The Savor Storytellers

A food tour is only as good as its guide, and we’ve built our company around that belief.

At Savor, our guides are professional storytellers, licensed locals, and passionate neighborhood experts who take their craft seriously. 

Your guide makes or breaks the trip, so we don’t cut corners.

Our All-Star Guide Program, industry-leading wages, and Guide Guarantee ensure every guide meets the same high bar. No matter who leads your tour, you can count on the same exceptional experience every time.

We invest in our guides because your experience depends on it, and we stand behind our people and the work they do.

Savor Food Tours

Meet Our Guides

Each of our tour guides brings deep local knowledge, genuine relationships with vendors, and a personal passion for sharing the city’s food culture.

They do more than lead tours. They create memorable, story-driven experiences that connect guests to the people, history, and flavors that define Seattle.

Sky

Seattle native who fell in love with Pike Place as a kid. Now dedicated to preserving the characters, culture, and legacy that make the Market a one-of-a-kind treasure. You’ll usually find him hugging or swapping stories with vendors, chasing hidden corners of history, or helping visitors fall in love with the Market—just like he did.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: Longanisa and pancit from O-Mart

Frankie

A dessert-loving food nerd who calls both Seattle and the Appalachian Mountains home. Former chocolate industry pro, now at pastry school sharpening their craft and sharing their love of food with every person on their tours.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: Ube tart from Mittens Sweets & Coffee

Tessa

Has traveled, lived, and eaten her way through countries around the world. Believes the secret ingredients to amazing food are the people and stories behind it. When not having a blast introducing new friends to the incredible community of Pike Place Market, you’ll find her deep in the wilderness exploring.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: Kha sach chrouk (braised pork belly) at Sophon (Khmer/Cambodian cuisine) in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood

Kacey

Originally from New England, fell in love with Seattle on a West Coast trip. Stumbled into Pike Place Market over a decade ago and has worn just about every hat in the Market since. Kacey has a deep love and affection for Pike Place Market ever since her first time working here.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: Any saj from Yalla in Capitol Hill

Nick

Has lived in Seattle his whole life and has no plans to leave. You’ll spot him (and his curly hair) geeking out over a cool tree or a bird he’s never seen before. He’s genuinely stoked to share what makes the market so special with travelers far and wide. Just don’t get him started on ancient history … unless you’ve got time to spare.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: A burger from Dicks Drive-In (Hot take: It’s better than In-N-Out.)

Martina

Chicago-raised, Atlanta-tested, Seattle-claimed for 12 years. Brings an energetic, curious spirit to every tour.

Chicago-raised, Atlanta-tested, and now claimed Seattle home after 12 years. Loves discovering new places, new people, and new food, whether that’s off in Paris or checking out a new restaurant 5 minutes away.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: The Normie McDonald pizza from Stevie’s Famous

Mark

Grew up in Florida, but after years of wandering the country, finally admitted what the rain was trying to tell him all along, he’s a Pacific Northwesterner at heart. A former documentary filmmaker with an insatiable hunger for obscure-but-fascinating knowledge, he now unleashes it on unsuspecting tour guests, whether the topic is Mount Rainier’s geology or Pike Place Market’s history (fair warning: you may miss your ferry home).

Local Dish I Always Recommend: Banh mi from Saigon Deli in the International District

Mila

Alaska-raised and Seattle-blossomed, Mila lives her life guided by two things: food and community and Pike Place Market has both in spades. After years at sea guiding travelers everywhere from Antarctica to the Arctic, she’s thrilled to be back somewhere that feels like home.

Local Dish You Always Recommend: Banh mi from Billiard Hoang

Ruth

Seattle resident for over 30 years and newly minted empty nester after raising two kids in West Seattle. A former school teacher turned tour guide, she got her start as a captain with Ride the Ducks Seattle. She believes Pike Place Market is the jewel of the city.

Local Dish I Always Recommend: Paseo’s famous Caribbean roast sandwich – grab a bunch of napkins, you’re going to need them!

Katheryn

Born and raised in Seattle, with a deep love of community and small businesses that made working in the Market a natural fit. An actor and circus artist performing all over town, they come armed with a large collection of dad jokes…be prepared to cringe.
Local Dish You Always Recommend: Seafood boil at Happy Crab (gorgeous views, affordable seafood, gloves, bibs and hand pulled noodles.)
