Diverse Cuisine at Three Local Favorites
Astroville Tours has curated a selection of three beloved Houston restaurants, each offering a taste of different world cuisines. As you move from one eatery to the next, your group will enjoy 8-9 pre-ordered food samplings and served fresh upon your arrival.
The tour's culinary stops feature a variety of dishes that might include:
Authentic Mexico City dishes that capture the essence of traditional Mexican cooking.

Exploring Architectural and Cultural Landmarks
Walking through Downtown Houston, your guide will highlight significant architectural and cultural landmarks. Highlights include the tallest building in Texas and the largest theater district in the state. These sites contribute to the city's skyline and tell the story of its economic and artistic growth.
Unique Access to Houston's Downtown Tunnel System
