Diana was our guide and super awesome! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. I’ve lived in TX for 12 years and had no idea about this underground system. Very cool! We ate lunch before leaving :)

Wonderful tour full of the history and stories of Houston. See beautiful lobbies of some of the historic buildings. Diana was a great tour guide. Totally worth the reasonable cost of this tour!

Diana is AMAZING!! She has vast knowledge of downtown Houston history! And she is witty and has an incredible personality
I couldn’t have asked for a better tour. We had a great time and I wish I could have bottled up all the details she shared! Houston is rich in history and beautiful architecture
Thank you for making it special 🩷

Great tour with Diana. Very knowledge about the history of the tunnels and Houston. Can do the tour with no stairs. Ramps, elevators, and escalators.

Lots of walking with an employee who LOVED sharing the history and details (they knew) of the places we visited. It was a prefect time to go underground and see so much activity that is NOT apparent above ground. LOTS of food around each corner so when you are done, re-trace your steps to the one you want. We went back for some AMAZING fresh pasta before we went above ground.
We used a 3 hour parking valet spot at the Courtyard By Marriott and had plenty of time for the tour, lunch and a walk back to vehicle.
