Knowing your own downtown

Our group works in downtown Houston. It was fun to learn more about the murals we see everyday. We went on a Sunday morning which was great since traffic was light.

Appreciate Houston’s diverse culture through murals

We toured to view the MURALS

We saw the murals the host took us to, but found others as we rode around the city. The hosts were very nice and had knowledge about what the murals represented. I was impressed upon hearing how the United Nations helps the artists reach the goal. Beautiful work

Great family day

The tour operator did a great job of explaining the meaning of each mural. It was a very enjoyable experience and we will definitely do it again in the future as other family members come to visit. My cousins were here from out of town and took tons of post worthy pics!

Amazing mural tour!

I had an amazing experience on the downtown Houston mural tour! The tour was incredibly well done and gave me a whole new appreciation for the city, its history, and its street art scene. I learned so much about the artists, the meaning behind the murals, and how the city has evolved through art and culture. My guide Marna was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. She created a relaxed and engaging atmosphere and clearly has a real passion for Houston and its creative community. The pace of the tour was perfect, and I appreciated how interactive and informative it was throughout. I highly recommend this tour for both visitors and locals. It was one of the highlights of my weekend in Houston!

A real recommendation to hear the stories behind the murals.

Our tour guide Marna was amazing. She drove us around downtown Houston in just over 90 minutes to show us the beautiful murals. Marna knows exactly which highlights to share, making her story short and to the point. Yet, she still has answers to any in-depth questions.

Operator response

Thank you, Dana! It was so nice to meet your family!

Wonderful tour even for locals!

This was such a great experience. I feel like this may be something people from out-of-town schedule, but this was amazing for us, who are locals, as well. It's amazing what you don't pick up on until it's shown to you. I truly enjoyed all of Marna's information on the murals we saw. You can tell she's very passionate about learning more and more and sharing her love and appreciation for the mural art with you.

Operator response

You are so sweet!! Yes, I love my city and love showing it off ! It’s exciting watching other’s see “us” in a different way! So much to see and do right here!

Fun and very interesting time

We had a great time checking out the Urban Art scene in downtown Houston with Robbie. He was very knowledgeable about the artists and the art. It was a fun and informative jaunt through downtown Houston. Obviously you can drive by them yourself but it was great to hear about the artists and their visions for their creations. We wished we had time to do the Christmas light tour and have decided that we will do that one next year! It is a great time for all ages.
