Really nice tour in which you get a good impression of the city in a short period of time. The guide gives a lot of background information, that makes it more interesting and she knows a lot about the murals. The murals are very impressive!! Really nice experience!!
Great overview of Houston's history, downtown places of interest and things to do and see on a second visit.
There is traffic noise during peak hours so listening to the commentary can be difficult. However, our tour guide, Marna Robertson did an excellent job managing that! Knows the city history inside out, he is a living legend of downtown Houston 👍. If you want to know all about Houston in a nutshell, as a small group or family then this tour is highly recommended. 👉
Really great tour. Houston is an amazing city. The open air golf cart and a very knowledgeable guide made this tour a top shelf experience and we have been on tours in 22 countries.
This was a great tour! Robby was very engaging and kept us interested with his commentary. Definitely recommend for a great understanding about how huge downtown really is, Our only disappointment was thinking it would be private but had 2 others joining our group.
You get a great overview of the city. The little car can go where vans cannot, which was great. Our guide knew everything about the city, and was very personable.
This was a really nice tour and Marna was very knowledgeable about Houston. Definitely recommend it, not only for tourists but also for locals!
The tour operator cancelled 30 minutes prior to tour time after we’d spent $65 on an Uber to get to the meeting point, then had to spend another $65 to get back to hotel. They knew we were travelling in from about an hour outside of Houston city. They said they had to cancel due to heavy rain and flooding & that electric cars can’t go out but when we got there, no rain, no flooding and ground was completely dry. Even travelling into the city there wasn’t any rain either. Sadly, not the best experience as the Uber’s cost more than the tour ticket price that we didn’t even get to do.
It’s unfortunate that management made the decision to cancel your tour. There are weather days in Houston that can be extremely unpredictable. As our carts are open air golf carts, we take the safety and comfort level of our guests , as well as our equipment, very seriously.
Marna showed us around the city and was very knowledgeable and informative. We really enjoyed this tour. Highly recommend
Don't expect what you see in advertisements. Your ride consist of riding around about 4 to 5 blocks downtown, we thought we were seeing muriels, but they said that was a separate tour. Then, "the old oak tree, which was also the linching tree" tour guides statement. Then the Gulf of America, so needless to say, I would never do it again, and advised you to save your money.
Well not all tours are for all people. The vehicles we use are golf carts and Polaris GEMS, not the vans that you stated you saw on our websites. If you looked carefully at the pictures and written text, you will not find vans mentioned. Yes we have a mural tour, but your group booked the sightseeing tour. The tour covers way more than 4-5 city blocks as we discuss the multiple districts, buildings, timelines and, yes, history of the city all in an hour and 15 minute tour. Not sure what you are referring to regarding the Gulf of America, however, rain water from Houston DOES make its way down the bayou to the ship channel to Galveston Bay to the Gulf of America. We are so sorry that you had an unpleasant experience, but we do pride ourselves in the amazing tours we deliver. I believe the abundance of previous reviews attest to that.
