The Best Way to See These Areas - It’s now my opinion that the best way to experience the history and locations that Houston and Galveston have to offer is through this tour. Yes you can see some of the sights of these areas without a tour, but you won’t be able to immerse yourself in the local culture without this experience.

Excellent experience ! - Our guide was so very accommodating and knowledgeable. Most enjoyable. An excellent way to spend the day and learn about the Houston, Galveston area.

Highly Recommend - Highly highly recommend this company to do tours with. Very organised, friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable guides, experienced drivers. Just an overall great experience!

Amazing experience! - What a wonderful experience! Ben, our tour guide was one of the best tour guides I've seen in my many domestic and foreign travels. The amazing history lesson on Texas in general, Houston and Galveston in particular and his pleasant personality made the tour a lot of fun. Thank you, Ben!

The trip was cancelled by... - The trip was cancelled by Tour operator . What to say on a cancelled tour . Nothing to add on this trip. Last minute cancellation is not good for a tourist

Great day trip - The company offices in downtown houston are excellent, and the check-in process was easy. We started out on the open top bus with Ben as our tour guide. Ben is friendly and professional and has a great knowledge of the city. It was very informative, and as it was a Sunday, there was no traffic to contend with. The tour is mainly buildings and murals and is a non-stop ride of just over an hour. We then transferred to a comfy minivan and drove an hour to Galveston Island. This is a lovely day trip with quant shopping on the strand and great restaurants on the pier. Ben prebooked a table at Katie's Seafood house so we didn't have to wait for anyone that wanted to go, but it was optional. Our group opted to eat here, and it's highly recommended. All in all a good day out.

Pleasant - First tour guide around town was great. Very informative and fun. Guide & driver to Galveston were underwhelming. Didn’t seem focussed on group at all. Overall though it was a good day out.

Galveston…a ‘must visit’ when in Houston - The trip was great in that it got us to Galveston with no stress or organisation…Galveston is a must see on a trip to Houston. However we needed more time there & didn't get close to getting around all the wonderful shops & soak in the area. Next time I would Uber much earlier in the day & spend the whole day there.

Negative review about Houston City Tours - I booked the tour that was supposed to take place today, 02/27. Last night, I received the confirmation of the tour. However, upon arriving at the meeting point today, I was informed that my tour would not be happening. I traveled from another neighborhood to the departure location, spending USD 18, only to be informed of the cancellation just minutes before the scheduled departure. The treatment by this company is absolutely unacceptable. It was not ethical on the part of this company. I really hope to be reimbursed. Ju Oliveira

Complete Rip off with no apology or consideration total loss for us steal for the tour Co. - We signed up for Mansions in Galveston. We are Texans we are familiar with Gulf coast beaches, a drive by to see beach and sea wall is fine, but to dig into our mansion seeing to stop and look at the sea wall was a waste. Have you All seen the sea wall? you now what I mean. The morning tour was spent seeing Houston Murals which dug into our Galveston sight seeing, nice but we did not sign up for murals. The woman was running 10 min late to take us out to Galseston. she dropped us off for lunch at 1:42 and stated she would pick us up @ 3:30 she was another 10 min late for pick up. By lunch time we had seen no mansions only the sea wall. one hour would have been enough for lunch so we could have seen some mansions she finally got us over to one mansion, but they were closing and the gift shop was all we were allowed to enter which was the kitchen part of the Mansion. she said she would take us to see sculptures we saw one Dog. so we saw 1/4 of a mansion and one Dog sculpture. then we left the island and instead of taking us back to the station she played uber and went to pick up someone they left at NASA. so she cut our sight seeing short to uber some people they left at NASA and dug into our time by taking us on a non wanted trip to the parking lot of NASA. She had no real knowledge of the History of Galveston, she had mostly very base knowledge so even the stuff she showed us was non- educational. The gift shop at the one mansion had several books on the history of the Island if I were her Id buy and read them. We learned they had 3 people call in sick. I feel at That point they should have told us it would not be a good sight seeing trip and allow us to decide if we wanted go on it or not. Total waste of time and 300.00 . That uber trip to nasa was the icing on the horror cake. I want our money back this was a complete crock. My aunt was so looking forward to seeing and learning about this city and its Mansions and history. We saw One sculpture and 1/4th of a mansion and we walked off the van to see a very non impressive sea wall which if you all have ever seen it you would know. She had no real knowledge of history it was not a professional Tour it was some Dick off the street taking us out to see the city.
