Very good introduction to Houston on a short 2 hour tour for our group of 14. Vanessa was excellent... knowledgeable with a vivacious, infectious, attitude of key historical facts and figures about Houston.@ very enjoyable.
Amazing small group tour of Houston! Fantastic and enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide! Highly RECOMMENDED!!
Our guide Vanessa was very knowledgeable and super engaging. It was the perfect way to get an overview of the City in a limited amount of time. Hope to come back soon for a longer visit!
Good tour of the city neighborhoods broken into many districts along with University Rice and the sports stadiums. Our guide Denise was great. Very thorough, descriptive and informative. She took many nice photos of us and we were offered ample stops. The ride really felt like it flew by because we enjoyed it so much! We would like to do another tour with this company .. perhaps the food tour
excellent guide and driver. very pleasant experience. expensive but worth money. I loved personalized attention and warmth
Thanks to Vanessa & Louie. Vanessa explained the history of Dallas clearly and provided local knowledge of Dallas, which made the tour enjoyable.
Worth the money. We had the tour guide and Van to ourselves, it was spacious and comfortable. We got to stop at places of interests for customized photo prop photos and got a great look at Houston’s parks, museums, skylines and graffiti. The city of Houston is humongous, we thought this was a pretty neat way to see as much as possible since we only had about 48 hours in city. I would definitely recommend to other families and travel groups in Houston for a limited time and would try to do it early in your trip. We ended up going back to 2/3 places we saw on the tour
My son and his wife had moved to Houston in May and this was our first visit to see them so I wanted to surprise them with a tour of the city to feel more comfortable finding their way around Houston. Our tour guide Vanessa had so much information and wonderful tips on getting around the city including its tunnel system, restaurants, downtown train system, museums, parks, financial center, and sports stadiums. Vanessa was patient, welcoming and sweet. Her driver Luis also was great and shared interesting info and recommendations for both the Space Center and Galveston. We would recommend taking this tour early in your trip to Houston so that you can comeback to the places they show off and try some of their recommendations! Our favorite parts of Houston were how clean the downtown was and their well-kept humongous museum district which had tons to do and interesting photo-ops with local monuments
A notch above 95% of tours I've been on and not because Houston has as much interesting attractions as a New York/Paris/Tokyo but because the tour guides were among the best and went Above & Beyond to make this memorable. The photo stops and information shared were all well-chosen and it felt personalized as it should have for a Private tour. Believe it not, that's not always the case. If you can get her, ask for Vanessa as the tour guide
This private city tour was pretty convenient since we only had 2 days in Houston, and much of the day was spent on work. They worked around my schedule and limited time. We saw EVERYTHING from parks, stadiums, museums, and even got to go inside a Art museum for pictures on the roof!!! Louis and Vanessa were hands down some of the best guides I've had in any city tours including European and Asian cities. I would 1000 percent recommend a Private tour if you want something personalized and want photos of just your group
