Yes to Private - I have used this company for previous trips to Houston and loved their food tour so decided to give them a shot with private tour during a holiday trip. It was absolutely worth the time and money even if traveling with just immediate family. The guides Dan and Julie were extremely hands on and allowed us ample time at each stop, offered us photos, specialized recs and privately run just for us. Don’t worry about getting sick or not enough time for photos and questions, yes to private.

Family Holiday Experience - Had a phenomenal time joining two tours while my family was in town! Our group had older folks that did amazing on the private driving tour and the teens and family loved all the photos on the tunnel tour. Each was a unique and amazing holiday experience. I did reach out to their office to book the tour directly to confirm details.

Private is the WAY to go - If you have family from out of town, then is is very handy to have Astroville at your side. As someone who is busy and didn’t have time to plan a itinerary or research places to visit, this private tour took away the stress. It was smooth pickup process, detailed tour with nice stops for photos, and really made a lasting impression on my relatives who never really liked Houston before the tour but kept talking about how big and how much is going on after the tour 😂😂

Stellar combo of interesting + solid logistics + customer service - My family lives in the Houston suburbs and were hosting an out-of-town visitor. So we decided to book a city tour - figured we could always learn something new about the city. So glad we did. Our experience with Astroville Tours was a great mix of logistical smoothness, impressive knowledge and education, interesting sights, and disarming friendliness and helpfulness. Plus the van we went around in was so comfortable and clean. Am going to check out their other tours!

Touring Houston in Very Good Hands - When I booked with Astroville Tours, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had a last minute change in plans and heard back from Astroville via email in a very timely manner. They took care of the issue, going above and beyond. Our tour guide, Vanessa, did a FANTASTIC job of taking care of our every need. She even called us by name. I liked the fact that no matter what anyone asked her, she knew the answer. When a street preacher who clearly appeared mentally off approached us, she handled it beautifully. She made us feel safe. Despite doing numerous tours before, she had genuine enthusiasm. Although we are from Dallas and I had it in my mind that I was not going to like Houston, she changed my mind. She gave Houston a personal touch. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour . . . the light rail tour with some minor walking, but I am sure that every tour Vanessa does is exceptionally good. We met up at Roma's Pizza and although we are originally from NY, we were impressed with their pizza. What I really liked was that after our tour, Vanessa texted us recommended places to eat dinner, other tourist attractions, and pictures of us that she took during the tour. Great Job, Astroville Tours and Vanessa!!! We have relatives coming to visit Houston at the end of the month and they will be taking the tour as well.

Fun and Interactive Tour - We got to see the tunnel system and downtown part of Houston which was so cool and then stopped at a historical famous city park for family photos. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and rail system, he was also very patient with our group since we had my brother on crutches. He let us get a bite to eat at the pizzeria before the tour! I hope I get to do more Astroville tours when I have more family in town
