Great but long...our guide was amazing and funny (Adam I think). Tour was very informative about the underground history of Seattle. Several stairs for those that have walking issues. Fairly priced. Don't forget to tip tour guide.

We could not recommend this tour enough!! And Jim Arnold was an absolutely fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, very funny, able to easily wrangle a large tour group complete with some little kids running around. Really just an all around very interesting and informative fun little touristy thing to do while we were visiting. Thanks Jim!!

The tour guide was great - crazy good energy...

What an unforgettable experience! If you're in Seattle, the **Beneath the Streets** tour is an absolute must, and I can't recommend it enough. Our tour guide, **Richard**, truly made the whole experience. From the moment we met him, his friendly and funny personality made us feel right at home. He had this perfect mix of humor, knowledge, and storytelling that kept the tour engaging from start to...
The tunnels stay about 55°F year-round—bring a light jacket even on warm days. In winter, wear waterproof shoes for the walk from Pioneer Square.
