We booked this tour the day before we were departing and I wished it would have been sooner. Vanessa is a great ambassador of the city and extremely knowledgeable of underground tunnels. It is a must see tour and an unforgettable experience you will not regret. Let her wow you with even the most minute details and access beyond your expectations. THANK YOU ASTROVILLE!!!

My favourite part of my trip to Houston, Texas, was walking through the downtown Houston tunnel system with a friend. Because it was so hot and uncomfortable outside, the climate in the tunnel was refreshingly cool. I observed a lot of offices, restaurants, conference spaces, cafes, hotels, and display rooms, and I was particularly impressed with the engineering and pedestrian walkways. We were told that the tunnel is 20 feet below the earth's surface, 6 miles long, and connects to over 90 city blocks. As I walked, I wondered, "What if the tunnel collapses?" 🤣 My friend and I were bored of walking to the end of the tunnel, so we had to turn around and go home. I'm still thinking about the tunnel as I type this message. It was a pleasure to tour this tunnel. ❤️

Astrid Solis | Nov 6, 2017
Marchell Mascheck | Nov 6, 2017

Central Biz District tunnels are clear--never flooded. Theatre District tunnels are spotty--call the Theatre for specifics

Is it flooded now?

Marie Eggart | Nov 6, 2017
Marchell Mascheck | Nov 6, 2017

Spaghetti Warehouse is underwater along with the Theatre District so I would assume the tunnels are not safe. I suggest contacting the JW Marriott for more info.

Alyssa Moreno | Nov 5, 2020
Tommy Tietjen | Nov 5, 2020

No It's just a tunnels with several section of a food court areas more designed for corporate workers to have lunch there and some occasional convenient stores like gift shops and places to cut hair. Don't recommend it for young teenagers since it's not a place for young shoppers.

So im confused is it like a mall or just to walk and are there stores like clothing stores

Brandy Alanis | Nov 6, 2019
Mikel Montserrat | Nov 6, 2019

It's a set of tunnels, most of them connected, that link different buildings from the underground. There are mainly restaurants and other food suppliers. Some other services can also be found in the tunnels such as hair salons. In order to find clothing stores you need to go "upstairs" to the malls that can be reached from the tunnels.
