Our guide,Gary, was very personable, articulate, knowledgeable and informative. We received an amazing and wonderful perspective of the major areas of Houston. It’s a fabulous cosmopolitan , clean, safe in MOST areas, fun, friendly city with countless beautiful parks , museums and numerous events, restaurants and attractions to explore.
Great walking city with outstanding helpful services for the tourist! Reasonable public transportation and inexpensive parking .The tour was a true “eyeopener”. Highly recommend it! We just moved to the burps but will be back to downtown Houston numerous times. There is so much to enjoy!
Great tour!

We had a great time! It was our first time in the city and we wanted to know everything we could learn about the city while we were here. Especially because we are considering moving to the city. The tour was the perfect mix of historical facts and tours of all the best spots currently in the city. Our tour guide was very personable and funny which made the whole experience more enjoyable. This is a great tour for anymore that really wants to get to know the city in a short period. It’s slightly more focused on downtown than anything else, but they sprinkle in other places as well.
So interesting!

Greg clearly knows and loves Houston. He was able to take us on the tour even though we were the only couple scheduled. Houston and Texas history, stories about local personalities, favorite eateries and bars, places to walk, gift certificates for appetizers, beautiful homes, historical churches, literature about Houston. If you have never been to Houston, take this tour at the beginning of your visit!
Learned a lot!

Our driver was very knowledgeable, and because it was during the slow season we ended up with a private tour. Would highly recommend!

The best part of our experience was our guide, Greg. Very kind, knowledgeable guide and host. Greg had so many details about Houston. Found Houston to be affordable, safe with many amenities. Downtown especially with the underground tunnels, dog parks, parks, history, bike trails, shops, ten million dollar mansions to how Houston maintains the homeless.
Disappointed

If you expect to take pictures in scenic places this is not the right tour for you. I have been to more than a dozen of city tours but this is the 1st time that we just stayed inside the van while the guide is making commentaries he is knowledgeable about the place. Yes informative but never had the chance to take photos. For me its not worth the money. My whole family is with me I was expecting good photos as souvenir from this family trip. But we had none.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
We're so sorry you did not enjoy your experience on the tour. We are not a Hop-on Hop-Off tour and the tour covers so many locations that time would not permit a stop for photos at every location as this would add at least another hour to the tour but it is obvious you did not ask your guide for photo opportunity as we make 1-2 stops for photos at the best locations if this is requested. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO TOUR COMPANIES IN HOUSTON THAT OFFER SHARED TOURS WITH CONTINUOUS HOP-ON, HOP-OFF EXPERIENCE.
Our Hop-on Hop off tour requires you book THE PRIVATE TOUR WE OFFER FOR MULTIPLE STOPS.
This way travelers who just want to see Houston are not slowed down with continuous stops. For future reference we recommend hotel accommodations in an area for tourism and attractions as opposed to remote areas where none of this exist or take our private tour so that everything done is to accommodate 1 family only. If you are interested in a PRIVATE TOUR for the same individuals on your previous tour please contact us for this at a 30% discounted rate.
Despite all we hope you enjoyed your stay in Houston and thank you for visiting.
Great experience
