Great Tour Guide but not ideal weather - The tour guide was great! I loved his sense of humor and knowledge about the city. However, it was an extremely hot day which made our experience less enjoyable. Also, I would've preferred the option of hopping on and off at each location, but unfortunately that type of tour was not offered in Houston.

Take this tour in early spring ot late fall but not in July-August - We had 11:30 AM tour, it was so warm and humid. This should not be a July activity. We saw nice places, our driver gave good amount of information about the town, history and life style. I did not like to stop three times in 1.5 hr tour. Every stop was under the sun, even after I pointed out the shades just few ft front of us, she did not consider to move the bus.

Rude and abusive Manager - The website says we can reschedule for a different date. An employee did exactly that for me when I approached her about the situation of some members of my family won't be able to make it to the original date. When I go to use my pending tickets, there was an angry and rude manager that wouldn't let me. When the employee who posponed the date and provided service to me arrived, that Manager ran to talk to her. She said if I want to take the tout, I had to spend another over 100$ again. They are very abusives there . Manager is very rude and unprofessional. The judgement of the entire management is very poor. I wouldn't recommend this place to tourist.
