"I was pleasantly surprised to discover another part of Houston that I did not know existed. The Tunnels are such a vibrant and busy place full of life with all the restaurants and shops catering to the downtown employees that take advantage of such a convenient and easy to reach place to have lunch and enjoy some shopping and relaxation during their lunchtime.
During the tour, the view of the city from the Chase Tower was impressive and such an amazing contrast after we were walking deep into the interconnected walkways of the Downtown Tunnels." Cristobal Valdes, Consul General of Spain, 04-12-2012
