Downtown Tour - Good overview of downtown area. Just one stop. Nice if you’re short on time and want a little history and culture.

A nice double decker bus tour around downtown Houston. - A nice tour around the very center of Houston downtown. The double decker bus was comfortable and Ben, the guide, was very knowledgeable and nice. We enjoyed learning about the history of The Space City! If you have a couple of hours to spend in the downtown while traveling here, go for it! They also have a nice gift shop right at the boarding station. Own can take pictures there with the family.

So so Houston city tour - This is not a tour that has a lot of in depth history of the city. There's great architecture in the city and many skyscrapers but what really stood out was the lack of knowledge of the driver who also served as the narrator. She tried making lame jokes out of some of the sights but without any real in depth history or information. She talked a lot about Galveston and even other places like the tumbleweeds in west Texas to get away from the topic of the day which should have been Houston. Recorded narrators tried covering some spots and history but for someone who wants to know true history and in depth details it was disappointing. The driver/guide also pointed to a place called Tejas Grill near the bus station to go down to visit the Houston underground tunnels from it, but when we went there the place was deserted and closed. So we had to ask other people on the street for correct guidance to the underground. This business obviously need a local person who's passionate about the city's history to make it an enjoyable tour.
