Awesome Experience!!

It’s a whole other world in the tunnels. I’ve live in Houston for 40 years and never knew the extent of this system. Our tour guide, Diana, was awesome. She was well-spoken, energetic, friendly, full of details and facts, fun to listen to, and spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.
