I needed a fun AND informative AND air conditioned tour for my 85 year old mom and 22 year old niece. This tour meet all expectations. Our guide Alan was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the city, the history, and the culture. I’ve lived in the Houston suburbs for 22 years and learned new things about this town! I started taking notes for future family visitors!
Very informative

Our driver/tour guide was AMAZING!! He was born and raised in Houston and you could tell he loved his city. He was so knowledgeable and passionate and gave us a wonderful tour of Houston. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see the city. My friend and I even found ourselves giving each other quizzes on what we learned because we were so impressed hahahaha. Thanks for an awesome tour. ONLY suggestion, please stop at the I love Houston sign or the mural that says Houston for a picture during the tour. That would’ve been great if that was added.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Thank you for sharing and we're happy that you enjoyed your experience.
Photos at the Mural Block and "We Love Houston" sign ARE actually available on the tour by request. We apologize if that wasn't made clear on your tour. There are (3) photo opportunities for the tour.
Hopefully you'll be one of many who return and we'll make sure you get EXTRA photos.

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!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
