Vanessa was both professional and engaging. I completely enjoyed the tour. And, like most Houstonians, my local host has not been in the tunnels! The fun facts and tidbits we learned about each building was worth the price of admission!

JORGE_T

We did not expect a marvelous engineering work of art like the Houston tunnels. In addition, Vanessa, our tour guide, was simply excellent!

California_momofsix

Another huge two thumbs up for the tunnel tour and especially for our tour guide Vanessa!!! The tour was interesting, with a good mix of information about architecture, history, human interest stories, food suggestions and a look at what makes the Houston underground tunnel system so unique. But Vanessa really took the experience to another level. She texted us prior to our arrival to ensure we knew where to meet her. While walking she spent a few minutes making a personal connection with each participant. She offered to take pictures and even brought a Texas flag as a prop. I was impressed that she knew almost everyone we met in the tunnels. After the tour she texted us with further suggestions of what else to see and where to eat. Don't miss this insider look at Houston, highly recommend.

I've lived in Houston since 1986 and had family come in town and decided to take them on this tour. Very informative, lots of cool information, and great idea for our rainy or hot and humid days here. Vanessa our guide was very personable, she's done her research with speaking to building owners, engineers, employees to get different facts and juicy tidbits of how our city came to be. Well worth the money and time.
