Its a wonderful orientation tour .Should take it before detailing further tours at Houstan. The Driver cum Guide was an excellent Guy.
It was a great experience! And Allen, the tour guide made the tour memorable. This was our first time visiting Houston and will absolutely be back and do the tour again.
This was a great tour. Our guide Alan was brilliant, so knowledgeable and entertaining. A great way to catch the highlights of Houston.
Our grandson recently moved to Houston, and this was our first visit. It was a fabulous experience for all of us. Our guide conveyed his deep love for his city while educating us on both historical and contemporary information. He was smart, funny, and very considerate while regaling us with fascinating stories. We have done guided tours all over the world, and this ranks among the best.
Pick up spot is specific. Host was funny and informative. Very kind. Great mix between host speaking and recorded audio. Learned a lot about the history and culture.
Our tour guide, Greg, was very knowledgeable. This is the second time with him, and on both time, he is terrific.
Alan our driver provided us a private tour of Houston. The tour was very detailed and informative, Alan was very friendly and knowledgeable with facts and history and provided us with a very professional tour highly recommended.
This was a great tour. Our guide was a life-long Houston native and was able to explain things in terms of the past and present. He had a great sense of humor that was a nice compliment to his astounding knowledge about Houston. and hopes for the future. The van was clean and comfortable. It was nice that our guide had cold water bottles and snacks available to the passengers. I would recommend this tour without hesitation!
Our tiur guide Alan was amazing. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous.
Loved this tour. It was an easy, crowd-free way to see Houston’s highlights and learn a lot along the way. Our guide was phenomenal, with great stories and deep knowledge of the city. We stopped for photos at a few key places, but the tour kept a nice flow and never felt excessive.
Alan was very knowledgeable in explaining the history of all 4 of the major zones that he took us too in the city. He was kind, curious and his van was extremely clean. I originally from Houston and thought this was a nice way to show my friend visiting from the our beautiful town. I will absolutely take other friends visiting Houston on Alan's tour in the future!
Interesting and informative comprehensive city tour. Guide was friendly and engaging. Highly recommended!
Fantastic tour by very knowledgeable guide Allan. Should be required for anyone staying in Houston for 2-3 days, so as to learn about all of the wonderful activities that are available. Also provides a great overview of the history of Houston.
We had a great time. It was very informative as well as being fun. We saw things that we would’ve not normally have seen if we had not gone on that tour. Greig was an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed him.
Allan was a fantastic tour guide and driver! Pointed out City highlights and shared amazing information about the City. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for an overview tour.
Mr Alan was a gentleman and had long city Houston history knowledgment. We had so good Sunday visiting around! 🇧🇷🇧🇷💸
It was very nice. We were able to take plenty pictures.
Pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide! Very informative and interesting. Friends were from MI and I was from Katy. Been here 11 years and learned and viewed brand new landmarks and beautiful murals. Our first time touring downtown Houston! Loved tour and would recommend all my family and friends!
The Houston City 2.5 hour Van Tour was enjoyable and an informative tour full of history. The tour guide was punctual, attentive, courteous, and very professional alerting about pickup times, locations and changes. If there were questions, he answered the phone number attached to the alerts and patiently/thoroughly explained everything when answering the questions. He was knowledgeable about the history of Houston, Texas and appeared to love his city and job. The city is clean with beautiful homes, buildings and artwork. The only drawback is the tinted windows on the tour van makes it difficult to clearly see everything. It is understandable that Houston/Texas is very hot and the tint on the windows is necessary for shade and heat control, but it does take away from the tour, especially, with all of the beautiful murals that the City of Houston displays from some very talented artist!!
We had a great time on this tour. Our excellent guide really brought the city to life and we saw so much we would have missed. Highly recommended!
Excellent! Alan was professional and so knowledgeable. We went on first day in Houston. He gave us so many great ideas of what to do when to do then and how to get Ghere. Gave us an awesome map and brochures so we could find things on our own . We will be back Houston
Greg was OUTSTANDING, 10/10. He was so captivating and shared such amazing info about Houston that he made us want to move here after the first ten minutes! Greg has done 5000 tours! Super personable, happy to answer our questions, lots of insider info: celebrity homes, places to eat, and so much interesting info both Texas history AND the amazing services and low costs for downtown residents. And our free gifts were awesome! Definitely do this tour.
