100% recommend this Houston tunnel tour. I've been going to Houston during this time of year for +20 years and thought I had seen all there was in the city. Not so much.. I learned more about the city in 2 hours than I had known previously. Down below, we encountered shops, restaurants, historical plaques, gyms and games for the corporate workers. But the most interesting part was learning about the history of the tunnel system connecting the tallest buildings in Texas and the technology which allows the tunnel system to withstand horrible hurricanes. This was a great activity to do before going to the Houston Rodeo and our guide Vanesa even guided us toward a centrally located Rail station to catch a train to NRG stadium. You could tell this was not Vanessa’s first rodeooo
