Awesome tour with Dave
Thomas B.

One of the best parts of going on this tour at the beginning was the people that take care of you and so you tickets and the guide. They put together a story that you can take Home with you and explain to people what you saw. There's many ways to understand the history of Seattle. But to hear it from someone who's invested in learning the little details that make you go wow then this is the group. It leaves its way around Seattle in the underground and above ground and you get not only the underground, but history, the older buildings that are above. I was very impressed with the way that this was handled. Recommended to everyone to try it.

One of the longer tunnels.

Dave was a wonderful guide that made an effort to mix humor and information during the tour. He provided some modern recommendations in addition to the background context behind the tunnels under Pioneer Square.

Dave was an amazing guide. The history of Seattle was easy to picture through his descriptions.

Betsy was our tour guide 3/20/2026 at 230p. She was AHHHMAZING! Really informative and engaging. Well spent hour.

Daniel was an amazing your guide. He had a great sense of humor and knew a lot about the history of Seattle. My son, who is 7, also enjoyed how much Daniel involved him in the tour. Highly recommend.

I've lived in the area for a while, but this tour gave me a whole new appreciation for the city's history. Walking through the original streets of old Seattle, hidden beneath the modern city was so cool! Our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and funny, making the history come alive with fascinating stories about Seattle's early days, the Great Fire. I loved getting to see remnants of old storefronts and sidewalks from the late 1800s. Pro Tip: I booked my session using GetOutPass, where I get access to multiple local venues similar to GoCity. Use coupon code: sale1 for an extra $5 discount on top of existing promotions, if you end up getting the pass to explore more of Seattle. The Woodland Zoo is also included and not far from here

Dave was an awesome tour guide! Very very insightful on the history of the city. Walking through the tunnels was really cool. Would recommend it to anyone.

Downstairs entrance at 102 Cherry Street
Roselia G.

I learned so much about the history of Seattle during this tour lead by Richard. You start at 102 Cherry Street at the basement entrance. You will see the signs. There's a gift shop down there, and restrooms. You'll start there, but get lead back out through the streets, and then back down underground a couple of times. The last two areas did have a stuffy smell, but you're not down there for long. Oh and watch out for Richard, he's a jokester:P

Our tour guide Carter was fun and interesting
Leanne D.

We have visited Seattle several times before and we've been wanting to check out this tour. Carter, our tour guide was humorous and made the tour fun and interesting. While I had expected to be able to walk the entire length of the underground area, which would have been so cool, I now understand why we cannot. Definitely worth going on the tour at least once to learn about the history of Seattle.

Belle C.

Very nice tour guide. Loved the info and the experience. Kinda scary to go under all the streets that are so old. Great info and honestly really cool.

Zarifa A.

My coworker recommended me to check out this tour during my Seattle trip and I'm glad I did! The tour itself was really informative and I enjoyed learning about the history of Seattle. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions we had. My favorite part was walking through the tunnels, however, I was expecting to see more of the tunnels but our time there was really short. Overall, I enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to others!

I think I fell in love with Seattle a little more today!

Where do we park for this tour? We have a rental car and will be staying 10mins away.

Does the after hours tour only focus on prostitution, gambling, etc. or does it also include some of the info from the day time tours?

Great question! There is some overlap between the daytime and evening tours and both tours visit the same underground locations. The nighttime tours will discuss how and why… Read more

One recent review claimed that the "after hours" tour doesn't "have the same access to the underground tunnels" as the day tours - is that true?

Adam, Thanks for your question. MOST evenings our nighttime Beneath The Streets tour DOES have access to all of the underground spaces that we visit during the daytime.… Read more

