A great chance to see key highlights around the city - We enjoyed our small group tour. A few challenges along the way with roadworks and inner city festivals. Enjoyed the short time we all spent together.

It's great to learn little known facts about the city. - The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city and little known (outside of locals) facts about the city. It was a most enjoyable experience.

Fun Houston Tours - This was a great tour! I was the only one on the tour and received VIP treatment from Mr. Dan. He’s very friendly and informative during the entire tour. I was able to get some great photos.

Dan made Galveston unforgettable! - Dan was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the topic. There is nothing this man does not know of this event, ask him!” His energy and local insights brought Galveston’s history to life—from mansions to the Strand—transforming a simple sightseeing trip into an engaging, memorable exploration.

Great tour! - This tour is great because you get to stop and get out of the van to see things better and take pictures. Also, you could easily ask questions of the guide and he took us to see things we wouldn't have thought to go to. He made the tour very interesting and was very enthusiastic about the city of Houston and it's history. We really liked the small group aspect. Would highly recommend this tour!!!

Houston in rain - We had a very nice driver-cum-guide. 95 pct of the time it was raining which reduced our experience including photo opportunities. We always had great experiences with tours booked through Viator and despite the rain the vibe was great

Disappointing - Good sites and agenda but poor commentary. Israel was our guide and his personality is amiable and he’s a nice guy, but he really needs to sharpen his presentation. After having taken a different company’s tour of Houston where the driver was full of accurate information and was packed full of detail, this tour wasn’t that. Not only did it lack detail & facts, it wasn’t always accurate. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this tour.
