This tour starts with a 20 minute history of the city, with a 90 minute tour of the underground with a very entertaining tour guide. This was a great way to see and learn about Seattle's downtown. Well worth the time and money, and would recommend to anyone!

Greedy tour and Leave the kids at home
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/15/08
The tour started off with brief history and comedy. The female guide was the only entertainment of the tour. Our tour guide looked like an alcoholic just strolling out of the bar. Our group had kids as young as 3 and as old as 12. His jokes and comments far from appropriate! So bottom line...there's a tour every hour from 12-6, roughly 100 people, 14.00 per ticket, mashed into groups of 45 per tour guide.
The tour guides were very entertaining and the history discussed was relevant and interesting. I can't say the sites were fantastic, and they could have talked a little bit more about certain aspects of Seattle's history, but overall, very enjoyable walking tour.
The tour guides were very funny. If you don't have a sense of humor and don't get what people are saying when they're sarcastic, then please don't go and ruin the tour for everyone else. Some of these one-star reviews are for the birds.
Anyway, we saw the largest erection in the west coast, saw the Seattle of yesteryear with ...

Waste of time and money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/31/08
The guides told rude jokes, didn't know very much about Seattle. Basically you pay 14 bucks a person to be led through a couple peoples basements where it smells nasty and some places have puddles. It's actually not a very long tour in terms of length. We ended up wanting the guide to hurry up and finish so we could go and do something fun ...

What a Joke!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/02/08
The tour guide knew little except to tell sexist and racist jokes and very little history. Go ahead... walk through a few lousy basements and then step out into an alley where "the puddles are there even when it doesn't rain". Trapped in a basement listening to some bitter person tell you how a few big companies that made Seattle great are just the evil of the world is a waste of $14.

The guides drove us crazy...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/18/08
Although filled with interesting information about Seattle's history, the Underground tour was overall a disappointment. Several guides told horrible jokes and herded the many tourists like cattle through the underground sections. The whole group found ourselves checking our watches and rolling our eyes. Time would be better spent reading a book about Seattle's history from the library.

What's with the price?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/08/07
Tour was better a few years ago. They have jacked the price way up, no more music at Doc Maynard (although they have never bothered to updated that on the web site), we couldn't get the drink special, and our guide was so boring. I won't be taking anymore quests to this tour.

This is a joke!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/15/07
Did not enjoy this tour at all. Not much to see in the way of old Seattle. The tour was over priced at $14.00 . A lot of toilet jokes a ten year old might find humorous. The worst part is upon leaving the gift shop at the end of the tour the guides sit by the tip jar and eye ball you for a tip as you exit. I don't mind tipping if the service is good.

SO MUCH FUN!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/06/07
I loved underground Seattle because they have people from the local comedy club come and give you the tour, so the jokes are HILARIOUS!And the gift shop at the end is awesome! I recommend getting the "smash a penny". And wear tennis shoes because it is kinda dirty. And when you first go down there, IT WREAKS! but it was so much fun.
