Don't waste your money or time!!!

Worst trolly ride , basically baked inside,no ac,no open windows, upstairs on top the sun was brutal,seats would have given us a 2nd degree burn, Houston downtown is basically a concrete jungle ! Take the tunnel tour instead with climate control. Maybe winter time would be more tolerable,if you want to see a whole lot of boring concrete buildings.

Operator response

Hi, Sightseeing in outdoor activity on an open-top bus. Remember, we are in the middle of summer in Texas. We do provide cushions and cooling areas, and the option to go downstairs and stop in shaded areas. Houston is not only concrete, we also have magnificent architecture and, theatres. Museums, parks, Murals, history, fountains, monuments, and city culture. We do offer winter tours and indoor activities, like Museum tours, tunnel tours,Space Center, Aquarium, and much more. Was great serving you!
