Family trip to Houston - We enjoyed our downtown tour. Our tour guide Billi was great. She kept the conversation fun and showed us interesting places we would not have seen on our own. Overall, an excellent introduction to Houston!

Excellent - Great overview of the City. See lots of things you would otherwise miss. Walked a couple of very interesting parks and gardens, visited a temple. The best part was the knowledgeable and personable tour guide, Billi. She was the difference between a “good tour” and a “GREAT tour”. Great value and good time was had by all. 10/10

Great tour and guide. - Our tour guide Billi was great and easy to talk to. The three hour tour was filled with information. We made a few stops and saw some stadiums. One is to host the World Cup 26 group games which is a tiny one relative to other hosting sites. Overall, I highly recommend this tour.

Nice afternoon - Great driving tour around Houston. Zach, our guide & driver, did an excellent job showing us the sights. Explaining the history of Houston. It was a good mix of driving & getting out of the van for walks & photo opportunities.

Great tour of downtown Houston from a friendly and knowledgeable guide - Fun Texas Tours is a well run company and my tour guide was excellent. The meeting point downtown near the Convention Center was easy to find and the stops along the tour were well-planned and engaging. Over the course of 2 hours I learned enough about Houston and its neighborhoods and site that it enhanced the rest of my stay. If you are looking for a tour of Houston, this company was great.

Great way to learn about... - Great way to learn about Houston as newcomers. Billi was very knowledgeable, personable and it was a good mix of in and out of the car (with AC) time.

Awesome experience with a great tour guide. - I had such a good time on the Best of Houston Sightseeing Tour. It was the perfect way to get a feel for the city in just a few hours. The small-group setup made it more personal and comfortable, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fun facts about Houston’s history, neighborhoods, and culture. We hit all the highlights without feeling rushed, and I got some great photos along the way. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Houston—it’s a great mix of fun, information, and sightseeing!

Needs improvement!! - The selection of sites visited didn’t capture much of what was in the description. Much of the time was spent in the city, not much exposure outside.
