Houston Urban Adventures
Day tours, with a local
Downtown is the heart of Houston, Texas’s largest city. We love our seven-mile, air-conditioned Tunnel System; our Visitors Center – one of the largest in the U.S.; our Theater District, featuring all the performing arts in one walkable area; our stadiums, offering baseball, basketball, and soccer. We love green, from our free Greenlink Connector shuttle to our LEED-certified skyscrapers to our parks. And we love to eat out more than anyone in the U.S., savoring BBQ to Bombay pizza, fajitas to feta, and sushi to salads. We’d love to say “howdy” to you, so join us on an Urban Adventure and find out why Texas means Friendly.

23 May 2013 Downtown Houston rocks! Michael was at his best May 17th! His personality shined with the level of enthusiasm that capped the evening. We were sorry our friends could not join us...their loss...but we made four new friends from Pearland, Katy and Cypress(five, including Michael). The facts and details were terrific...a memorable evening, and one of the nicest evenings to be on the streets of downtown Houston. It's nice to get an update of its revitalization, especially with Super Bowl LI now on the horizon.... Michael, thank you for sharing your favorite secret place with us...can't wait to return and hope we bump into you on the street!

21 May 2013 The Tunnel Tour was very good & enjoyable, & Ron was very knowledgable. I saw little point in stopping for lunch, as the Tour ended 15 minutes later. I guess it gives the restaurants business.
