4.00It was a great tour, the only complaint is we couldn’t actually go down into the main tunnels as it was the weekend. So fyi don’t try to come after 6pm mon-fri or on weekends. But great guide, Victor was friendly, knowledgeable and was a great fit for our group! We started out at Market Square then continued to the first foodie stop a great little Phillipino restaurant. Excellent flavor! Then we proceeded to entrance of tunnels and given the history and layout. Next into a Cuban restaurant where more delicious food awaited. We then did a tour of the tallest building in Texas (well clipped recently by an Austin building by 23ft!) then made our way to Market Square again with the history of downtown and a 9/11 tie-in. Onwards next to a great Mexican food restaurant which was my favorite! Then we proceeded flavors were amazing snd the spicy margarita was excellent! Our last stop was some Italian desserts, the tiramisu was to die for, so creamy and light! I’d recommend but this was the last of this specific tour which was sad to hear. Definitely recommend a tunnel and foodie tour downtown Houston though, we learned so much! Great night, friendly group and great service! 👍👍👍🫶

5.00There a reason this tour has a five star rating. It's a great way to spend an evening in downtown Houston. There were 19 people in our group which concerned me. Vanessa did an outstanding job. She had many responsibilities. Planner.. I received a text message on the day of the tour asking about allergies and she provided a link for parking. Group leader expertly moving all participants from place to place. Tour guide were she stopped and told us fun facts about Houston. And, she spoke loudly so we could all hear. Waitress..she helped the servers so the food was delivered in a timely manner. She even spoke in fluent Spanish to two guests from Spain. On top of all of this we had the promised four food stops. My personal favorite was the first one where we had tacos with corn tortillas. It sounds simple but they were delicious. A fun and tasty evening.
Great experience

5.00In Houston for work, so GLAD our group did this tour. It was a fun and delicious way to learn about Houston while enjoying foods from all over the world. We also got to see the underground tunnel system which was so neat and explains why the city can look empty. Of ny favorite stops, the Chinese and Mexican were both tied as my favorites. The Italian restaurant had the best dessert and atmosphere with live music. Such a cool way to tour Houston!
Yummy Food & Good Times.

5.00Vanessa was an amazing tour guide and you can tell she loves calling Houston home. She made sure that each of us was hydrated (the water was greatly appreciated) and had the best experience at each stop! The food was yummy at each stop and the portions were just right. Definitely come with comfy shoes, an empty stomach, and a camera to snap pics of all the beautiful murals around the city.
This was wonderful food...

5.00This was wonderful food and walking tour of Houston. Vanessa did a great job leading the tour. The walk in the underground tunnels and throughout the City was super informative and interesting. There was plenty of delicious food so come hungry. We ended up taking to-go boxes from two of the restaurants. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour.
