"A
s a ghost geek and history buff, the Pike Market Ghost Tour was exactly what I hoped for. Chuck, our host, had great stories of the area around the market and old Seattle. The ghost stories weren't lame, or for cheap shivers. We went @ five when the market was just closing and it was still light. I would imagine it has a different affect after dark when all of the vendors are gone. This tour is a must! Worth the price!" - Jamie, yelp.com review 6/18/2010

"My friend came from out of town and this was the one thing that she asked to do. It didn't disappoint. Penny was our tour guide and she was great. She provided the perfect mix of history as well as a dash of the spooky. We attended the first tour of the day at 5pm on a sunny afternoon so it wasn't particularly scary, but there were parts that were still kind of creepy. I really feel like we learned a lot about the market and the buildings as well as some of the history of how modern Seattle came to look like it does now. Mercedes took our reservations on-line and called me back to confirm, and she was super nice. Even if your guests have doubts about the supernatural elements, there is a lot of information here on the tour. I highly recommend this for any guests from out of town as well as locals that haven't grown up in Seattle." - Jonathan, yelp.com review 5/25/2010

"What a GREAT time! Whether or not you believe in ghosts, you will find this experience incredibly interesting. They share the history of some of Seattle's more intriguing places and people (whether you believe those people continue to linger in the market is for you to decide!). Although I walk near the market nearly every day I had no idea! We took our son and some friends on the tour for his 12th birthday and both kids and adults had a blast!" - Brian J, yelp.com review 1/26/2010

"I just wanted to thank you again for the private tour you gave our company on Wednesday nite, it was fabulous, and everyone just loved it! It is still a topic of conversation around here! We are definitely coming back to Seattle and you will see several of us in your tour group again at some time or another. Thank you for making it so entertaining and just a lot of fun!" - Tammy 2008

"I've been meaning to write & Thank You for the fabulous tour of Pike Place Market. We had such a great time. So much history that we didn’t know! And we live here! You made the tour both fun & entertaining and we want to express our gratitude for a truly memorable afternoon." - Tina, Renate & Austin March 2006

"I just wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed your tour. Of the ghost tours I have been on, I found yours to be one of the most entertaining and informative. I can not think of a better way to learn about a place then by hearing its ghost stories. Though I had never heard of the Pike Place Market before taking your tour, I now feel like I know something about a place that many people take for granted. Thank you for sharing these stories and organizing a great tour, I will undoubtedly suggest your tour to anyone I know who is visiting the Seattle area." -Charles September 2006

"Not only do you hear ghost stories of the market with surrounding areas, but also anecdotes about Seattle and its' characters from many centuries past. It turns out that no two tours are alike and it is down right fascinating having a world class performer entertaining you with an interactive tour, that makes you want to come back for more!" - Susanne Lindberg-Jones August 2008
