This trip was one of the highlights of our long weekend in Seattle. It was everything that was advertised. Nick, our knowledgeable guide, led us through 8 different tasting events. We were a small group of 8 and I know my wife and I really enjoyed the walking, eating drinking and talking that went on. Each of the venues we visited put on a good presentation for us and we learned a lot about the gourmet feeding situation in Seattle. I would highly recommend this event.

My friends and I had a great time!! The Truffle Cafe, Rn 74 and Pike Brewing were highlights. We visited several times during our stay in Seattle after our tour. The guide was informative and fun!

The tour was FANTASTIC!!! Mark, our leader, carried us through seven (was it eight?) amazing locations in three ABSOLUTELY PACKED hours! I truly have bored all my friends with talking about it; it was amazing. I only wish we could have done it the day we arrived, instead of the day before we left, so we could go back and try all those spots again. It was THAT GOOD. Mark was terrific, and the folks we talked to at each of our stops were warm, interesting, inviting, and seemed glad to see us. And the food! Oh, the food. And the wine! AND THE BEER!! (I'm a beer girl, for sure.)
Truly it was just amazing and ... well. I'll send anybody your way I can manage, and will try your tours in other towns when I have the chance -- although they'll all be a disappointment compared to Mark.
Thank you!!!

This was an amazing tour! We started at a cute cupcake shop and everything was delightful and delicious from that moment on! The tour winds its way through the scenic streets of Seattle with an abundance of sights and shops. All the food we tasted was delicious and we were full afterwards too.

This was a great tour. The food was excellent; the tour director funny and knew everything there was to know about restaurants in Seattle. He had a great relationship with people wherever we went and that made the visits that much better. We did this tour towards the end of our stay in Seattle. I recommend doing it in the beginning because you will want to visit some of the stops along this tour again. We didn't have any time left to do so.

Guide, Aubrey, remained upbeat even though a 20-month-old, strong-willed child from Australia disrupted the tour continually. We sampled cupcakes, pizza with potatoes on top, potato soup with truffle oil, risotto, wine, beer, cheese, noodles, gelato and sorbet. This is certainly not a tour for diabetics, but it was fun.

This was a perfect way to explore and taste some of the city's delights! Our guide was the best: remembered everyone's name (in an 11-person group) and made the walk and the tastings entertaining and informative. We thought the 8 places we visited were wonderful and made return visits to a few during the remainder of our stay-especially enjoying our discount card! Would highly recommend this tour to people of all ages!

Mark our guide was fantastic. He quickly knew our names, really made us feel welcomed. He listened, encouraged and informed us about the wonderful places for us to eat and the quality and variety of foods to be found in Seattle. Each stop we were met by excited staff, chefs, or owners who shared their vision and always gave us a delightful and delicious sample of their food. We were treated to a wonderful variety of foods and my wife and I wanted to go back and eat or drink at every place we stopped. This is our second food tour and we enjoyed it very much. An outstanding value, a fun time and wonderful way to learn whats available in a new city or for anyone who lives there can benefit. Our only problem was after the tour we were too full to eat and thus had to wait for another day to enjoy wining and dining in Seattle.

We so enjoyed out tour last Sun! It was so much fun and yummy. We are very familiar with the Seattle restaurant scene but were introduced to a couple more that we didn't know about . I have already suggested it to many others. One person is getting a gift certificate for her son and daughter in law for a holiday present. Very good!

Very yummy and also includes alcohol which I didn't realize. I am a vegetarian and I still got delicious food at every stop!
