This tour came highly recommended by my sister that has lived in Houston for over 25 years. While we had family visiting from Europe they wanted to check-out unique tours in each city they visited while in Texas. This by far was our whole groups favorite tour. Our guide was a real "Southern Belle" and lead us through the tunnels like a pro! We found out that most Houstonians don't know about the tunnels. The buildings, stories, and pictures on tour are fabulous. My nephew had been working in downtown for a couple of years and he had blown away by this tour. Plan to gift gift-certificates this Christmas to my Houston family.

We had a great time. Vanessa was very knowledgeable about Houston and the tunnels. We learned a lot and it was entertaining. She really went over and above expectations. She knew everyone's name and followed up after the tour by sending the pictures she snapped and text with tips on what other things to do in Houston. Be sure to pay attention, she talks fast. We highly recommend this tour.

My husband and I really enjoyed Vanessa as a tour guide. Not only was she very passionate and knowledgeable, but she made the history of the Houston tunnels and skyscrapers interesting especially the Esperson Building with her storytelling and passion. We ended up getting something to eat in tunnels after your and returning to the old Bank building since we were staying right next door at JW Marriott. This is a fabulous way to start your day in Houston
