Adriane was just amazing!! Kept us engaged the entire time. She is hilarious and super knowledgeable. Even if you have lived in Seattle for a long time, I bet you will learn something new during this tour. 100% recommend!

Such a fun and informative tour. Our guide was funny and knowledgeable. Many pics and drawings were used to help us understand more of what it was like in Seattle before and after the fire. Well worth the time and money.

Really fun tour. Had a very delightful and funny tour guide who used to be a summer counselor. Was very informative and very polite and very nice. The tour is like a total of 30 to 45 minutes with lots of stops where the tour guide explains the history of the place. Lots of stair climbing. But everything was very pleasant and paced well.

Absolutely awesome tour. Our guide, Rose, was wonderful! Engaging, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well priced and perfect for a rainy day. It was one of the highlights of the weekend. Great history and wonderful stories.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Where is the closest parking?

char jones | Aug 10, 2022
Eric Juengerman | Aug 11, 2022

We parked at the Butler Parking Garage on James Street (I think). I think all the parking garages around there look kind of "sketchy", including this one, but it was fine. It was kind of pricey. There was another parking lot Pioneer Square Public parking off of James. A closer examination of their pricing, it might have been a cheaper option if you stay less than 4 hours.

Is this tour more theatrical than historic? I find those types of tours so tacky and a waste of time. I don't need to be entertained while I'm learning about the history of a city.

Margaret Scanlan | Aug 10, 2022
Phillip Bagwell | Aug 11, 2022

As others have indicated, the information is conveyed in a way to make it fun and interesting rather than just a dry recitation of facts. It makes it easier to remember the key points and adds a feeling of what life was like back in early Seattle, both physically and politically. I found the tour very informative and enjoyable.

After a fall I have to use a walker. can I still go on the tour?

Richard Crow | Aug 10, 2022
William Fullmer | Aug 11, 2022

I have recently had multiple surgeries on my feet and have been in walker condition. I could have gone but you would need to be careful and slow. The ground is treacherously uneven. Stepping over multiple elevated walkways and going up and down stairs is also required. Someone who could help you with your walker has to accompany you. Lastly some of the stairs may require scooting up on your bottom.

I brought the ticket online as there was a groupon deal, make sure you give enough time after the purchase as it takes almost a day to reflect in their database. Then you need to book a slot with them either in person or via phone, as they claim that if the purchase is made online, they have very limited slots.
