Heart of the Tunnel walks kick off at 10:30 a.m. weekdays at Georgia’s Market on Main Street and then move to Chase Tower, where groups ride the elevator to the 60th floor for photo opportunities and independent debunking of the earth’s supposed curvature. Afterward, groups head into a tunnel system leading to the 1929 Chase Building. Additional stops include a stained-glass window depicting the Battle of San Jacinto in the Chase Building, Houston City Hall's visitors' center, an underground food court for a bite, and Pennzoil Place.

Houston Urban Adventures

When Sandra Lord first visited Houston in 1984, she only planned to stay a month. But the city's diverse community, rich history, and distinctive architecture quickly lured her in, and nearly 30 years later, the cheerful history buff still resides in the Emerald City. Today, she partners with Urban Adventures—an international touring company—to share her love of the city through exciting and informative walking tours of Houston’s underground tunnel system and historical local pubs. Locals have nicknamed Sandra “The Tunnel Lady,” as she was one of the first guides to introduce tourists to the city’s subterranean system of shops and restaurants, originally constructed to shield commuters from the hot Houston sun and the stray hacky-sacks of med students on study breaks.
