Fun and informative - Took my 24-year-old niece. We’re both native Houstonians but had never explored the downtown tunnel system. Tour guide Diana was super-friendly, knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed the 2+ hour experience immensely and highly recommended it to visitors and native Houstonians alike!

Hidden Knowledge - Very interesting! Learned a lot about the tunnels and overall history. Diana was amazing, informative and personable. Highly recommend this tour. You will need the ability to walk unassisted and go up/down escalators and stairs.

Outstanding and unexpected experience. - This walking tour is one that we discovered whilst in Houston. Our tour guide, Diana was very good. She was very enthusiastic and provide us with lots of information and history about Houston. A surprising and unexpected thing about Houston is that is has a large underground tunnel network in the downtown area which starting in the 1930's and now continues to connect building for more than 6 miles. The tunnels help the local workers to move from one building to another, use cafes, restaurants, Dentists, Doctors and other professional facilities underground and out of the heat.

Not to be trusted - The guide never showed up and no one picked up the phone when called. We waited more than thirty minutes at the meeting point.
