Details

Seattle pulses with a distinct character shaped by its waterfront, fresh markets, and evolving culinary scene. Sum Good Tours offers a range of curated food and drink experiences centered in the city’s iconic Pike Place Market and beyond. This business stands out by blending urban adventure with local flavor, guiding visitors through historic vendors, artisanal producers, and contemporary craft bars situated steps apart in the heart of Washington’s largest city. Whether your interest lies in fresh seafood brunches, plant-based delights, or carefully crafted cocktails, Sum Good Tours creates immersive journeys through Seattle’s diverse palette.

Pike Place Market serves as the beating heart of these experiences. Beyond the well-known fish toss and flower stalls, this area offers a dynamic backdrop of cobblestone alleys, brick buildings, and city views framing Elliott Bay.

Their Viking Beer Crawl celebrates Seattle’s rich brewing heritage, featuring innovative IPAs and traditional lagers alike at neighborhood pubs.

The multi-sensory tours also showcase Seattle’s commitment to sustainability and fresh, local ingredients. Options like the Plant Based Pike Place Food Tour highlight gluten-free and vegan menus, resonating with environmental and dietary mindfulness in the region. Additionally, the Craft Cocktail Gourmet Food Tour takes you through refined blending rooms, where bartenders pair inventive drinks with savory dishes.
