It was a great introduction to this expansive city. We got recommendations for post-rour activities. I wish there would be some stops for pictures

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We do have stops for photos when weather permits and guests are offered opportunities for step off photos. When touring on rainy days or cold temputures the offers are usually declined by the guest however. We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience despite unfavorable weather. Thank you for visiting Houston.

This is a great tour of Downtown, River Oaks, Museum and Medical Districts and the areas in between. We actually ended up with a private tour - two of us as the main tour was full. So rather than turn us away, they added an extra section. That’s excellent service. Our guide Greg was a Houston native who is obviously not only passionate about his city but full of knowledge and tidbits. If you are in Houston for a brief stay and would like to know more about this iconic American city- this is the tour to go with.
