Full description

Take a journey back in time on a guided tour below the streets of Seattle. Explore over 4 city blocks of historic Pioneer Square and wander through 3 underground passageways originally constructed in the 1890s. Learn the history of Seattle's construction and about the tragedy that befell the city and its habitants along the way. Follow along as your guide regales you with fascinating true stories of how Seattle was born and the tragedies that befell it as it formed, including the Seattle Fire.

Beneath the Streets tour was awesome! Our guide Patti was fantastic. She was passionate and energetic and super friendly. She made the tour come alive. It was so fascinating to learn about the history of Seattle and the origins of the underground tunnels. This is a must-do if you're visiting Seattle. The tour lasted only an hour, but was packed with information. Short money and totally worth every penny.

The tour and history of Seattle underground is very interesting. Our guide was excellent. There were very few old photos, and I would have liked to see more. Maybe they could attempt to re-create what the shops would have looked like underground back in 1907. Beef up the entertainment value.

Jim was an excellent tour guide! Engaging, knowledgeable, funny, and confident. I knew nothing about Seattle’s unique history and loved getting to explore the historic Pioneer Square underground (but really it’s the former ground floor). Definitely a must for any first time visitor to the area. Thank you, Beneath the Streets!
