Patti was awesome! She had such enthusiasm and it really showed that she loved her job and cared about what she was talking about. The tour was fun and we got to see a lot of cool stuff, it makes you think about the city in a different way and theres a lot of things i didnt know about Seattle. Love Seattle and love the tour!
It was a good tour, the guide was very knowledgeable. But... we only saw 2 underground spots. The rest of the hour tour was all up at street level.
Wonderful tour by unscripted historian guides! I learned so much about the roots of Seattle that I didn t know before, plus tips on things to do and visit within Pioneer Square.
Fun tourist adventure in downtown Seattle. It begins with a bit of history of Seattle delivered in a musty basement. The tour passes through that store front and goes to other locations within a couple of blocks of the start. The info presented is pretty interesting and helps in understanding the names and places of Seattle. This tour is partially outside, in downtown Seattle during the day. It can be hard to hear the tour guide and navigating the streets during a busy hour can be difficult. Overall a fun time.
I only wish the tour was longer. But boy did we learn a lot. The waiting area was very entertaining, was glad we got there early to explore the goodies in the lobby. The small group size gave us the ability to hear everything the guide was explaining. The guide was both entertaining and informative, he appears to really enjoy his job and sharing information. The price was right as well.
The tour guide we had was very knowledgeable about the history of Seattle. If you're looking for something else other than that it may be a bit lacking. The underground sections we saw were not what I expected, but the history behind it was well-pieced together.
It's worth doing if you're looking for a bit of history
Karry was our tour guide. She was/is very knowledgeable about the city s history. Also passionate about it as well. Answered questions. Tour is a walking tour with stairs, so if you have trouble with this(I didn t), I wouldn t recommend it. The underground isn t much to see, but learning the early history of Seattle makes it well worth the $20.
Informative. Provided different info from another tour.
Our guide Jim Gall was informative, funny and engaging. The tour provides a lot of info about Seattle's history and it's interesting to see the original street level, shops, retaining walls and skylights. Highly recommended for all!
Excellent time. Rod was an engaging story teller with fun facts. Thank you.
Richard was very funny. I heard about underground seattle on a podcast and thought it would be very cool to check out. Would recommend this to any tourists in Seattle.
We absolutely loved this tour. (We did the late night adult tour) We are only here for a few days for my birthday and wanted to do a couple things that would really make the trip enjoyable. This was certainly it. Chuck was a wealth of knowledge. I learned more than I ever thought I could know about Seattle. He knew the answers to every question and quite literally was a teacher. He walked us to several areas in the city and pointed out areas that were mentioned on the tour historically, to present day. It was remarkable to see how the city has grown and have so many examples to go alongside such an interesting story. Chuck was so awesome and we would come back for another tour! (Be sure to tip your tour guide!)
Awesome activity, and well priced at $20. You re taking down of an underground tour of the Seattle close to Pioneer Square. It s not really an underground tour, but rather you re taken underground at various locations. The guide was passionate and entertaining. Loved the story about the former-ground-floors-now-basements, as the city was rebuilt after the fire, but raised about a story-level. Also, love how I can give a top with credit card - I never carry cash.
Nice tour of history of the city, guide was nice and knows the city's history very well.
Very disappointing. We spent most of the time above ground. When we were below we were exposed to black mold and stayed in that area for quite some time. My friend and I were both starting to feel sick. The guide kept telling terrible jokes and puns. I was really expecting to learn about Seattle during the times before the fire. I wanted to learn about what Seattle was like down there.
The guides are very knowledgeable and encouraged any questions you may have
Really good tour! This tour has a wealth of information on the beginnings of Seattle and how they overcame early problems with flooding in the city. You see so much. Be prepared to walk and climb steps. Jim, our tour guide was phenomenal.
Amazing experience. We went last month, guide was very knowledgeable and really seemed like he knew And loved what he was doing. I'd recommend this to locals and tourist both. Fun history of Seattle.
It smells weird underground and there are random puddles but if you want authentic Seattle, you should definitely experience this. It's rad.
Learned a lot! Would never know that there's a whole world under the streets!! Tour guide knew her stuff and was very nice!
The knowledge of the worker was wonderful and she was very personable. I think we just expected something different and more but there's just not much left of it.
We were a small group which was great. The tour guide was great. She was informative, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and responsive to the groups needs.
Seattle has an amazing story and Richard did a great job of telling it. We'd recommend this tour to locals (which we are) and tourists.
