Overview

Go underground on a 1-hour walking history tour through Seattle's original neighborhood. Our experienced guides lead small groups through, and beneath, Pioneer Square to the street level that existed in the 1890s. Explore underground pathways that were built more than 120 years ago, learning details on early Seattle history, why these spaces were built, and how they have been used (and misused) over the years. Marvel at how this once Indian encampment has since transformed into one of the 20 largest cities in the United States. 

Highlights

  • Step back in time on a history tour

Very fun, and lots of history about early Seattle. The guide was very funny as well! It was interesting to see beneath the streets!

We had an amazing experience on the Beneath the Streets tour. We had a super knowledgable guide, and definitely learnt a lot about the city. We also had Seattle natives in the group with us who also learnt something new! The native american history that helped build this city, the ingenuity of the authorities to reclaim land, and what led to the Roman-esque architectural influences around - there was a lot of super interesting stuff. Kudos to our guide (I believe David?) in helping us learn a lot more about this amazing city.

Was exactly what we were looking for. Very informative tour and a funny engaging tour guide. Would recommend this tour with Mike. If we are ever back in Seattle we would do it again to hear more stories.

The tour person was informative and funny. She explained the history of why seattle had to be built above sea level. She also gave an insight to where were underground to street level. She pointed out spots on street level where a brothel was, etc. I loved the little gift shop which had reasonable priced items.

Quality experience! There were other more expensive options, but I don’t know how it could have been better. It was not too long, and very detailed.
