    Enjoyed hearing about the history of the underground tunnels and details about several notable buildings. Loved that the guide pointed out architectural details and design.

    For context: I am a local to the Houston area and know much of Texas and local history. That being said, Diana, our tour did a fantastic job! She covered at a high level historical events relevant to the region (e.g. 1900 hurricane that impacted Galveston) while not failing to point out the details of architectural and design mastery that went into making Houston's must opulent and impressive buildings. Would highly recommend for visitors and local of the area alike!
