Will is an amazing guide! We enjoyed the best vegan food in Pike Place Market, and he shared fascinating insights about both the market’s and the city’s history. He also gave us excellent tips for the rest of our trip. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved this tour. Ivy, our tour guide, was amazing, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and answered lots of questions we had. Would highly recommend, you don’t need to be vegan to appreciate it. All the foods were super tasty and decent portion sizes. And it definitely gives you a good overview of Pike Market. Turkish Delight was my favourite stop. It’s an unassuming restaurant on a corner of a street. A family run business with the tastiest lentil soup I have ever eaten, so much so that we went back and bought some to take back to our apartment. Also tried their homemade Turkish delight. If like me, you’ve never been a fan of it, you should still try it cause it might change your mind. The mango flavour was delicious.

Great selection of sweet and savoury. Start with a very empty tummy. Also a great tour of the market too

This was a wonderful tour of vegan options at Pike Market. Jade was a superb tour guide. She taught us about the market and showed us multiple places to find vegan food and treats. I have been to Pike Market many times but only to one of the places she took us which was amazing. The food was tasty. After the tour we were able to go back and shop and get discounts when we mentioned Jade’s name. I highly recommend this tour and any other tour Jade offers.

This is my 3rd time in Seattle and 3rd time doing a tour in Pike Place. Each tour company is different but I 100% recommend Sum Good Tours cause they take you to places the other tour companies don’t!! Thank you Sam and Will for a fun afternoon! Highly recommend
Callum_D, Oct 2024
We had a great afternoon tasting all the delicious plant-based treats at Pike Place. Our tour guide Will was very knowledgeable about the market’s history and local produce. We left feeling very full, so make sure to not eat very much before the tour!
Lea_N, Oct 2024
I am not a vegan and I enjoyed this tour so much, not only the food was amazing but the tour guide WILL (my favorite tour guide so far...he was our tour guide the night before for craft cocktail tour) WILL is very friendly, nice and knowledgeable of the ingredients and Pike's Market history. I loved the lentil soup from Turkish delight, the cauliflower and rice from the Market restaurant was so delish as well. When Will ask me what's my favorite about this tour I told him EVERYTHING!!!!! What a way to end my trip. I will highly recommend!!!!!!
Thank you WILL for an amazing 2 days food tour <3

My husband & I, our son and his fiancé went on this plant based tour of Pike Place Market. We all really enjoyed it!
Our tour guide was Jade. She was amazing. We learned a lot about the history of Pike Place Market and ate a lot of really great food.
Before going on the tour I worried that we'd just be having small samples everywhere we went, but that was not the case! Some of the stops were just samples, but many of them were full menu items. In fact, everyone on the tour we went on actually ended up taking home leftovers.
The tour was great. I highly recommend it.
(PS. You don't have to have a plant based lifestyle to enjoy it. More than half of our tour were not plant passed eaters.)
Karen_R, Sep 2024
This was a top recommendation from a friend and said it was the favorite part of her week trip to Seattle. She was absolutely right! The food was amazing and if you weren’t vegan you would not know the difference. Ivy was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable of Pikes Place which made it even better! We returned every day and came back for more of the food and fun! Thanks Ivy for a memorable day!
Susan_L, Sep 2024
There was so much food! We were impressed with the variety and excellence of the food on our vegan tour. Our guide, Jade, was knowledgeable about the market and that enhanced our enjoyment of the experience. We learned a lot, ate too much, and had a really fun day.
Donya_S, Sep 2024
Jade is an excellent tour guide! She's very engaging and knowledgeable about the foods and businesses she introduces us to. It's my second tour with her, and I hope to have her as my tour guide every time I book the vegan tour.
Tracy_D, Aug 2024
Amazing tour for a vegan and omnivore! Every stop was delicious and gave us a great sampling of vegan items around Pike Place Market. Highly recommended tour! Jade, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, on time, and had great communication. Well done!!

The food was amazing, especially the lentil soup, but the guides were the highlight
Also…come hungry!
mara_t, Aug 2024
Will was a great guide! We learned a lot about the history of the market, sampled an exquisite variety of vegan foods, and met some great people. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s a nice way to get an insight of the area from a native .
Carol_T, Jun 2024
Our tour guide, Will was amazing and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend him. Definitely full when the tour was over. Food was yummy.

Loved walking around trying delicious vegan food! My favorite was the lentil soup from Turkish Delight but everything we had was enjoyable! Jade was super informed all of the pike place food and history. Really enjoyed this!
Trisha_A, Feb 2024
Loved this tour! Our guide, Ivy, was fantastic! We learned a lot about Pikes Place Market and it's history. We also went to less touristy shops, which I would have never known about. The food was delicious! Even my husband who is a meat eater liked it
Michael_G, Jan 2024
Amazing! Jade made our experience at the Pike Place Market memorable! She is friendly, knowledgable of the food and the history of the Pike Place Market and the vendors/surrounding restaurants. My wife and I highly recommend you start your Seattle Pike Place Market visit with Jade.
Donya_S, Nov 2023
Jade was an awesome tour guide! She has a great personality, was knowledgeable, and came with food to try right from the start. The food choices were excellent and incredibly delicious! I also really enjoyed the people in my group. They were fun and friendly. I would love to do this tour again with Jade in the future.
Erin_E, Nov 2023
The food was delicious and after living in Seattle for almost 20 years I learned things I had never learned before about the Market. It was a great experience!
shivakumarsmitha766, Oct 2023
Great walking tour of the Pike Place Market. Got to learn a lot about the history, market foundation, the different varieties of shops, the taxation, the fee needed to be Paid by each shop. We also got to taste good bits of food. However, for the 2.5hour walking tour costing the amount they charge, I would have thought we would get more food .. like a whole pie from piroshky piroshki instead of a bite sized square .. because at the end of the tour all of us were still super hungry.. I suggest whoever is taking the tour to eat and come for this snacking tour
Response from Host, Nov 2023
