Tour checks the must see boxes - Tour with Vanessa and Lou was great. Only in Houston for a few days and this is a great way to see and learn about the city. Toured on a Sunday morning so streets were quiet. AC was much appreciated in August 😉 Saw lots of the things that were on the must see list when in Houston 🤠

Smooth touring - Comfortable way to see several different areas of Houston with photo stops! Our guide Vanessa was super all-around. She gave us a whole bunch of recommendations for other places/restaurants in the city. As someone coming from Virginia, I found a lot of the Texas based history to be interesting the way it was presented. Our driver Louie was also insightful and made the drive smooth even with those "Texas sized potholes". I highly recommend this tour especially early on your trip if possible

Last day in Houston - What a fantastic way to experience Houston. Vanessa and Lou were a great combo, and so knowledgeable about all the areas. The picture opportunities were amazing, and Vanessa took amazing photos of the group. We had previously stayed near Galleria and had no idea of all the areas around downtown so this was a great way to experience everything.. some great recommendations along the way. Would defo recommend this trip to anyone visiting

Houston, we got a tour - Miss Vanessa and her driver Louis made a great host duo!! I appreciated the cold water after our photo stops and opportunities to get some good photos together as a group despite the brutal Texas heat. FYI, you are allowed to stay in the vehicle if you don't want photos... One of the complete and well-planned city tours I've ever been on

Fun and cool insights into HXT - We visited Houston for the first time and Vanessa and Luis’s tour was the perfect starting point. Vanessa is a very charming and knowledgeable host and Luis a great driver with additional insights. They both are super friendly and welcoming, taking best care of their guests and providing them with a cooled Mercedes Van (essential given Houston’s climate), water, and plenty of photo opportunities. You will visit places you would not see on you own and learn a lot on HTX’s culture, economics, and history. Highly recommend!