You will learn about Houston's diverse loving and caring community for all including the wealthy people who have contributed vast amounts of money to help with the Healthcare, living conditions, education, and homelessness by creating a unique awesome Houston for the American culture.
The tour guide is very knowledgeable about the history and background of the city of Houston, the different landmarks and places and important personalities. We really enjoyed his narration and context
Alan was very knowledgeable about the history of Houston, its many buildings and important figures. He patiently answered all our questions. Highly recommended
The tour was Informative and a great way to see the city to plan what you want to do while visiting.
The guide was exceptional, the way he was so passionate about Houston made us really want to relocate to Houston!
I recommend them for any tour of Houston. It was lively and informative, immersing you in the diversity of culture, civic responsibility and peace
Fantastic tour! Alan was friendly and well prepared to give a good tour! He was very knowledgeable and knew Houston inside and out! Highly recommend this tour!
Great amount of information and covered so much of the downtown area. Appreciated hearing about “the rich guys” . Ended up being a private tour which was ok with us!
Absolutely the best general tour of a city we have ever been on. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in a limo. It was personal and informative, and our guide really knew and took pride in his city. In response to other reviews, we were offered 2 stops for bathroom breaks and photo ops. We would definitely recomend. I can't imagine a better introduction to the city for any price!
Wonderful experience! Our guide was amazing and very personable, funny, and knowledgeable and we had an amazing time touring Houston! He was a great photographer, too, and captured some priceless memories for us!
We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and we learn a lot. Will definitely take this tour again
Very informative about the history and the current social, cultural and climate of Houston. If you were remotely, considering moving here take the tour you’ll learn a lot.
Very clear, very professional, very comprehensive and clear. Enjoyed immensely. Comfortable transport. Thank you!
Driver was great Very knowledgeable and showed us around at a comfortable pace Loved Downtown and would stay there next time Strongly recommend
Air. Conditioning was a bonus and the driver, (Alan), was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend the tour to anyone.
We had a wonderful experience with our Sightseeing Tour of Houston this weekend. Allen, our tour guide was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent tour of the city. He was very engaging and patient and described in great detail the history of the city during every step of the tour. He was a good storyteller! He was punctual in picking us up. Light snacks and water were provided.. The AC van was tidy and spotless. Highly recommend the tour!
there were two couples and the guide was great. The guide was informative and friendly. He also took pictures of us with our phones. He was very nice.
Alan was super knowledgeable and we learned so much about Houston! We highly recommend a tour on your first day - you learn where you want to spend your time sightseeing/museums to go to and great places to eat.
Awesome experience. Allan was right on time, knowledgeable, an excellent driver, patient when we just had to share our experiences and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of downtown Houston. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. We learned a great deal about the history of the area, the generosity of local well-to-do residents and we heard about all of the things that make Houston great. You won't do better with any other tour.
If you have never been to Houston, this is the perfect introduction Allen was very knowledgeable and very helpful to share his city.
Very informative and our guide was amazing. We saw all the downtown sights and learnt about Houston.
Informative and helpful to understand the landscape and monuments of the city along with demographic trends.
My ride was changed from a group to a solo tour. My tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city of Houston. If I had a question about the city or anything he was always willing to answer it. Offered me water when I was thirsty. He even recommended some restaurants to try. Taking this tour was a great experience.
The driver was very knowledgeable of the entire City of Houston. We were so glad to have him on our bus tour. His welcome was warm and his personality was over the top.. Will definitely recommend him to do a tour of Houston....
Great information; eloquent speaker, safe, helpful driver but not every guest from out of TX knows characters from TX history.
Our guide was kind and very knowledgeable. He does a great job and he makes it fun. Definitely recommend!
Greg did an excellent job! You could see how much he loved the city. We enjoyed all the sites we saw and your beautiful murals.
