“We looked into many different food tours for this trip and made the absolute best choice in this tour. Chef Eric was a phenomenal guide for our group of 12 (which seemed like a lot in the beginning but did not affect the personal experience at all). The walk was easy and the venues we visited were interesting and tasty! Chef Eric tailored the tour to food allergies and intolerances, finding substitutions when necessary. The coffee ceremony (and sambusa) at Lands of Origin were a highlight along with the few minutes to take pics and get our bearings at Pike Place Market. The history of coffee in Seattle was interesting…”

“We loved this tour as a coffee junkies! Our guide Zach was knowledgeable about the coffee making process, he was extremely courteous when we accidentally went to the wrong location and made our tour very enjoyable with facts about the city. This was my first time in seattle and I enjoyed walking from coffee shop to coffee shop enjoying the winding roads and experiencing different flavors. Ghost Alley was our favorite and it’s lucky we had the opportunity to experience the tour after the Starbucks roasters was unexpectedly closed. No other sites were offering a coffee tour and I trust visiting with Viator so this made everything perfect!”

“My guide Cammi reached out to me before the tour to let me know where she would be and how to find her. That notice worked well, I arrived, she introduced herself and provided an overview of the tour. I was the only 1 for this tour, so I was able to enjoy full samples at each stop and she had to endure my endless questions. Cammi was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the world of coffee. Another bonus as a solo tour we could spend time relaxing at each stop vice having to ensure multiple folks got their samples, took seats, Q&A etc.. We had a few stops we…”
