Jo KresgeJuly 28, 2013If you are a history buff or <3 Seattle, this is the tour for you! If you want something fun and exciting look for a ghost tour. Make sure you don't have plans afterwards, can go longer than allotted.
Courtney SlabaughJune 7, 2017Fascinating and the tour guides are great! Wear layers & comfy shoes - the temperature underground is different than outside and you'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven ground. Bring your camera!
Saurav MukherjeeJanuary 18, 2015The tour was really amazing. It was made note interesting by our tour guide, who also added a flavor of comedy garnished with high quality sarcasm. Worth the 18 dollars.
Song LiApril 3, 2016Very interesting and the guide is so passionate ;) this made me know a lot more about the history of Seattle! The night tour is, yes, like a party.
Maureen ElsberrySeptember 11, 2018Super touristy activity - explore the old city located underneath the current streets of Pioneer Square. There is a more gritty tour for 21+ over in the evenings.
Makenna BoyleOctober 24, 2014Great tour, must see in Seattle! Make sure to stop at the bar for a drink first! Better chug fast though because you aren't allowed to take drinks on the tour.
Didier DorgaApril 10, 2017The tour is an interesting look into the weird and notorious history of Seattle. Tour guide Ally was funny, knowledgeable, smart, and energetic.
Richard RevillaJanuary 16, 2013A must in Seattle. One of the best tours in America. I've done it three times they have a great funny spin on the history of Pioneer Square.
Claire KirbyMay 26, 2013If you go on the adult only tour, try and get the woman guide. If you are not that lucky, a drink (or two) before hand would greatly improve this disjointed and not particularly informative tour.
Tamara MastersJuly 13, 2018Great fun! I went on the adult tour. The guide was hilarous and I actually learned a lot about Seattle.
Ben BearnotJanuary 6, 2013Gail is an enthusiastic, hilarious, and bawdy tour guide. See if she's leading the tour you're going on--although it might run slightly longer than anticipated (ours was ~1.5 hrs).
Donna NeckJune 6, 2015Great tour, very informative and entertaining. Sarah, a fellow Floridian, was awesome!
Megan BrownNovember 7, 2012Wonderful tour! Professional, historic, and fun! Great history of Seattle in an entertaining way. A must do.
Ro JSeptember 15, 2016Highly recommended if you're visiting Seattle. You get to learn some very weird and cool historical facts!
- Jeffrey JohnsonSeptember 6, 2019A fun and interesting tour about some neat history of Seattle. The guides are especially great!
Alex RandowOctober 7, 2014A must not miss when visiting Seattle. Great historical tour with great tour guides.
Cindy LeongMarch 22, 2015If you order a drink before the tour, you get priority for seating. Very interesting fun facts about the city of Seattle.
Brian IbarraMay 2, 2016If you're into history this is for sure worth the money and get that student ID out to get discount no matter the school
Tania TMay 7, 2012u can save the $2.50/ticket web surcharge by buying tickets in-person, however they don't sell tickets more than 1 day in advance. wish they mentioned that last part b4 driving there!
Account DeactivatedJuly 13, 2018Hilarious and informative tour about the history of Seattle. Really enjoyed it.
If your passing by on Fridays, drop into the cafe for their $4 hot dog special. The hot dog is worth the money and you get a bag of Tim's chips plus drink.
HISTORYApril 7, 2010Takes visitors around Pioneer Square above ground and also to a hidden Seattle that now lies underground. About 25 square blocks of Pioneer Square have hollow spaces under the sidewalks.
LadymayAugust 12, 2013An interesting tour. This tour is really about the development of Seattle from the pioneer days. Lots of interesting facts.
John ChenApril 14, 2014Mary definitely makes the entire tour! I could see this being less than entertaining with any our tour guide.
Ellen RiellyAugust 25, 2016Great way to learn more about the history of Seattle. Tour lasts about 90 minutes.
Madelyn WoodsonJuly 14, 2013Really great tour, but wish I had done the Adult one that goes at 8 or 9pm so I could learn more about the "sewing" circles.
Sarah Malloy-GoodAugust 13, 2012A combination of nerdy jokes and amazing history all while touring Seattle's basement city. Gael is a particularly amazing guide.
Dustin LeeJuly 16, 2018Leila was an engaging and funny guide, and even rapped a verse to deliver her story for one part! Time flew by
Ellie PinesSeptember 16, 2014The tour is definitely worth the money, but the SubSeattle and late night underground tours are better. Just saying.
Jack ReevesSeptember 27, 2014Way cooler than I thought! You'll learn everything about how our favorite city came to be.
Vince ZhangSeptember 17, 2014Did the 5pm Sunday 9/14/2014 tour. It's pretty cool. I learned a bit about Seattle's history too!
Elise CrispenNovember 17, 2013Incredibly entertaining and interesting. Show up prior and order a drink from the labor before heading in.
T LSeptember 24, 2011Shane is hilarious! I advise not to wear heels. You'll leave never looking at downtown the same way again. Look for the patches on the sidewalks. They're skylights!
GAugust 9, 2014I was disappointed with this tour, it's was not entertained at all and I fall asleep walking. Don't expect something super exciting. But if you like history, you can give this a try.
