Enjoyed this tour from start to finish. Ricky was engaging and entertaining from the tunnels to the city culture to the architecture, he made it an experience to remember. This also explains why Downtown Houston can look empty on a lot of days meanwhile everyone and many businesses are found beneath ground. Some good recommendations also provided for things to do and restaurants to try in Houston. I would recommend to do this tour early off on the trip

Hello Bryan, We appreciate your time in joining us on tour as well as writing this spectacular review. I will be sure to forward your compliments to Guide Ricky. Our tour does a great job in showing off all the must-sees in the tunnels which includes history, architecture, and sight-seeing while mainly staying in the air condition. We look forward to having you back on tour real soon!

This tour is very varied and Vanessa is a lively and knowledgeable guide. You get some sense of the scale of the massive tunnel network under the city but also get to see some amazing interiors of historic skyscrapers and modern classic architecture. There are quirky lifts and it's interesting to see the city's flood defences and damage caused in recent flooding. Vanessa takes and sends you some great photos of the group. And most of the tour is literally cool! Loved it.
