Outstanding mural tour

Jane_K, Mar 2024

Marina was an excellent guide for the mural tour. She shared a tremendous amount of information about the murals and the artists. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to see several of the artists at work on their murals. Houston is very lucky to have such marvelous artwork available for everyone to enjoy.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for sharing! Yes, the fact that the artists are willing to share their talent with the world is amazing! Houston IS lucky!

Great tour

Melissa_W, Mar 2024

Marna was an excellent guide and was very informative. I loved how she knew all the art and was able to explain it to us. My kids and myself walked away very educated and I would definitely recommend it to people.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you Melissa! I had a great time with you all!

What A Joy of a Tour

Bill_J, Mar 2024

Marna is enthusiastic, upbeat, and best of all, quite knowledgeable about the artists, their themes, and the story of murals in Houston and the worldwide competition. As an example, the mural behind us signifies to be vigilant when driving. Keep your eyes straight ahead for danger is waiting on either wayside. The muralist does "look for a hidden gem". In this case within the eye's pupil. Take the tour and find out what that gem is!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

I love this! Thank you! You two were such a sweet couple! I love my city and its art. Sharing it all with guests makes me smile!

Both an educational and artistic experience.

Edward_N, Dec 2023

The tour itself was memorable, and I cannot select the Most Memorable part of it. Sarah, our guide, also was an important part of the experience and was very knowledge about the murals, their history, and the artists who created them. It was a complete surprise to me, and I have lived here almost 60 years and worked downtown for a number if those years. I have recommended the tour to many friends

Response from Host, Jan 2024

So happy you had a great experience! We have long time residents that are amazed at all the city has to offer and the changes that are taking place! Would love to see you again!

Sarah brought the JOY to Joyride!

Zachary_T, Nov 2023

Sarah was amazing!! She had so much knowledge not just of the artwork but of the artists and FROM the artists themselves! Most passionate tour guide I've ever experienced.

Informative & Fun City Exploration

Adela_R, Aug 2023

A good overview and background on major and minor pieces around Houston, the artists, and their stories. Sarah was knowledgeable. It was a super hot August day, and you are traveling in an open air golf cart. You could do the tour in inclement weather and still enjoy it. Bring water and wear sunscreen (or whatever you'd need for current weather situation). I took the tour with a friend, and there are lots of opportunities to stop and take pictures in certain places. In others, it's a slow drive by where you can shoot a photo as you pass. A cool way to explore the city and see it from a fresh perspective.

A must do tour in Houston! Loved our tour guide Sarah. Amazing creativity all around! If you live in Houston or just come visit take the time to get to know the city with this great street art tour

Thank you Maria! It was our honor to share the street art with you AND to become more connected to it THROUGH you! Sarah was thrilled to meet you and share our city with you!

Larry was great!

Crystal_M, Jan 2023

Larry was amazing - he was a great driver and interesting and funny historian. We had a great time and would go back again!

Tourist for a day

Abiola_W, Oct 2022

Loved being a tourist in my town! Guide was very knowledgeable, and made the ride fun. We had a great day weather wise which helped too.

A Good Tour!

Michelle_B, Aug 2022

Overall the tour was good. We had to switch time slots because of the Astro's game and we were pushed back an hour and a half. Our tour guide Larry was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. It was a very hot day, so I don't recommend anyone taking the tour on such a day because there is no air conditioning on the ride. Good fun and great photos.

Pretty good and fun intro to Downtown Houston

Ashley_J, Aug 2022

I appreciated the patience of the drivers and willingness to take photos. I would have liked more of an itinerary to know how much time we could spend at each location or how many locations there were. The weather wasn't in our favor and of course that impacted our trip but the drivers were accommodating nevertheless.

Thanks, Larry!

Leslie_H, Jul 2022

Larry was great! When the kids were hungry he was willing to drive us through a drive thru to feed them! Saw some amazing murals and really enjoyed ourselves.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thanks so much! Larry is that kind of guy!

Loved the art

Era_R, Jun 2022

Marna was so funny! She had a great personality and very informative about the artists. She was patient with allowing us to take pictures and took some for us as well

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you for sharing! I had so much fun with y’all too! I love our company but I especially love making our guests happy!

Enjoyed it!

TArgo_W, May 2022
