Well worth doing - Wonderful and very informative tour. Inside most of the time in air conditioning. Learned about many of the fabulous buildings in downtown Houston. You'll know more than many of the people who live in Houston.

Loved it! - We did the tunnel tour with Diana. She was excellent: wealth of knowledge delivered in a voice we could all hear, she welcomed questions, she is very personable. I would highly recommend her for any tour and to anyone. I’m a Houstonian & brought a guest from Ohio: we BOTH learned facts about the history of Houston!!

Don't miss this hidden treasure - Diana wowed us with her extensive knowledge of the Houston tunnels. It was so interesting to learn every detail about this destination. As frequent visitors to Houston, we learned more information about an area that we pretty much knew nothing. Her incredible knowledge and attitude made this tour so enjoyable. It was a rainy day and the perfect activity. would totally recommend for visitors of all ages.

Best Tour. Incredible pricing. - At first I came with not a lot of expectations because the price was so “cheap”. But it was really nice. Our guide Diana had a lot of knowledge and was very welcoming. Thank you. For information: it is a 2 hour WALKING tour as described. You will not be in a car or any other transportation device.

A different way to experience the city! - Diana was a great tour guide. Super cool vibe, very knowledgeable. We learned a lot. It wasn’t two hours of walking, so don’t worry about that. We stopped at least 10-15 times for a few minutes to hear about that area or building. The thing I personally loved the most about her was her fierce love for the multicultural people of Houston and their contributions. Unique way to spend a couple hours.
