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.Luis and Vanessa provide one of the most professional tour experiences you can be a part of. From the knowledge of the city to the genuine fun they brought, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
