Taste Pike Place Market Tour in Seattle, WA

Leila was our incredibly witty, informative accommodating tour guide. We loved her clever delivery of historic facts that can be dry, but she kept them interesting and entertaining! Her description of brothels was a new one for us, Houses of Negotiable Affections”. 😜😊 She really gave us a wonderful tour and overview of Seattle. Can’t wait to return and spend more time here!

Don’t visit the Pike Market Place without Lucky Lane. 10 starts Lucky!!! very knowledgeable took his time and you did not feel rushed. The food tasting was very well rounded and challenged your pallet. The portions were more than enough so don’t eat before. The only down fall is we did not want to leave Lucky we wanted him for the rest of the day.!!!!

We took this tour prior to a cruise. One great thing was our cost included pick up at our hotel and pick up after cruise to airport. We had a very talkative driver who gave us alot of history . You need to take a side trip to the Pike Place Market also. It was well worth the money for just an overall taste of Seattle.

The best part of tour was “Show me Seattle” tour guide Lucky. His company is basically the taxi service taking you from Seattle Central to the Boeing complex and back. Lucky gives a lot of background to the city and some history and maybe too much of his personal history but he is a real nice guy. Boeing employees take over amalgamating groups walking through well lit tunnels , climbing stairs to access different parts of the worlds biggest building by volume. Tours walk single file high up along gantries looking down at a vast space almost as far as you can see of planes, machinery and ant like workers. No photography or bags etc. These are put in free lockers for picking up after your. It would have been nice if Boeing could somehow get us on ground level to appreciate the size of what we’re seeing without compromising their secrets. The Future of Flight had so much information and activities to absorb that there was not enough time as our Tour bus had to depart. They have 1700 people a day going through this factory. So the choice is do you drive yourself there to Everett and save $100 or go with your bus? Either way you’ll still be joining a big group supervised by a Boeing guide.

Nice tour and learned about Seattle from a local. Not a lot of time to shop but we went back the following day to Pioneer square to do some shopping and eating.
