Bill Speidel's Underground Tour

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 and when I looked down he was not touching me, he wasn't even where he should have been to have touched me there. No one was. I heard stories of many places being haunted or whatever being from an old city myself but that I have to say was my first time ever something of that nature happening to me. I can't wait to go to seattle again and doing the tour again to next time bring a camera and see if i can get a picture of proof of my experience of the Seattle underground. I recommend this tour to everyone!!…

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 phone or talking to your friends while the guide talks. They are SUPER proactive about that and they'll stop everything to tell you to knock it off. We had 'public cell phone talking guy' on our tour and I was so nervous about getting stuck by him but it turned out to not matter. They shut him up after the second time of asking him to stop. One last thing...we got the mini burgers as a snack before the tour. I would definitely skip the food at that place. The burgers honestly tasted like plastic. Save your appetite for some of the cooler places that are right around there.…

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 knew the tour guide was requesting a tip and left us in a gift shop. After the second dip underground, most of the people around me were commenting that they were ready to leave, and I can't help but assume that the majority of tourists walked away feeling like they'd been ripped off. The $14 price tag is a huge ripoff and there are much better ways to spend 90 minutes in Seattle.…
