What a great tour. Vanessa was super friendly and knowledgeable. The time just seemed to fly. Highly recommended to learn about the tunnel system connecting the downtown core.

Thank you so much for the feedback Peter! Although y'all have something similar with the Underground City in Montreal, I hope getting an up-close perspective of the largest downtown tunnel system in the U.S. and the history/stories of the downtown buildings was also really cool as we certainly had a blast. If y'all ever do return to Houston or Texas, please don't hesitate to reach out to us for any recommendations/suggestions. Safe travels back to Canada!

I had the guide all to myself, which was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and clearly loves the city of Houston. It shows in his willingness to stop and explore and cater to the interests of the tourists. Definitely would recommend!

We had a great experience with the tunnel tour. Luis was super knowledgeable (and was asked some tough questions by our crowd) and super personable. We had no idea there is another city living under the streets of Houston. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Thank you so much for the feedback Lucy! Harvey, Mike, and you were so cool and knew so much about St. Louis/Atlanta that I felt like we were taking turns sharing fun facts/interesting points in each of our cities. We had a blast showing you around Htown and don't hesitate to reach back out to us if y'all ever come back for an Astros/Rockets game. Safe travels!
