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
I have used this company for previous trips to Houston and loved their food tour so decided to give them a shot with private tour during a holiday trip. It was absolutely worth the time and money even if traveling with just immediate family. The guides Dan and Julie were extremely hands on and allowed us ample time at each stop, offered us photos, specialized recs and privately run just for us. Don’t worry about getting sick or not enough time for photos and questions, yes to private.
We had an amazing time with Vanessa and Luis. Probably one of the best tours I've ever been on. Vanessa and Luis were prompt and overall a delight to learn how to navigate Houston. I highly recommend!
I’ve previously booked tours with Astroville Tours for friends visiting the city. This time around I booked their best of Houston driving tour for my family visiting for holiday/vacation and they were amazed. Saw so many gems in the city I didn’t know existed. There whole team is very professional and make all tours inviting and interesting. If you are looking for a day out in the city this tour can be a great way start!
Had a phenomenal time joining two tours while my family was in town! Our group had older folks that did amazing on the private driving tour and the teens and family loved all the photos on the tunnel tour. Each was a unique and amazing holiday experience. I did reach out to their office to book the tour directly to confirm details.
If you have family from out of town, then is is very handy to have Astroville at your side. As someone who is busy and didn’t have time to plan a itinerary or research places to visit, this private tour took away the stress. It was smooth pickup process, detailed tour with nice stops for photos, and really made a lasting impression on my relatives who never really liked Houston before the tour but kept talking about how big and how much is going on after the tour 😂😂
Sightseeing the homes and skylines and learning about the underground towns the van was nice tour guide was great
My family lives in the Houston suburbs and were hosting an out-of-town visitor. So we decided to book a city tour - figured we could always learn something new about the city. So glad we did. Our experience with Astroville Tours was a great mix of logistical smoothness, impressive knowledge and education, interesting sights, and disarming friendliness and helpfulness. Plus the van we went around in was so comfortable and clean. Am going to check out their other tours!
When I booked with Astroville Tours, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had a last minute change in plans and heard back from Astroville via email in a very timely manner. They took care of the issue, going above and beyond. Our tour guide, Vanessa, did a FANTASTIC job of taking care of our every need. She even called us by name. I liked the fact that no matter what anyone asked her, she knew the answer. When a street preacher who clearly appeared mentally off approached us, she handled it beautifully. She made us feel safe. Despite doing numerous tours before, she had genuine enthusiasm. Although we are from Dallas and I had it in my mind that I was not going to like Houston, she changed my mind. She gave Houston a personal touch. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour . . . the light rail tour with some minor walking, but I am sure that every tour Vanessa does is exceptionally good. We met up at Roma's Pizza and although we are originally from NY, we were impressed with their pizza. What I really liked was that after our tour, Vanessa texted us recommended places to eat dinner, other tourist attractions, and pictures of us that she took during the tour. Great Job, Astroville Tours and Vanessa!!! We have relatives coming to visit Houston at the end of the month and they will be taking the tour as well.
We got to see the tunnel system and downtown part of Houston which was so cool and then stopped at a historical famous city park for family photos. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and rail system, he was also very patient with our group since we had my brother on crutches. He let us get a bite to eat at the pizzeria before the tour! I hope I get to do more Astroville tours when I have more family in town
Going to Memorial Park was really nice. The tour guides were a great team. Riding thru some parts of HTown was a good experience.
The tour was great and our tour guide Luis was excellent ! He was really knowledgeable and friendly !
Fun and very informative tour guide. Learned so much about the city of Houston and what it had to offer. Especially its amazing food. Had a blast!!
I have been living in Houston for over 2 years but never used the rail. This was recommended by a friend, who spoke highly of the company’s food and tunnel tour. Not only do you learn about the city, the city’s history/culture, but you see the city through the eyes of a local. Vanessa was energetic, personable, and knowledgable. My friends and I would have missed out on a lot if we had not done the tour. I have recommended this tour to coworkers and family members and look forward to another tour.
Excelentes guías. Muy bonito. Adaptado a las necesidades de mi familia. Muy recomendable. Vanessa y quien maneja muy amables. Con mucha información. Su transporte con pantalla para hacer todo más gráfico y cultural. Excelente tour.
The guide Vanessa and the driver Luis were super attentive and demonstrated a lot of knowledge of the city. We were positively surprised by the city. The city tour was very good. I would like to highlight that the service provided by the office (Rich) was also excellent. Very attentive, practical and effective.
