Downtown Tunnel Walking Tour

Starting at the Convention and Visitors Center, spend a leisurely 2.5 to 3.5 hours walking through downtown Houston to look at and study the architecture and history of the buildings, style, and the movers and shakers of Houston.

Begin by walking through the oldest park in Houston and view 8 homes and 1 church that were built between 1823 and 1905 and walk into a reconstructed 1878 general store.  Walk through 4 different tunnels, 3 skybridges, to a skyscraper, and up to the 58th & 59th floor observation decks. See the two tallest buildings outside New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. View the reflection of the wedding cake building.   See the interior of buildings, including a 1926 library & a 1947 bank building, each of which are on the National Register of Historical Places.  Walk on a rooftop and look at the street beneath you.  View public folk art including New Deal murals.

We also offer two additional downtown walking tours:

• Theater district and historic buildings
• Business district

You may wish to have lunch at a food court with dozens of options, or a Cajun restaurant in a church.
