great tour, with a great guide. The downfall was that it was a rainy day and the vehicle restricted our viewsomewhat. The guide worked hard to get us out to see the sites and enjoy the tour. Five stars to our GUIDE. The 4 stars was for weather, which the tour had zero control over. Great city. If you are in Houston, you need to do this tour, just to embrace the city. No traffic, no people on the street. Take the tour to find out why one of the largest cities has no traffic.

Ryan our tour guide, was very informative with a wide range of information regarding historical dates and events as we took the tour through Houston. He provided us with statistics and sporting information including important people that visited or stayed at different locations along the route. Ryan provided a great opportunity for photos at one stop. We were slightly disappointed that we didn't get to ride in the open air double decker bus as it had rained the evening before.

My brother and I made sure to show up 10 minutes before the 10am pickup time. By 10am, there’s no bus. I call and they tell me that they’re five minutes away. By 10:30, still no bus. We call again and they told us they were there and they left even though we were in the right pickup location listed on the voucher. We didn’t see anybody. We wasted $60 and an afternoon. We’re calling for a refund. Do not book this tour.
