Great your! - The tour was absolutely wonderful! Vanessa was a very upbeat tour guide and the driver was informative as well. We really enjoyed it! We enjoyed seeing the Beatles statues because my husband’s name is John Lennon! The destruction downtown from the tornadoes/high winds was mind blowing. We loved the street graffiti as well. Loved, loved the children’s art and “the Bean”. If you are going to take a tour of Houston this is the one! Thanks for a wonderful time!!

Tour will leave your with greater perspective of Houston - Aside from the photos taken there are key facts from Vanessa and Luis/Luiz stories that are memorable. Houston is perfect for those aspiring to work in the medical field and there’s a lot of culture shown in the murals, museums. Host provided recommendations for attractions, dining for this trip and future visits

Great afternoon in Houston - Julia and Dan are great guides for this city tour. Knowledgeable and entertaining from start to finish. They made sure our group was comfortable and remain hydrated.

Lots of Houston - Felt this tour was a bit longer than we had expected but TREMENDOUS value considering the amount of different sections of Houston that we saw and the different stops we were offered... None of which are common on many city tours especially for the price paid. If you are looking for good value and a more detailed city tour than most, this is highly recommended. Im kind of shocked that they don't charge more given its really more a private tour feeling since it is a smaller group of just 8-10 guests in total. Dan and Julia make a GREAT team
