Bill Speidel’s Underground Tour

About this business
Pioneer Square is Seattle's oldest neighborhood, and it wasn't always a pleasant place to visit. The Bill Speidel’s Underground Tour takes visitors around Pioneer Square above ground and also to a hidden Seattle that now lies underground. About 25 square blocks of Pioneer Square have hollow spaces under the sidewalks, thanks to peculiarities of the reconstruction after the great Seattle fire of 1889.

Educational AND fun – The Seattle Underground tour was very interesting. We learned a lot about Seattle's bizarre history and it was a lot of fun. If you live in Seattle or are visiting I would suggest taking this tour. You'll be amazed at the strange things you'll learn about Seattle. Warning, you do climb up and down stairs and walk through underground tunnels and end up in smelly alleys so wear appropriate shoes.
Basements and Alleys – I cannot tell you why we spent 14 dollars to spend a beautiful sunny day looking at used basements and urine reeking alley ways..not a tour for those afraid of rats. We expected a glimse at an underground city to say it was a dissapointment is an understatement..just visit the giftshop and call it good.
Love this tour – I alway take my out of town guest on this tour. It is definitely a different take on Seattle. You have to have a good imagination to really appreciate it though since the most of the locations are just triggers for the stories. If you have a corny sense of humor, which I do, you will enjoy it even more. Be aware that if you go more than once it is the same or very similar each time. Guides don't really put their own spin on it. Adults will appreciate it kids under 12 to 14 won't.
it's freakin remodeled! – the editorial review there is a bit outdated, it is a very cool spot now with new decor. they have more than just rock bands also, i would recommend it as a place to check out, especially with the joint cover deal! have fun.
See it before it's completely gone. – After living in Seattle for 11 years, I only experienced this tour recently. I'm sorry I waited. It's FUN! I was concerned after reading the "don't waste your money" reviews, but after experiencing it for myself, I chalk up those reviews to individuals with way-too-high expectations. The main reason I'm sorry I waited so long is that the guides told us the tour area has been shrinking steadily since 1990 due to private buildilng/land owners reclaiming those underground spaces for their o... read more
Don't waste your money. – The first 15 minutes you sit in a room as they go over the history of Seattle. This part was very interesting. Then they take you through a couple of grimy basements and that's it. If you are interested in the history of Seattle, spend your nine bucks on a book and skip this stupid tour.
Wonderful. Funny Tour – This is a great tour, for visitors and locals. The tour leaders are great about making it an informative and funny experience. Well worth it!
Really? – Informative, entertaining, a must particularly for first timers who wish to know more than where Nordstroms is located. Quick witted staff that was informative and entertaining. History of Seattle is colorful. Moves quickly and is a great 1 1/2 hours. In a neighborhood you might not get to otherwise. A must!
fun and informative (the first time) – i had lived in seattle for several years before i finally ventured on the underground tour. since then i have taken the tour several more times with visiting friends and relatives. admittedly, it does get old after the second time - the jokes are written into the script, so you hear the same puns over and over. however, the first time it is very informative and mildly amusing. it's cool to walk underneath the square - double entendre intended. it's a good alternative for some hot seattl... read more
