Tour FAQ

We recommend that you bring the following:

  • Water
  • Hat and/or sunglasses
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Weather-appropriate clothing

Please note that this 2-2.5 hour food tour primarily involves standing and walking, with limited opportunities to sit. Comfortable footwear is recommended as seating will not be available.

Due to our passion for accurately displaying the amazing foods Pike Place Market has to offer, we cannot always accommodate dietary restrictions.

We certainly do our best, and many places have options, but a few favorites of ours simply do not. Please reach out to us if you have any questions to see if you like what we have to offer.

Substitutions must be indicated in advance at time of ticket purchase.

We know a guide can make or break your experience, and that’s why we invest deeply in the people who lead our tours.

Every Savor guide completes a minimum of 10 apprentice tours, meets ongoing education requirements, and is trained as a professional storyteller before leading tours independently.

Our All-Star Guides go even further, earning more than 100 five-star reviews annually, volunteering in the community, and building one-on-one relationships with local vendors.

We’re confident in our guides, and we want you to be, too. If you don’t have a great experience with your guide, your next Savor tour is on us. Just reach out at help@savorfoodtours.com and we’ll make it right.

Every Savor tour is backed by our Guide Guarantee.

Savor Food Tours operates on a no-tipping model. Instead of optional gratuities, we include a 20% service charge that is retained by Savor Food Tours.

This allows us to compensate our guides with industry leading wages for their expertise and storytelling, provide ongoing training, and maintain high-quality experiences.

Because guide compensation is built into our model, no additional tip is expected or required.

If you’d like to show extra appreciation, leaving a 5-star Google review and mentioning your guide by name is another way to support them. That helps our guides earn All-Star status and recognition within our team.