Took a tour with Chuck. He was extremely knowledgeable and we left knowing a lot about Seattle's history. I loved all the trivia and anecdotes that he shared with us. He answered all my questions and, being that we were in a small group, I asked a ton.
Such a great personal tour, great history, great conversation, great guide. Staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Great discounts for military! Awesome 10/10 would recommend!!!
If you go to Seattle this is a must-do tour explains a lot about the city.
This is a cool tour! If you have some time to spare, you should definitely try to fit in this quick one hour tour. I learned quite a bit about Seattle's underground and history. Our tour guide, Patty, was amazing too! She's so warm and welcoming. You can tell she really enjoys telling you about the city.
Smaller groups with a much more engaging guide than other tours. What I learned about the architecture alone was worth it not to mention the tip about the Columbia tower Starbucks.
David gave us an underground tour that told a great history of Seattle. There's so much more to this city than I anticipated! He also made the time to point each person in the group towards the best lunch spots in the area. Good group sizes too
Loved it super fun to go with a group or just join the group
Richard was awesome! He was knowledgeable, informative and funny! Highly recommend! And Richard, with your personality, there s always a job for yoy in Nashville Tn I m sure!
Took a day trip down to Seattle and felt like an Underground tour (not knowing what it would entail) be fun and interesting. Little did we know we were in for a treat.
Mike was our tour guide, and I have never been on a tour hosted by someone who was so passionate about the subject, so fun and really did his best to engage everyone. He was so jazzed to be talking about the underground of Seattle, even though he had been doing the job for quite some time.
We learned so much (not really knowing any of the history of Seattle) and it was so cool being underground and getting a feel for how things used to be like.
If you have the time, go on this tour! It is a blast and I am sure the other tour guides are good, but Mike was fantastic!
Fun tour which was really engaging. Interesting to see the history of Seattle that I never knew about. Tour guide was great! Worth a visit while in town and will only take up a little more than an hour of your day.
I'll give it 5 stars for service and idea, I didn't take the tour this time but I'll be going back and will definitely take a tour. The staff was really cool and even promoted the local business they partnered with (not just themselves) awesome crew working there
I was surprised! I have done the Underground your but this one is Waaayyy better. These guys do not panhandle you for tips after the tour. You are not pressured and will not make you feel awkward. My guide, Richard is very knowledgeable and witty.
A must see if you are going to Seattle. Your was great.
We stumbled upon this tour by accident as we were searching for the other tour. They noted how this was a smaller group size (better for interaction) and lower price too. Plus, they covered a different area. Most of all, our tour guide was Jerry/Jerome who loved his job which really made the tour informative and entertaining.
Richard was an excellent guide, he was very informative and welcoming. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the city and the history.
Tour guide Kari was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would highly recommend this tour. Learned lots about the History of Seattle.
Dave was great! We really enjoyed our tour and learning about the history of Seattle.
Attended the After Hours tour and had a great knowledgable tour guide.
Rob was a great guide. Great experience touring a bit of the city and learning some of the city s great history.
Tour guide Richard is top notch! Our trip to Seattle would not have been complete without Beneath the Streets.
This was a great tour I learned some much it's great if you enjoy history!
Beneath the Streets red light district was fun. Loved learning about the underbelly of Seattle
Knowledgeable and courteous staff. Great true historic tour. Not geared for the average tourist - in depth and informative. Highly recommended.
You learn a ton about Seattles history on this tour. The guide was awesome, very friendly and informative. Take this tour.
It was super educational and really fun! Our guide was the best ever
Kim did an amazing job of engaging with our group and telling these stories, we had a lot of fun and we will be back for their other tours!
Absolutely awesome experience! Totally worth every cent and the guide was so knowledgeable and fun!! It's a must do!!
Loved tourguide Mike's energy. He's a really passionate guy and was able to tell the group a lot about the history!
Thought tour was just ok, slightly entertaining but not one I would go on again. Was hoping to see more of the historical underground but instead they took us through an underground comedy club and another modern basement.
I love the history of Seattle. Other than the part where they stole the land of the natives...it's great American history! Our guide Richard was funny and really knew his history. Fyi child friendly tour.
Jennifer was the best tour guide /beneath the streets/Over all Seattle historian. Her sunny disposition is welcoming to any tourist,no matter weather in Seattle. She knows this city and its rich /sad/colorful history is happy to share it and answer any questions new tourist may have. Thank you to all the staff members at beneath the streets you give pride to the city of Seattle.
