Great introduction to Great City

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a great introduction to this expansive city. We got recommendations for post-rour activities. I wish there would be some stops for pictures

Excellent overview of a great American city

Published on Dec, 2024

This is a great tour of Downtown, River Oaks, Museum and Medical Districts and the areas in between. We actually ended up with a private tour - two of us as the main tour was full. So rather than turn us away, they added an extra section. That’s excellent service. Our guide Greg was a Houston native who is obviously not only passionate about his city but full of knowledge and tidbits. If you are in Houston for a brief stay and would like to know more about this iconic American city- this is the tour to go with.

Fantastic! First class tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was absolutely the best I’ve ever had. Greg, my tour guide, was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The areas we covered gave me a great appreciation for the diversity of the city and its history. I loved that the audio was mixed with the tour guide’s sharing and recorded information, which added to the distinct flavor of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!! First class!

Highly recommend

Published on Nov, 2024
