Oldest Starbucks? Gum Wall? Original Skid Roe? Pioneer Square? What's the deal with the purple glass? Discover the story of Seattle, it's history, it's people, it's story. Go at your own pace, anytime. Our tour will take you through the bustling Pike Place Market where fishmongers still throw salmon through the air, wind down the steep streets where Seattle's downtown meets Elliott Bay, pass the exact spot where the Great Fire of 1889 started from an overturned glue pot, and end at the magnificent King Street Station where gold prospectors once arrived with dreams of striking it rich. You will hear stories about how Seattle literally raised itself up by one story after the devastating fire, and discover why one street was called Skid Road long before it became a term for down-and-out neighborhoods.

Join Seattle’s most acclaimed singing historian and frontman for The Staxx Brothers on a one-of-a-kind tour of Pike Place Market. For the price of a local show, spend 90 minutes plus an encore with Davin Michael Stedman. In a small group, visitors can now explore and experience the Market like never before. This is the only historic tour that culminates with an unplugged concert at the very same iconic busking locations where greats like Brandi Carlile made music history in the pages of Rolling Stone. Davin’s busker concert is a choose-your-own-adventure experience as he offers you a chance to pick from a catalog of dozens of hit songs made famous by some of Seattle’s most iconic artists, covering the last 100 years. But of course, he will be happy to sing favorites from around the world and from his own acclaimed albums.

Most visitors will walk Seattle's waterfront and see a nice view. This tour shows you what's actually behind it. From Pioneer Square — where the city literally started — along the newly rebuilt waterfront to the ferry terminal, we connect the dots between Seattle's past and the city you see today. Join with a local guide as they share the stories these streets don't tell on their own. You'll learn why the city burned down and rebuilt itself in a year, how the waterfront went from industrial grit to public park, and what makes Seattle's relationship with the water unlike any other city in the country. Small groups, big stories, and a walk you'll remember long after you leave. Please let us know ahead of time about any mobility restrictions. The tour includes roughly 1.5 miles of walking.