Jim Gall the tour guide is the best! I learned so much on this walking tour, and Jim provided both entertainment and education. Thank you, Jim! I highly recommend this tour. A bang for your buck, I may add!
Awesome I would do it again. Our guide was terrific!
Jim did a great job. They have small groups and the tour guides bring a unique piece of Seattle history to life. We really enjoyed our tour. I highly recommend it.
Great tour! You re able to see and learn a lot about the Victorian- Romanesque architecture and history of Seattle.
Wonderful look behind the scenes of Seattle history. Well guided and just the right length.
Myself and my partner had been holidaying in Seattle as tourists from Australia when we came across Beneath The Street. Not being very knowledgeable about the history of the town we decided to join in on one of the tours.
Once we got underway our tour guide Rod made sure to fill us in on every interesting detail about Seattle that his vast 40 years of knowledge and experience could inform us on. We were treated to a couple of underground areas that held historical significance or gave further enlightenment to the information being provided as well as some photographs from the time period being explained by Rod as he toured us around with his comedic touch added alongside.
The tour itself wasn't very long (being around an hour and a half) but filled myself and my partner with a lot of fascinating details that we then took around the streets marvelling at all the many things around the area afterwards that we were told about.
Understanding the circumstances of how hard it would be to show the entirety of underneath the town and coming into this tour with not much knowledge however my partner and myself loved every minute and highly recommend this experience to everyone back home and anyone in the area who hasn't tried this already. We couldn't thank Rod and the team enough for a wonderful time!
The tour guide was Jennifer and she was awesome! Super informed about the history and very very personable! I had a great tour and would recommend this to everyone!
I've done several tours in Seattle and this was one of my favorites. Our guide was entertaining but his first priority was to educate our group about the first peoples of the Pacific Northwest, the settlement of Seattle, the problems of the early settlers, the reasons that Seattle has an underground, and the culture of that underground. He used Q&A to make sure we were understanding what he was talking about which I really apprciated. Along the way our guide pointed out several pieces of architecture and interesting places we might want to explore later. If you are interested in Seattle history and would like to see The Underground this tour should definitely be on your list. Thank you Beneath The Streets for a great morning in Seattle.
This is horrible. It s sold as an underground tour. You see nothing. Go to the original.
Dave was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was really great and showed a side of the city I never would have seen
Very good tour! We had Richard, who did a great job. He was very entertaining and was quite knowledgeable of Seattle history. I would definitely recommend this tour.
We learned a lot on the tour and it was very interesting to learn about Seattle's history. The tour guide, Dave, was very informative and I would totally recommend this tour to my friends!
Good family fun! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny.
This was an excellent experience. Although I ve been to Seattle many times, I was not aware of this part of the city s history. Our tour guide, Janelle, was both articulate and funny and told us many interesting stories of how Seattle s underground was created as an integral part of the city.
Beneath the Streets Tour was fun and personal. We were able to ask questions in a small group. Dave the tour guide was awesome! We got lots of history and fun! The location shares entrance with another (scarier) tour so don't be turned away by the creepy entrance. Definitely a must do in Seattle.
Tour guy talked too fast tour was cool want more ghost stories and less Seattle facts
Great treat! Lots of history and information presented in an entertaining way!
The tour was amazing! Knowledgeable staff, and an interesting experience!
Heard about this under ground tour in Seattle, so decided to look in to it. Glad I did. The tour is very educational and interesting. It wasn't very expensive. It was a great price for a different experience of Seattle and how it got its name.
Our tour guide name was Richard. He was super funny and gave us a lot of amazing facts and history on the Seattle. The whole tour is a hour long.
We actually got lucky because we booked a late tour and ended getting a private tour of pioneer square. The evening tours are less crowded and we ended being the only ones who booked that time slot.
It worked out perfectly. I am so happy we were able to fit that it. It was so interesting. I definitely recommend it. You won't be disappointed. With your tour tickets they also offer a discount to the underground comedy club and 2 dollars off the Smith tower observatory, all these are centrally and closely located to each other(all within walking distance) in pioneer square.
Really good tour to teach you the history of the city. I was expecting it to be OK, but you learn a lot about how the city was built and why it was built that way. I am curious of the haunted tours as well, but didn t have time to check those out.
Great guide, "Jim" included everyone and was extremely knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend this tour.
Fascinating tour with entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide, with really cool old-timey photos along the way for reference. I definitely prefer the 25 person limit for the tour. Others have 50-person caps, which sounds like it would be too much for the tight spaces in the tunnels. Great experience.
