Walked around the market and learned the history of Seattle and the market over time. Excellent tour with lots of information. The blue tooth headphone system was awesome. Easy walk. Great tour guide. Well worth the money!

This tour is very much geared for tourists. We are from Seattle and just thought it would be fun to learn more about the market. It was fun and we did pick up some new tidbits about the history and current functioning of the market. Some statements were clearly exaggerated such as the comment that the viaduct could fall down any time without mention of ongoing repairs and checks. Our was a very small group--I think that it would have been helpful to have had quick introductions-perhaps names and where people are from.
