Great introduction - Great way to see several different popular areas of Houston and learn some history! Think Allen was our driver Saturday and he was super friendly and a wealth of information. Van was comfortable and enjoyed a few snacks and complimentary water. Highly recommended!

All-Star Gives A 5-Star Tour. - My wife and I live in Houston but had family visiting from out of town. So we decided to book a tour as a quick and easy way to show our guests the city. We booked the 2.5 hour Houston sightseeing tour. Gregory was a great tour guide that told us everything there was to know about Houston. He was knowledgeable, personable and professional. We covered downtown, midtown, museum district. We drove through River Oaks and saw how the rich and famous live. Gregory also gave us great tips on other attractions to visit and a few restaurants to try. It was a great tour. Money well spent. Even if you live in Houston I guarantee you'll learn new things about Houston like we did!!!

Houston through the eyes of a Houstonian - Our tour of Houston was amazing. Our driver, Greg, picked us up at the Galleria and drove us through beautiful sections of Houston, where we got to see the theater district, the museum district, Buffalo Bayou, and more. Greg was friendly, informative, and an all-around pleasant person to be around, and he clearly loves his hometown!

Money Well Spent - I highly recommend this tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out restaurants, entertainment and places to see while we were here. We also learned a lot about the history of Houston. One of the perks was an air conditioned vehicle which is important when you visit Houston in June. I love that it picked us up right at our hotel, and dropped us at a location of our choice in the downtown area. The tour group was small (less than 10 people) which made for a more personalized experience. Well worth the money.
