The Bill Speidel Underground tour offers an interesting story in a fun way. There are many reviews on here that say the jokes in this tour are horrible, perhaps it was my tour guide, but aside from a few puns their jokes were fine. The tour keeps you interested from beginning to end. I'd recommend getting your tickets in advance... more

I've been to Seattle a bit, thought I saw most of what there was to see. But then I took this tour, and I realized you can't walk around the city and think you know it unless you take this tour! It's SO historically informative, but not boring. In fact, our tour guide was pretty hilarious most of the time!... more

This is a great way to do something different, have some fun and learn Seattle history at the same time! It was a comic presentation so to speak and very interesting. Since we've taken it I think many ciites have a similar story to tell. more

If I could give this place a negative 5 stars I would. Everybody, every website and every article said this is a must if its your first time in Seattle. This was by far the most uninteresting and worst part of my trip. Thank goodness it was only an hour long. This place is overpriced for what you get even... more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Bob Speidel's Underground Tour of Seattle. Although the tour leaders kept the group laughing, we all learned quite a lot about Seattle history. Architecture enthusiasts would also appreciate this tour. It was well worth the $9 ticket price for the walking tour. If we had more time, we certainly would have done the $25... more

My husband and I had hopes that this would be a very interesting history lesson and show us a few unique and little seen areas of the city. We did see the underground--I'll save you the price of admission--it looks like and smells like your grandma's basement if her house was built anytime during the early 20th century. As for... more

My husband and I opted for the more "adult" version of the trip. Its $21 per person but that includes the tour and a cocktail at the end. Our tour guide was HILARIOUS! He was giving us all of the historical details while making it fun and interesting with his comedy. The adult version has more of the "red light... more

My Husband and I recently returned from a vacation in Seattle and took Bill Speidel's Underground Tour. We would both highly recommend it. The tour is very interesting and is not very long. It tells you a lot about the history of Seattle and so if you are interested in learning more about Seattle, then it is a great tour... more

If you want a history lesson of the origins of Seattle with a lot of quips, this is for you. My 15 year old thought it was boring. Quite a bit of standing around as we walked from spot to spot underground amid the rubble, waiting for the next bit of explaination as to why something was significant. There are... more
