Top Houston Cultural Tours - page 3

This is a great way to learn about the history of Houston and to get some exercise. We will enter buildings from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1970s, 1980s, and 2020s. We will walk over 5,000 steps. This is a moderate walk on level ground in air-conditioned and heated tunnels. These are the most clean and pristine public tunnels in all of the US. We will be stopping about every 5 minutes to look at and go into 7 to 11 buildings. These are safe and well-illuminated. In the summer of 2023, Accuweather and the local Channel 13/ABC affiliate interviewed me about these tunnel tours for activities to do on hot and humid days when you do not want to be outside.

Corpus Christi (CC) is 208 miles/335 kilometers southeast from downtown Houston. Including 1 stop for a bathroom, refreshment and souvenir break, the drive each way is approximately 3.5 hours. Thus, we will spend about 7 hours driving to and from CC. We will take a slightly different return route so we can show you more sites. You will have many visual stimuli as we drive through a portion of the south Texas dessert with mesquite trees, and gravel replacing grass. We will drive through the wetlands surrounding CC and then into the subtropical Corpus. We will pass hundreds of windmills as we approach the coastal CC. Corpus Christi is almost always more windy, humid, and a few degrees warmer than Houston. Dress appropriately. Your van has a drop down movie screen. We have 5 Selena movies and documentaries to show as well as her Greatest Hits to play during your travels. Just tell us what you want.

The Alamo has been immortalized in legend and movies and the San Antonio River Walk is a romantic and arguably exotic place to eat and relax. Here you have the opportunity to have 2 great cultural and historical experiences in 1 day.
