Amazing tour! - Our host Billi had such high energy and was very knowledgeable! This tour gave me a new appreciation for Houston. I never knew the city had a community garden downtown dedicated to feeding those without homes and food. We learned a lot about the history of Houston and got a chance to witness up close and personal its wonderful culture. The tour took about 3 hours so make sure to plan accordingly. We were able to get out and take pictures/videos at every stop. Great tour, great city!

Interesting, but not extraordinary. - Our guide Zach was very friendly and tried very hard, but the approached "spots" were not so interesting/exceptional overall. Maybe it's the city of Houston itself. So no reproach to Zach.

Flop - Our tour guide didn’t seem to be very knowledgeable (“some guests told me Christian Science Reading room belongs to …, I guess this is a Catholic Church. I wanted to google it but forgot. This is… or something”). Very little historical or anecdotal information, didn’t appear to care whether the guests could actually hear him (“oh, the microphone was too far away from my mouth”. A minute later it was far away again). Sentences like “this is the … hotel, … and there is the … hotel” are not helpful at all if the guide doesn’t point out in words or visible gestures which buildings in a densely build out area he is talking about. Also more information about these and other buildings, art work etc. would have been appreciated. Disappointing.
