of our favorite vendors, then build a couple of PNW snacks that showcase local products and the history of the region. Bonus points for creativity! This is one of our guests' favorite parts of the tour.
