This was a great tour and way to get introduced to Houston as someone who was here for first time and didn’t know much! The shuttle was clean, cool, and efficient in getting us around the city. Really felt more like a small bus because you had example space and could stand up. Vanessa let us get off at Hermann Park to show us the monuments and take some photos. It’s was pretty fascinating how each part of the city had a different feel and landscape. My favorite area was the Museum District area with the city monuments as well as driving by the River Oak mansions! I highly recommend this tour for both single travelers and families alike

Dear Olivier, It was our pleasure having you all on our Best of Houston city driving tour. We appreciate the outstanding feedback. We firmly believe our driving city tour is the ideal way to see different neighborhoods within the city and learn about their history and appeal while also getting some cool photo opportunities. Please do let us know if we may ever offer any additional recommendations of things to do or restaurants in the city for future trips.

Vanessa was a fabulous guide. I have lived in Texas near Houston my whole life and yet she taught me so much about Houston!

Exceptional tour of Houston! This was a great introduction into the city. Our guide was knowledgeable and showed off the city so well. Of all our other activities and tours during our trip this was the best and I would recommend to anyone visiting. Wish we had done this earlier on our trip.

Hello Katie, thank you so much for your review and supporting our small business during these trying times. As you can imagine the new strains of COVID have halted tourism all over again. Our tour guides love what they do and love showing Houston's uniqueness. We hope you enjoy your visit to Houston and have a safe trip back to South Carolina. Please feel free to reach out for any other recommendations of places to see and restaurants.
