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.

amazing...it is best underground tur
Underground weird photo. – I was this past weekend with my boyfriend in Seattle taking the underground tour and I capture this photo.
Skip it ! – An opportunity for the guides to practice their canned stand-up routines.
boringggg – It was soo boring, It was like being in someones gross basement. It was a waste of money. Yah you may learn a bit but its not enjoyable one bit...Sorry seattle!
Encounter in the Underground – I live in Kentucky and I went to Seattle and to the underground tour on 9/30/2008 and what an experience! It was one of the best tours I have ever been on at any city! I am origanly from Savannah, GA and being from there I have been on many the tour of city history. I have to say though, never experiencing what I did in Seattle. Being underground at the door way into the area where the "seamtresses" were said to work, I was felt like and thought my husband had grabbed me on the arm by my elbow ... read more
Fun for tourists, interesting facts...can be smelly – So what the people who rated the tour with low stars said is actually true...it seems like a bunch of smelly basements, not so much physical history. However, if you are into looking at really old stuff and hearing about the past, it is cool. The tour guides make the tour because they recreate the past as you walk through the passages by telling stories, usually funny. I feel like the tour should be priced in the $7-10 range though...Oh, and don't plan on using a cell pho... read more
Huge waste of 90 minutes, not worth $14 – This tour was terrible, I wouldn't bring any guests or friends through this if I wanted to keep in touch after their trip. The humor was crude and certainly not appropriate for children under 12, but everyone on the tour seemed to get bored within the first 10-15 minutes. It felt like I was walking through an unfinished construction site with a few random photos hanging up, I kept waiting for the tour to really get started and something interesting to happen, but the next thing I kne... read more
It's a good tour to learn Seattle history – I went with my family when my grandfather was in town. I thought the tour was good...it wasn't all that expected...it's kind of redundant in the sites that you see. But it is strill really a good opportunity to learn about Seattle's past...like the great fire...and see some of the remains of old buildings and other relics. The tour guides are very nice and the tour is very informative.
A tour beneath Seattle's streets reveals the real dirt on the city's often unclean past. – The Experience In the mid-'60s, Bill Speidel wrote about the possible existence of "passageways beneath the city." The idea proved so popular that Speidel decided to provide tours of this mysterious underground. Wind through long-abandoned storefronts under Seattle's streets while getting a slice of history. The Appeal Though the tour itself requires a great deal of imagination to "see" the stores of the early 1900s as they might have ... read more
