Excellent Tour

Christine_V, Mar 2024

Very good and informative tour. They were flexible and even recommended adding the mural tour, which was also very good.

Just go!

JOHN_B, Mar 2024

Great tour, well informed couple sharing their city. Fun, informative and interesting. Saw lots of history, sport venues, art and murals. Even saw an art show that we walked to after the tour. Art. Good & music. Made our day. Try the shaved icecream.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you! There is always something great going on in the city!

Fun city tour!

We had fun sharing the city and add on murals with you!

Memories

Warren_B, Mar 2024

Our stop at Lauren’s Garden in Market Square Park. My wife and I were celebrating our 54th wedding anniversary the day of our tour. Seeing the memorial reminded us of where we were and what we were doing that horrible day, and reminded us of how blessed we have been to be able to celebrate so many years of life together. There so many who lost their lives that day that had husbands and wives who would never see them in this world again.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

It’s one of my favorite places in the city and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Learned so much!

Amanda_M, Feb 2024

Our tour guides the Robertson's were an awesome and knowledgeable couple. We learned a lot about Houston and it opened up areas we had never ventured before.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thanks Amanda! We love our city and sharing it with others! We are so glad you enjoyed it!

A must-do when you're in Houston!

Great Tour of Downtown Houston

William_E, Jul 2023

This short tour fit our specific need to get a quick but pretty complete overview of the history of Houston and what is has evolved to today. Sara(h) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the city and gave us insights we would never been able to get on our own in the time we had available to learn first hand. We loved versatility and maneuverability of the five passenger "cart" used to take the tour. Highly recommended.

Great Tour

Derrick_W, Jun 2023

Kudos to Robby who provided a impressive tour and very informative with great knowledge. The tour was very fun, weather was nice and food at pick up point was delicious 😋

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thanks!! We love our tours AND Space City Birria!

Viator one ⭐️; Tour Operator ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MargaretFrylink_T, Jun 2023

Viator offered an 0800 tour. The tour operator texted to say Viator made a mistake and they don’t start before 1000. Kudos to the tour operator, but👎👎👎 to Viator.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

I know! It has been so disappointing and frustrating! Because you gave Viator ⭐️, it goes against us. Anyway you could fix it??

Tour guide showed us...

Whitney_M, Apr 2023

Tour guide showed us things he was interested in (graffiti) and almost nothing that we showed interest in (history, food, bars, etc.)

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Our sightseeing tours cover ALL of the city landmarks, history and points of interest. We pride ourselves in that. We also are open to answering questions our guests are curious about in our city. It is unfortunate that you did not communicate with your guide during your tour. He would have been more than happy to answer your questions.

Unhappy customers

Wheatonia_C, Mar 2023

The trip started off real rough. We were scheduled for 4:30 which got moved to 5:15 we had 6 people the vehicle could only accommodate 5 comfortably so we were sitting on top of each other. The driver did ok but I do not feel I got what I paid for. I've used viator in other cities and this was one of the worst ones.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We take pride in accommodating our guests and providing the best experience possible. We are disappointed that in your eyes we fell short.