First of all, I want to start this review by stating that I did not get to attend this tour because…read moreI was late (which I will admit) but I am still giving one star due to the rude staff member who worked at the starting location of this tour. On Saturday, the 21st, four of us were scheduled to go and do this tour and we were extremely excited. After dealing with the atrocious Seattle traffic and terrible parking situations down by the pier I was already very frustrated. Our party arrived at the Ye Olde Curiosity Shop at 7:04 for our 7:00 pm tour and asked the worker where the tour meets to which the rude worker just replied under their breath, "they left" and returned to work.I explained that I understood we were late but were hoping we could catch up with them. I asked that same worker where the tour meets and they said, "In a big group outside" and continued to work. While we were on the pier in Seattle this information was not helpful. Trying to salvage the night, we went outside and tried to walk around and look for a "big group of people" on the crowded Seattle pier on a Saturday night. After a few minutes I went back inside he shop frustrated and asked the worker if they could find someone that was actually helpful that could answer some questions. With some reluctancy this person called their accommodating manager who explained that the tour heads to the right and described exactly what the tour guide was wearing. Ultimately we were unable to catch up with our tour guide because of how much time was wasted with this worker who was unwilling to help us at all. Again I understand we were late, but stuff happens. This place needs to hire people who have customer service skills.

Found a Groupon and thought we'd give it a whirl. I've been on the Underground Tour before and…read morethought this might be a different perspective. First off, the Groupon was a nice deal, however the reservation process was a bit challenging. You must reserve a minimum of 48 hours in advance. And they are closed Tuesday& Wednesday in slower months. I followed the directions and emailed my request in for a Thursday 6 pm walk. (Friday and Saturday were unavailable for Groupon) Apparently I put the incorrect Groupon code so received an email requesting correct code. After another email, I was confirmed. The emails are a bit overwhelming and require you to read all rules and stipulations regarding cancellation policy..and I imagine they were created because of multiple problems with third party discounts, but I suggest perhaps toning down the big print and bold highlights to a more tourist friendly approach as it was a tad off putting for a first impression. So, all Groupon issues aside, we arrived at the address provided a half hour early (always better to be early than late!). There are multiple parking lots available throughout the address, as well as metered street parking. As a disabled person, I was able to find a spot right in front with a placard for free. We walked down a steep stairway into a very fitting dungeon like storefront. We were greeted by a friendly lady who found our reservation and said we could walk about the DEATH MUSEUM until 6 when our tour would meet just to the right of the counter. There is a small gift shop with mostly local products. The museum has some interesting information and displays that reflect all aspects of death, from embalming utensils, death masks, photos of deceased, mourning attire, coffins, hair embellishments and more. Nice touch. At 6 we met in the pews, and were greeted by our tour guide, Graham.. A "portly" (lol) gentleman with a charismatic presence. He spoke with enthusiasm and provided recordings, pictures and videos throughout the tour. The walk itself is easy. The tour is 90 minutes and only covers a few blocks of Pioneer Square. There are several sets of steep stairways that are part of this tour. It is not wheelchair or stroller accessible. At the end of the tour we were aka to walk through their own "underground" in the dark with flashlights they provided. This was pretty cool. I really am intrigued by the whole underground here in Seattle. I did enjoy the tour, and our guide was great.. However I felt like there wasn't a lot of substance. I have done the UNDERGROUND TOUR below, so I am a little familiar with Seattle's history and I would have liked to hear a little more area history and visited more buildings. This is not a HAUNTED TOUR. There is no-one jumping out at you or spooky sound effects. This is a tour based on evidence and local stories and lore of paranormal experiences. You can be a believer, a skeptic or a non believer.. You are given the facts, the stories, the lore and evidence and you can form your own opinion. All in all it was a good PG intro to the world of yesteryear in Seattle. I hear there is a pub tour for adults only and think this may have been a better option, however it was not available through the Groupon. Overall..skip the Groupon and book an adult only tour. Till our next visit to Seattle... :)

I love her enthusiasm, knowledge, historical facts, and information she shared with us regarding Pike Place Market and its vendors. The curated food samples around the market were well-organized, generously portioned, and delicious. I highly recommend this tour for both locals and tourists alike. I am a local Seattleite. I did this tour for the first time over 10 years ago and was pleased that it wasn't exactly the same places we stopped at before. Plus, it reminded me to go back and support businesses that I had forgotten about and to continue exploring the market and to come back often because this place is truly a gem and worthy of our support for being 100% local and run by small business owners. Today was a perfect afternoon well spent :-)

I realize folks are from all over and might not understand, but you can make it optional! It would have made me feel more comfortable in the group as a non-binary person.
