This is the first tour I've ever done, and wanted to see the city without getting rained on. I had originally signed up for an open bus tour but thought I would be miserable up there. Luckily, I found this tour and had a blast even as a solo traveler. The guide was very charismatic and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to explore Houston!
