My family lives in the Houston suburbs and were hosting an out-of-town visitor. So we decided to book a city tour - figured we could always learn something new about the city. So glad we did. Our experience with Astroville Tours was a great mix of logistical smoothness, impressive knowledge and education, interesting sights, and disarming friendliness and helpfulness. Plus the van we went around in was so comfortable and clean. Am going to check out their other tours!

Dear Nina, It was our pleasure having you all on our Private 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. We are also very proud to have Miss Vanessa representing our city as an ambassador and she is the highest rated tour guide in Houston! It really means a lot to us. We look forward to hosting you on more tours in Houston in upcoming future!

When I booked with Astroville Tours, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had a last minute change in plans and heard back from Astroville via email in a very timely manner. They took care of the issue, going above and beyond. Our tour guide, Vanessa, did a FANTASTIC job of taking care of our every need. She even called us by name. I liked the fact that no matter what anyone asked her, she knew the answer. When a street preacher who clearly appeared mentally off approached us, she handled it beautifully. She made us feel safe. Despite doing numerous tours before, she had genuine enthusiasm. Although we are from Dallas and I had it in my mind that I was not going to like Houston, she changed my mind. She gave Houston a personal touch. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour . . . the light rail tour with some minor walking, but I am sure that every tour Vanessa does is exceptionally good. We met up at Roma's Pizza and although we are originally from NY, we were impressed with their pizza. What I really liked was that after our tour, Vanessa texted us recommended places to eat dinner, other tourist attractions, and pictures of us that she took during the tour. Great Job, Astroville Tours and Vanessa!!! We have relatives coming to visit Houston at the end of the month and they will be taking the tour as well.

We got to see the tunnel system and downtown part of Houston which was so cool and then stopped at a historical famous city park for family photos. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and rail system, he was also very patient with our group since we had my brother on crutches. He let us get a bite to eat at the pizzeria before the tour! I hope I get to do more Astroville tours when I have more family in town
