You cannot do the tour on your own. Each underground is locked, and the tour companies pay rent to the property owners to go through their tour route under each property. Helpful?

The 75-minute guided walking tour begins beneath Doc Maynard's Public House, then spills into historic Pioneer Square, Seattle's birthplace, before plunging underground for an exclusive, time-capsule view of the buried city.
If interested in history and seeing some of the underground, this is a great tour. Prior to taking the tour some reviews were saying they were disappointed that they didn't see more of the underground....but if they would have listened to the tour guide, they would understand why. I was not disappointed.
This is an absolute MUST while in Seattle – don't explore the market before you learn all the ins and outs of it first – you will appreciate it that much more when you finish the tour and go back in to get some goodies (with many discounted because of the tour!!)

I wouldn't recommend this tour for kids under ten, as it is quite long for little people. #6 Underground Paranormal Tour If you have kids 13 or older, this is a very cool experience. Become ghost hunters and discover paranormal experiences underneath Seattle. #7 The Seattle Great Wheel is a great way to see Seattle.

Well the revolution takes 45 minutes, so if you're going to eat in the restaurant (which then gets you a free ride up), you could take 45 minutes to sit and see everything. Obviously if you're walking around, even less!
