“Consider all your options first”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 2, 2012

If you go to the website and are expecting everything they explain you will be greatly disappointed. http://www.houstonurbanadventures.com/Houston_tour_historic_downtown_pub_crawl We were. I did this tour for my mom’s Birthday, wanted to do something different. The tour states it will end at Lancaster hotel, ENTIRELY FALSE,... More

“Exhilarating!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 23, 2012

We took the Heart of the Tunnels Walk, and the guide, Sandra was awesome! Her knowlege of Houston and the tunnel systems is amazing. We were introduced to facts and sights that we, as Houstonians, had never been exposed to. Wonderful! More

“Fun way to explore!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2012

I'd heard about the downtown tunnels and had always wanted to check them out, so when the Groupon arrived in my inbox, I jumped at the opportunity. Sandra knew so much about everything we saw. It was a great time. Looking forward to trying the pub crawl next time! More

“Not up to par with other walking tours we have done.”

The tour started off fine, (excellent info about the tall building of Houston downtown) but we were disappointed in it because we got literally no historical information about Houston. The tour is 3 hours. 45 minutes is planned for lunch in a tunnel food court. 40 minutes is planned at the visitor's center, watching the free movie about Houston. The... More

We have lived in Houston for 8 years and discovered many new facts about this fascinating city underground via the tunnel system and skywalks thanks to Sharon. She was our guide and was full of information. We met at the historic Lancaster Hotel, toured the tunnel system, checked out the skyline from the Chase 60th floor observatory, ate in the... More
