This was such a wonderful and informative tour! My sister and I had a great time and learned a lot that was not mentioned in other tours we have taken that covered the same areas. I highly recommend this fun tour!

This was a wonderful experience, and so much fun. I was part of a great group of people, none who I knew, but with Carolyn we became fast friends. Great stories, great history behind the stories. Carolyn has a way of keeping you engaged with every tail and with every turn there is another mystery to discover. I highly recommend her tour.

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.

What a perfect way to complete our day discovering new places in Seattle! Carolyn's tour was definitely the icing on the cake. I love how she wove the interesting history in the wonderful sights and sounds of Pike Place market. Especially interesting was the history of the vendors of the market, how they take care of each other, what the best spots are, more things we are able to do on our own, and how Pike Place was integral in the formation of Seattle itself, along with famous area businesses. Carolyn's knowledge of the vendors was also appreciated - it gave us an "inside" to the people and area. She's obviously on great terms with the vendors, and that closeness made it a better experience for all of us. Plus, as a former James Beard award winning chef, she knows food, and gave advice on the best places to grab a bite. Thank you for the fun afternoon!

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.

She answered all of our questions and showed so much respect for the history there! We didn’t know what to expect and we had such a great time! Happy we had such a great tour guide

It was decent. I would skip this honestly. Also, MOST of the shops if not all inside the market were already closed. If you want to do this tour, book for an early one. I was truly disappointed:/

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Carolyn. She had fantastic, deep knowledge and was very engaging. This tour was a wonderful Valentine's Day activity for us!
