The underground tour was great! Our guide, Dave, was very knowledgeable and brought a bit of humor and color to the tour.
Lots of historical information, great 'entertainment by the guides (Jim) and feeling Seattle in the way it was 150 years ago.
Interesting history of city. Knowledgeable tour guide. Guide gave suggestions of other attractions to see in Pioneer Square.
Really interesting...I’ve been to Seattle a few times and didn’t realize this existed. Enjoyed the tour :)
Three of us (2 Seattle resident, 1 visitor) did the underground tour on Monday August 6th. All information was really informative and delivered with fun and humor. I had heard a bit of the history on another tour a few years back but this guide had more detail plus well reinforced by the photos in the underground parts of the tour. And appropriately creepy under the arches of the buildings! Well done.
Beneath the Streets there was so much to learn about the history of Seattle. It was great to have other interesting sites nearby pointed out and recommended to us that were worth going to as well, so we also went up the Smith Tower afterwards.
My wife and I took this tour and enjoyed ourselves. It was very interesting to learn about the history of Seattle. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seattle.
Dietrich was informative and knowledgeable about the subject but I felt he was wasting his time. Be enthusiastic about you subject.
Who would have thought sidewalks could be a dozen feet below the streets? Very clever solution. Whole tour was entertaining and informative. Recommend.
Rick was our tour guide and is very passionate and informative. He has been doing this for 24 years and knows his stuff. He took us into the lives if early settlers in Seattle and how they made Seattle what it is today. Not just an underground your but also history as well. Very enjoyable. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
Great tour. Out your hide told alot of history to go along with that party of town and why there is an underground. Very informative and funny.
Great tour. Our guide Jennifer was excellent!! She was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We were on a family vacation with ages ranging from 9 to 60- all enjoyed the tour Highly recommend!
I believe Sara was our tour guide. We learned about Seattle's early beginnings and how it evolved into the great city we know today. We were above and below the streets and the information presented was amazing. Well worth your time!
Excellent small group tour of what’s beneath the streets in Seattle. I highly recommend. The tour is only one hour, so great for kids. The information was interesting and guide was funny. Great tour!
What an amazing amount of info in an hour tour. We are so glad we did this. Patty was incredible!! The tour was the perfect amount of time and amount of info.
Ask for Richard, he is very informative, a great sense of humor and very interactive, the tour contained lots of information about the city and the area and it was an eye opener.
Patty was fun, knowledgeable and friendly! So much history of Seattle that you would not know existed as a tourist. Definitely worth your time!
Betsy was our guide. She knows so much. learned a lot about underground history. she even gave us tips about our next adventure
Our guide Terri Lynn was fantastic. We learned a lot of Seattle's history and saw places in the city that we did not know about. Highly recommend the tour!
This was an interesting tour led by a guide passionate about her city. I learned so much about Seattle from her and being in a small group experience was excellent.
What a great informative tour, our guide was awesome she new everything you wanted to know about the history of Seattle. Would definitely recommend this tour .
I was disappointed initially because the doorway advertised a haunted tour, which I hadn't signed up for. But Beneath the Streets just shares space with that company. Tour was interesting and guide Richard was fun.
Thursday afternoon tour, Mike was very knowledgeable and made it entertaining and interesting.Highly recommended
This tour takes you below and above the historic section of Seattle. The history is spellbinding and our tour guide was very entertaining. It was raining the day we went so there were some puddles to deal with so wear comfortable shoes that are appropriate for the weather. This is a walking tour but except for 2 sets of steps (not steep) this is an easy walk. You will never see Seattle the same way again after this tour...we really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to visitors and especially to locals who do not know the rich history of the city.
Our guide was amazing! Couldn't have been better. He knew so much history it made for a BETTER TOUR THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
Patty was a great tour guide who had interesting information! The pictures were nice to view and see the changes that had happened to Seattle in addition to learning about the history!
Jennifer was exceptional. Extremely good knowledge of history of Seattle and ability to answer all questions from our small group. Highly recommend this tour to all visitors to Seattle area.
