After doing the doubledecker tour bus in Houston which was essentially an art tour of downtown Houston, I lucked out by doing this tour which covered many different neighborhoods and sections of Houston including my favorite of them all West University also known as the Museum District where we got off for photos. Although I had been to the city at least 6 or u times before. I still learned a lot about the city including how Houston is not only one of the most populated cities in the country but also among the largest in terms of size. Being in air conditioned vehicle with a separate driver and tour guide made traveling around the city not stressful. If you truly want to see all that Houston has to offer besides downtown, that I would strongly suggest this tour

Thanks Vanessa & Luis. After flying half way around the world, this tour was a perfect ‘short visit’ snapshot of Houston. A very tidy, clean city with more bars & restaurants than you can poke a stick at (Aussie saying). Thanks to the both of you for your quality driving and commentary. All the best, Dean & Vicki Webb.

Vanessa was an absolutely amazing tour guide - so fun and full of knowledge and passion for Houston. Loved all the stops we made for photos and exploring - highly recommend this tour to help familiarize yourself with the city. Vanessa and our friendly driver gave us lots of great recommendations for spots to visit, transportation as well as dining. I felt like I knew the city and my way around by the time we were done, and I’m excited to come back and explore more! Great value and great tour!
