Exceptional tour of Houston! This was a great introduction into the city. Our guide was knowledgeable and showed off the city so well. Of all our other activities and tours during our trip this was the best and I would recommend to anyone visiting. Wish we had done this earlier on our trip.

My wife and I booked a private food tunnel tour and invited our Houstonian friends. Our star guide Vanesa was very informative and took us to many places in the tunnel system that we would have not found ourselves. Along the walk we had several stops tasting foods from all over. We did not have a favorite stop because all of them were excellent. Our private tour was booked a month ahead by contacting them. Highly recommend if you are wanting to stay out of the Texas heat and want to see the city from a different perspective.sambW578WL

Excellent tour to get to know the history and Architecture of Downtown Houston . There is not much to do in Downtown Houston especially on the weekend so this tour is something you want to must do while in Downtown. The tour person was very nice and knowledgeable I recommend the tour
