Had the underground tunnel tour with Luis. It was great. If you are interested in building and history, this tour can be a great choice. Not only seen a lot of building but also learn the story behind it.

I did the underground tunnel tour on my second visit to Houston. It was the highlight of my trip! Vanessa and Luis were not only very knowledgeable about the city's history and architecture but also complimented it with interesting anecdotes which made it all the more fun. I was truly impressed with the beautiful Art Deco interior design of the Esperson building(rumored to be haunted!Haha). The newest portion of the tunnel is super cool with a bar,restaurants,and amenities for kids. I will definitely do another Astroville tour the next time I visit. Totally worth it!!

Hi Ladies, It was a pleasure having all of y'all on tour. You were all very lovely and a fun bunch of educational professionals, and I hope this tour was a cool eye-opening experience even though y'all are from the Houston area. I'm happy we were able to make this a special birthday, and we look forward to seeing y'all again in Downtown Houston soon! Perhaps for the Food Tour :)
