Discovered a surprising array of upscale food, retail, and personal services under downtown streets. Our tour guide Jesse was very informative and personable. I really enjoyed seeing the various buildings and hearing about the history of each. Good stuff.

Thank you for the feedback James! We had a blast showing you around Downton and telling you all about the downtown tunnels, the city's history, and the different things that the city is doing with respect to construction and making it more residential-friendly! We hope you get to visit soon from Corpus perhaps for an Astros game or Rockets game. Happy new year & please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you ever need recommendations/suggestions for future trips back to Downtown Houston!

Vanessa took us through the tunnels like a pro. She had very interesting facts that she shared about the buildings that we visited. We loved seeing the historic buildings and the new additions. We recommend that you do this tour before you strike out on your own. You really could get lost. Lol
