Savor Food Tours runs four distinct food tours in and around Seattle and Pike Place Market: the Original Food & Culture Tour, the Insider’s Breakfast & Culture Tour, the Progressive Dinner Tour, and the Evening Stroll Tour of Pike Place Market (available as a private tour only). Each one covers different ground, runs at a different time of day, and suits a different kind of traveler.
Which Savor Food Tour Should I Book?
- First time in Seattle? Book the Original Food & Culture Tour. It’s Savor’s flagship midday tour with locally loved and iconic tastings and the 101 history of the market.
- Want to beat the crowds? Book the Insider’s Breakfast & Culture Tour. This is an early-morning breakfast food inspired tour before Pike Place Market gets busy.
- Planning a date night? Book the Progressive Dinner Tour. This is a mostly seated, multi-course evening with drink pairings across four restaurants.
- Want an evening private outing for your group? Book the Evening Stroll Tour of Pike Place Market. This is a private-only evening walking tour that takes all the magic of the Original Food and Culture Tour but after-hours.

Savor’s most popular tour is the perfect place to start. For two hours and fifteen minutes, your tour guide (aka best friend for the day) walks you through Pike Place Market, stopping at eight locally loved and iconic producer spots. You’ll bite into cinnamon sugar doughnuts fresh off the donut robot, sip on award-winning clam chowder and taste cultured gelato and plenty more in between. Your guide weaves in the Market’s storied history between bites and introduces you to the vendors who’ve called it home for years, so you leave knowing not just what you ate, but the stories behind it.
- Best for: first-time visitors, daytime sightseeing, small families with older kids
- Price: $65 per person
- Note: mostly standing and walking on cobblestones
This tour trades midday crowds for the calm of early morning. Starting before the Market wakes up, your Savor guide leads you through two and a half hours of savoring thirteen breakfast bites. You’ll indulge in maple bacon doughnuts fresh off the donut robot, talk one-on-one with the Pike Place Fishmongers as they flake apart Alderwood hot-smoked salmon right in front of you to taste, and sip a cup of Seattle’s iconic Market Spice tea. It’s a quieter, more intimate side of the Market, built on real conversations with vendors instead of crowds.
- Best for: early risers, people who want a less crowded Market experience, breakfast lovers
- Price: $89 per person
- Note: this is the earliest-starting of Savor’s daily tours
Savor’s most elevated experience turns dinner into a full evening out. The Progressive Dinner Tour is a full multi-course dinner where each course happens at a different restaurant, so guests walk from stop to stop through the night. For two and a half hours, a local guide leads the way, sharing the story behind each restaurant and the dishes you’re enjoying. It’s a really fun mix of good food, good conversation, and getting an insider’s look at some of Seattle’s best dining spots.
- Best for: date nights, anniversaries, celebrations, corporate team-building dinners
- Price: $159 per person
- Note: This is Savor’s only primarily seated experience
The Evening Stroll Tour is the only one of Savor’s four tours offered exclusively as a private booking. Over 2 hours, your dedicated Savor guide leads your group through Pike Place Market after hours, hitting eleven of the Market’s most iconic and local favorite tastings as the Market’s daytime bustle fades into a quieter, more atmospheric evening energy. Think of it as a fun alternative to a traditional dinner reservation where you can eat and explore the market simultaneously.
- Best for: groups with time constraints during the day, corporate groups, team building experiences
- Price: custom quote based on group size and add-ons
- Note: as a private tour, it can be paired with add-ons like a photography package, drink pairings, Hotel Meet & Walk service, or take-home treats like Fran’s Caramels
