Overview

Pike Place Market has had a long and scandalous history that includes brothels, coffee shops, Chief Seattle, and mischievous ghosts. Come join me to hear the market's stories, and explore the market.

Pike Place Market is the heart of Seattle. The market is nine acres packed with local farmers, artists, wineries, buskers, specialty businesses and fish being thrown. I have extensive experience being a market tour guide and I am a retired chef. My goal is to get my guests familiar with the market layout, vendors, foods and history.

The Pike Place Market's Scandalous History Tour is stellar but the real "Star" was our guide Carolyn. Knowledgable, fun and patient she made the past come alive for us. A fun date.

This was such a fun time! Lasts about an hour and is full of the history of Seattle and the Fish Market. Carolyn was very entertaining and gracious. She had all the historic knowledge and knew so many dark secrets of the city. Definitely check it out.

Excellent tour ! Carolyn was very knowledgeable and presented information in an interesting way. She packed in a lot of information in a short time but made it fun and casual. We really enjoyed the tour and recommend it highly.
