Beautiful, unforgettable experience of Houston’s history led by Diana, the best guide on the planet!

Published on Feb, 2025

My mom and I have lived in the Houston area for over 24 years now, but we love exploring the city because there are so many incredible things to discover and learn about, and this tour sounded right up our alley! And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint!! Diana was our tour guide; her earnest passion for art and history along with her fun, sweet nature made us feel like she was a beloved family friend we’d known for years. She possesses a very unique, rare kind of character, combining a vast breadth of knowledge, sense of humor, and engaging personality: a certain je ne sais quoi that truly enhances the entire tour experience for everyone spanning first time visitors to dyed-in-the-wool Houstonians. Her guidance through the historic tunnels and buildings was perfectly paced and accessible for everyone in our group; she was keenly attuned to both our individual and collective needs, from having a thoughtful answers to every question to making sure anyone who may have required mobility assistance felt comfortable. From my own experience living with chronic pain, I can attest to fact that although a good deal of walking is involved, I never once felt overly fatigued, rushed, or in pain. I cannot sing her praises enough—she IS the tour, and she fully embodies the inimitable spirit of the city of Houston! My mom and I learned so many new fascinating factoids about Houston through Diana’s detail-oriented wisdom, and we left the tour feeling prouder of our city than ever before. If you are someone who appreciates the beautiful artistry and historical significance of architecture, or simply wants to enjoy some of the lesser known yet iconic features of the city, I absolutely guarantee you will LOVE this tour! You undoubtedly get your money’s worth and so, so much more! This was an extraordinarily memorable experience for my mom and I, and we hope that others get the chance to have an unforgettable adventure like ours!

A Must See in Houston!

Diana was amazing! She was super knowledgeable, friendly and a great guide. Highly recommend tour. We felt like we were invited to an exclusive hidden jewel under Houston. Great history of Houston buildings and tunnel network.

Diana was very knowledgeable and very friendly! I would request her again! Houston is a beautiful city!
