    We had an AMAZING 🤩 time with tour guide Vanessa. We highly recommend this food tour!!!! Not only was the food really good, but we also loved learning fun facts about downtown Houston. We even experienced a portion of the the underground city through the tunnel system. Definitely broadened our horizons and where we would want to come back to visit on our next trip to downtown Houston. We also loved how Vanessa was so attentive to all of our needs to make sure we had the best experience possible. She kept the tour moving seamlessly. Our favorite stop on the tour was La Calle where we enjoyed authentic beef birria tacos, deconstructed elote, and mango margaritas. Also, met some really cool and fun folks who made the night even more enjoyable!!! What a great night out!!!! 🥳. Would definitely do it again!!!! 😃

    Local loved it!

    Paula_M, Sep 2025
    It was great history about the city and the food was delish with great background on each restaurant

    Houston History Unlocked!

    Daphne_B, Sep 2025
    It was a great tour, the only complaint is we couldn’t actually go down into the main tunnels as it was the weekend. So fyi don’t try to come after 6pm mon-fri or on weekends. But great guide, Victor was friendly, knowledgeable and was a great fit for our group! We started out at Market Square then continued to the first foodie stop a great little Phillipino restaurant. Excellent flavor! Then we proceeded to entrance of tunnels and given the history and layout. Next into a Cuban restaurant where more delicious food awaited. We then did a tour of the tallest building in Texas (well clipped recently by an Austin building by 23ft!) then made our way to Market Square again with the history of downtown and a 9/11 tie-in. Onwards next to a great Mexican food restaurant which was my favorite! Then we proceeded flavors were amazing snd the spicy margarita was excellent! Our last stop was some Italian desserts, the tiramisu was to die for, so creamy and light! I’d recommend but this was the last of this specific tour which was sad to hear. Definitely recommend a tunnel and foodie tour downtown Houston though, we learned so much! Great night, friendly group and great service! 👍👍👍🫶

    A Great Introduction to Downtown Houston

    Victor was great! We learned some fun facts about Houston, got to see a bit of the tunnel system, architecture, and had yummy food.

    This was wonderful food...

    Nancy_S, Mar 2025
    This was wonderful food and walking tour of Houston. Vanessa did a great job leading the tour. The walk in the underground tunnels and throughout the City was super informative and interesting. There was plenty of delicious food so come hungry. We ended up taking to-go boxes from two of the restaurants. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour.

    Delicious food

    AprilD_C, Feb 2025
    The history and food were good . The tunnel was very interesting. The guide was fun. The people in our group were not super friendly. That was the only down side

    A must do activity

    Amy_P, Jan 2025
    Vanessa was what made the experience the best and so was the food. Definitely would do this again amy

    Hands down, the best

    Thelma_B, Dec 2024
    This experience was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding food tours we have been on. Vanessa was so personable and knowledgeable of the downtown area and the history of the buildings and the restaurants we visited.

    Best Food Tour

    Donna_J, Dec 2024
    The most memorable part of our tour was our tour guide Vanessa. She is knowledgeable and fun. This was our 3rd time and we enjoyed it every time. The food was delicious and filling and Vanessa knew all things Houston!!

    Great tour!

    Jandalea_N, Nov 2024
    This was an interesting food tour of the downtown Houston area. There are a series of tunnels in this area that connect buildings, light rail, and the theatre district that we got to learn about and visit restaurants in the tunnels.

    Great tour

    Will_B, Nov 2024
    Vanessa was a great guide, very knowledgeable and personable, and she even came prepared with rain coats since it was sprinkling throughout the tour. All three places she took us to eat had excellent food, and the variety of food was great as well. I wish we had spent more time in the tunnels, but overall it was a great tour.

    Fantastic tour

    Yanique_D, Aug 2024
    Vanessa is truly a Houstonian the tour was amazing, well thought out and perfectly curated for anyone who wants to learn about great eateries in Houston as well as learn about the great city. The food options were all amazing everyone will enjoy it.

    Great way to spend time with the family.

    Lisa_Q, Jun 2024
    I am a native Houston who grew up going downtown for everything before the suburbs blew up and I still leaned a ton on this tour. Our tour guide Vanessa was a wealth of knowledge and shared that knowledge so enthusiastically. I left with a reviewed since of pride in my hometown and some great places to eat when in the city. Our last stop had an entrance to the underground tunnel system with a flood door. Interesting and a little eerie. Did you know Houston has the largest underground tunnel system in the US? My boys did not, so we'll be booking the underground tunnel system tour Astroville offers next. Whether you're new to H-town, or an original native like me, book this tour. My family loved it. Great way to spend quality time together.

    Food and history fun

    Karen_R, Jun 2024

    Amazing Experience

    DeLisa_E, Jan 2024
    The food tour was an amazing experience and the food was incredible. Learning more about downtown Houston and seeing a small section of the tunnels was fun! We did not snack before going on the tour and left very satisfied, servin sizes were perfect. Our favorite was the tacos…so yummy!

    Great overall experience

    Randy_B, Jan 2024
    Our leader Vanessa was outstanding! All of the food was wonderful and plenty. Enjoyed the educational part - learning about downtown Houston. Highly recommend this tour!

    We thoroughly enjoyed the...

    Dale_S, Jan 2024
    We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Vanessa was a true professional. We had about 8-10 people in our group. I had a party of 4 within the group and Vanessa made sure we experienced the tour all together. The weather was chilly even by Houston standards. The layout of the tour was done perfectly, right down to the timing and order of dishes tasted. Great assortment of flavors. Highly recommend. Mahalo and aloha Vanessa from da Sekiyas

    Awesome tour and tour guide

    Jennifer_B, Aug 2023
    My husband and I really enjoyed the tour! We learned so much about the Houston downtown area even though we have lived in Houston all our lives. Also, there was a good variety of different types of food and we discovered some new restaurants that we will visit again. The best part was the tour guide, Vanessa, she made the tour amazing. She was full of knowledge on all the downtown buildings, I was very impressed. We are planning to do another downtown tour because of the positive impression she left on us. You will not be disappointed if you book a tour with Vanessa!

    Don’t miss this!

    Amelia_G, Jul 2023
    Vanessa was so much fun and was full of information and enthusiasm! The food was great and the walk in between stops was perfectly timed so one doesn’t feel over the top full. It was a great food tour, we loved every second!
