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.

Our tour guide was an enthusiastic story teller and passionate about her job. It was interesting to hear about the detail taken to rebuild the city after the fire.

This was nothing like what I imagined. I thought it was a city underneath the city. It was sorta like going into the basement of different buildings. Now the tour guide (I forget her name) was wondering and she shared great information with us.

If you have an hour and want to learn some history about Seattle, take this tour! It’s a pleasant and informative walking experience that offers a great perspective on the city’s past. Be sure to wear your walking shoes—there’s a bit of ground to cover, and you will be standing for at least 45min. Highly recommend for curious explorers!
Fun tour

It was really interesting. Mike is a wealth of knowledge on Seattle, plus he’s really funny. I loved learning about how the city was built, and my kid was also fascinated by it as well. Definitely recommend.

This was a fun experience and learned quite a bit of the city up top and below. Would have enjoyed more of a theme but overall a pleasant experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and funny too!
