John was an energetic tour guide and a wealth of knowledge. We sampled yummy food while he showed us some cool spots in the market and told us stories and information about the market. He knows everyone in the market and it’s clear he’s well liked in the community.

Chef John was a delight! Very knowledgeable about the market and entertaining in his description of the things we were seeing. Would definitely recommend his tour to anyone. The only complaint was that there was quite a bit of salmon in the tastings so a little more variety would be great but overall, our group really enjoyed it! We were stuffed!

John was very knowledgeable about Pike Place. He had lots of info from the inside since he's been around the area for so long. He knows many of the store owners and he's good at involving them in conversation during the tour. My husband and I were the only ones that showed for this tour, so we could hear him well, walk at our own pace, maneuver through the crowds easily. After we finished the tour, we were very happy we had done it. Since we've never been to Pike Place it would have been difficult to navigate where to go. John was really great at showing us landmarks and shortcuts to help us get around when the tour was over.
