Overview
Available languages

Mobile ticket
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.

5.00The tour was incredibly well-organized and full of great information. We learned so much about Seattle—it truly felt like stepping back in time. Check-in was quick and smooth, and everyone we met was kind and welcoming. Jennifer was especially wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does. My wife and I absolutely loved the experience, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting. Don’t miss it!
