Review of Seattle’s Meet the Market tour, with Pike Place food tastings, local stories, vendor discounts, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Just Ok. Hard to hear him. Didn't last 2 full hours. He continually mentioned "go back here, tell them you were on my tour, they know me and will give you a discount". OK, so I paid for you to run me past a bunch of booths, get me a sample at only a few of them, and to tell me to go back there to buy stuff and get a discount. hmmm.... not really a value in my opinion. And he admitted that we could not visit the cool places because we had a wheelchaired person so we couldn't go to them as they had stairs. HUH?”
