Our guide was great, very lively, painted a neat history of Seattle. We gained a ton of knowledge and better understanding of how the city started.

Very dull and not what the reviews led us to expect. Only the first underground stop was interesting, the other two looked like basements being renovated; I have one of those at home. The guide's 'narration' seemed muddled with a lot of scattered information, delivered in a voice so shrill it became annoying to listen. Also, our guide could not find her key to access one of the intended underground stops so we never even saw that one. I would estimate that about 65% of our overall' tour time' was in fact above ground, not underground. At the end, we came away from this tour feeling that: a) we had wasted our time and our money b) 15 minutes spent on Wikipedia would have made us better informed about Seattle's underground history than this one-hour tour did c) surely this could not be the same tour that had garnered decent reviews? d) we wished we had gone to almost any other Seattle attraction instead of this dud. My girlfriend who accompanied me on this tour concurs 100% with the above summary.What a great tour! Seattle has such a fascinating history. Highly recommend this tour. It’s quick, but super informative and it’s awesome to walk through the underground and imagine life so many years ago. Our tour guide was phenomenal as well.
