Super interesting underground area, and could have been awesome tour, but tour guides seemed more interested in their comedy act than giving much historical information. We just rushed through some very cool areas without any context at all. I had to do a Google search after the tour to figure out the history of what I had seen.

I mean it's good, but as the underground areas are being slowly filled in / renovated and there's no protections it feels like the tours days are numbered and a lot of what's left just looks like crumbly basements rather than former "underground" streets. The guides are excellent, without their stories it wouldn't be half what it is. Go see while you still can however!

We went on this tour in August when the weather was a bit overcast so this was the perfect option for a day that was best spent indoors. The tour was led by the most entertaining Dean who had us all laughing throughout the tour. The history that is recounted during the tour is really fascinating; hard to believe that the city was built up from a tidal swamp but you are shown the evidence from underground. Very educational and fun - highly recommended for nearly all ages (perhaps not very young children as they wouldn't get all the jokes!!).

Went on this tour twice. The first time around I had a great time and the tour guide knew a lot of facts. I left the tour knowing a lot more about the history of Seattle and felt I got my money worth in facts and knowledge, along with a one of a kind look at the Underground of Pioneer Square. This was in 2017. This year I went back with my brother when he was visiting Seattle as I felt it would be a great addition to his itinerary to learn more about the city. I was floored at how much it had changed. The tour overall was far less factual and had a lot of moments that left me cringing at the choice I had made. My brother left not really learning a whole lot and only remarked about how much the guide could not rap. They seem now to be far more focused on entertaining the group more than giving actual facts about what we are seeing. I felt ripped off honestly. I ended up having to add in a lot of the information myself for him during the tour. I tried to send my feedback but it went unanswered. I'd say give this tour a go still but your results may vary.

Dean was hilarious! An outstanding guide and really played to the crowd. Tons of history mixed in with the puns and quick witted jokes. My only recommendation is that some people want to take photos and thus spending an extra minutes or two past the history lesson may be beneficial. Or, maybe the photographers just need to be quick.
