Overview

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.

We did the after hours red light district tour. Mike was AMAZING! I have never been on a tour better than this one with him. His passion for the city’s history was evident and made us even more excited to be here. I strongly urge everyone to take the tour. In addition to the tour guide, the staff at the desk were extremely sweet. I wish I got their names.

Wow, what a great experience. David D the tour was one of the best guides I have experienced, the information that he tried to overload us with was delivered with such humour that easily entertained an age group from about 7-70, the story of the city was fascinating. Thank you so much for a great introduction to seattle

Super informative, but we would’ve liked a bit more time to explore the area beneath the streets. We learned so much history, and the tour was a great pace. Dave had a fun sense of humor and good pacing. We didn’t really know what we were getting into, so research first. This is really a history of Seattle architectural development more than anything else.
