Jeff was knowledgeable and made the tour interesting during and at every stop. He made sure to save the best story for last at every stop. He also shared interesting facts about other things along the way.

Very great if you are from or not from the area. You get to hear facts you may not know about Houston’s history.

Johnathan Gonzalez is a very knowledgeable and personable paranormal tour guide. He was also very accommodating when the earlier tour at 7pm. was canceled unexpectedly. I was very impressed with his Historical knowledge of the buildings in Marketsquare. If you are looking for something to do before you go bar hoping in Downtown Houston. This is the tour to do.

Went on the 1 hour tour with Jeff with some friends. He was very knowledgeable about the different places that we stopped and each story was told very clearly where everyone could hear and with some humor. It was cool to learn about the history of some of these old buildings - I have lived and worked in and around Houston all my life and it was fun to learn new things about the city. Even with the rain coming in, Jeff led the tour efficiently and was a pleasure.
