My children and I went on this tour back in February, and it was a great way to learn about Houston while taking photos at some really cool locations too! The tunnels felt like a whole city underneath Houston with beautiful air-conditioned buildings, restaurants, amenities, and little boutique shops. We had our tour guide Dan all to ourselves and I must say he was informative and entertaining with his knowledge of Houston as well as the tunnel system's impact on the city. We were surprised with how the Houston tunnels basically serve as the essential part of the city's business center during hot summer days or Houston storms. We also saw tons of beautiful architecture including the tallest building in Texas. One of the coolest things though was PLAYING PING-PONG in the tunnels and seeing corporate workers do their workouts in the tunnel fitness centers, I couldn't believe it and thought it was cool as heck. We would definitely recommend and hope to do another Astroville tour on our next stop to Houston.

My husband and I were in Houston for the first time and were looking for a way to find out more about the city, we decided to call Astroville Tours, which we found on trip advisor. We learned so much about the city from our tour guide Vanessa. It is so much more than just the tunnels which are awesome in their own right, but to learn about the history of the architecture I the city. The tour description does not justify how awesome and informative this tour is and Vanessa is so knowledgeable, she even gave us recommendations for the best places to eat in downtown. When in Houston visiting or even a resident of Houston, I would book a tour with Vanessa, as you will not look at the city the same again. Once again thank you so much Vanessa 😊

My family was the only one so we had a private tour. Our guide was informative, pleasant, and patiently answered our questions about the city. He took our picture at several stops. I appreciated having some pictures of all of us together. It was a fair amount of walking but comfortable since most of it was in the tunnels.
