Thank you so much for the feedback Pat! It was a pleasure having you on tour with us, and I know y'all loved the tunnels and architecture we saw as well as the oldest bank/tallest building in Texas! During your stay in Houston, please don't hesitate to reach out to us for any recommendations/suggestions. Hopefully we get to catch up at the Astros-Mets game in April!

It is a good experience to have Luis and Vanessa to be our guide on our first visit to Houston. It is a good learning experience. We would recommend this tour to our friends.

We do apologize that we only offer the tour in English/Spanish (not Chinese). Also, please note that we shortened the tour route due to your very limited mobility, as perhaps this is the reason why you didn’t get the full Tunnel experience. Our team is always working hard to make our tours the best in Downtown Houston, and we're sorry that you did not have a 5-star experience with us. Please feel free to give us a call directly and let us know what we may improve to make this a 5-star experience as well as enhance your tour experience with Astroville Tours. Safe travels back to China Daniel!

We had the benefit of both Vanessa & Luis for this fascinating insight into Houston 'underground' Both our guides were knowledgeable and interesting, providing loads of background info as well as explaining the what, why and when of numerous buildings and establishments along the way. You are mostly indoors so a great tour in hot or cold or wet weather. It was great fun, and Vanessa and Luis are infectiously enthusiastic about their city while not being dewey eyed, giving lots of useful background and history. Thoroughly recommend this tour especially if you are in Houston for a short time as we were.

Thank you so much for the feedback Jonathon! It was a pleasure having you & Ruth on tour with us, and I know y'all loved the tunnels and architecture we saw as well as the oldest bank/tallest building in Texas! If you do return to Houston, please don't hesitate to reach out to us for any recommendations/suggestions. Safe travels back to London and may god continue to bless both of you!
