Absolutely the best general tour of a city we have ever been on. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in a limo. It was personal and informative, and our guide really knew and took pride in his city. In response to other reviews, we were offered 2 stops for bathroom breaks and photo ops. We would definitely recomend. I can't imagine a better introduction to the city for any price!

We had a wonderful experience with our Sightseeing Tour of Houston this weekend. Allen, our tour guide was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent tour of the city. He was very engaging and patient and described in great detail the history of the city during every step of the tour. He was a good storyteller! He was punctual in picking us up. Light snacks and water were provided.. The AC van was tidy and spotless. Highly recommend the tour!
