Came in from CT for a conference and found the Free Walking Tours online. Amalia, our tour guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable of the Market! It was an informative and fun tour. I was flying solo but it felt like I was with friends. Amalia gave me the insider info on the really good coffee, Ghost Alley Coffee, and I’ve been down to grab a cup every day since! We learned all about the Market history and all the fundraising and community efforts that have built the incredible Market. I would take this tour over and over because I imagine it’s a different experience each time. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Amalia, for helping me to fall in love with Seattle!
Seattle 101 free tour by Joe is an experience you do not want to miss if this is your first time in Seattle. History, scenery, tips on happy hours & best places to visit it's all here very well presented by Joe.
This review are for 2 separate Seattle Free Walking Tours, The Market Experience AND Seattle 101. I thought that I would be able to post 2 separate reviews for each tour, but they were not listed separately. Both tours are free and the "payment" are the tips to the guide. No tip is required so if you truly did not enjoy the experience, you don't have to pay anything. Some free tour guides may suggest a specific dollar amount but in my experience, most do not. I appreciated that our tour guide did not specify an amount but I will say that in most cases, people tip $15-20 per person on average. The Market Experience focused on Seattle's world famous Pike Place. It is a great introductory tour as it not only provides history but also gives you a general sense of the area should you want to return and explore on your own. The guide on both tours was Amalia and she was great. She was friendly, enthusiastic, provided great info, and was open to any and all questions. Pike Place is huge and the tour is only 1 hour long so there is only so much that Amalia can show you but she does take you to the more famous places in the marketplace. Onto the Seattle 101 tour. This tour was 2 hours long also led by Amalia and once again, it's a great introductory tour of Seattle. You stay in the Downtown area and Pike Place so you don't wander too far, but there are a couple of parts that are uphill so it can be a little straining. This tour covers some more famous places but it is a nice way to see some of Seattle via this walking tour. I don't normally sign up for 2 walking tours back to back but both places started at the same place and the tour was only 30 min. apart so why not. It allowed for me to end the Market Experience tour with some info on places to eat, so I enjoyed some snacks while waiting for Seattle 101 to start. Both great tours to get acclimated to Seattle.
