Ideal for Pokemon fans - Great tour around Houston Downtown for those that enjoy Pokemon. My child had a blast catching Pokemon while driving around places that our approachable tour guide knew as b st spots for that purpose. This tour was my Christmas gift to my daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great experience for the entire family. - We had a great time. We were fortunate to get the owner of Joyride as our guide. While our son hunted Pokémon, our guide informed us about the city and recommended many cool places to visit. Will use Joyride again.

A lot of fun - I had never played Pokemon Go before but my sister loves it. So, for her birthday a friend and I took her to Houston for this Pokemon Go tour. My friend and I went ahead and downloaded it to our phones first so that she would not feel alone. The guide was super informative and even knew things that my sister who has played for 10 years didn't know. She had a blast and even though I had never played before my friend and I also had a lot of fun and gained a huge amount of knowledge. Proud to say I am not level 20 and my friend is level 15. My sister is like level a million. This was well worth it and who knows I may end up going on my birthday next.

Great tour for Pokémon fans and others! - Guide Sarah drove around the best Pokémon spots for our son. Meanwhile, the rest of us learned lots about Houston. We saw many murals and buildings and this made it a great tour for us too! We felt safe and comfortable!

Kb - This was the cutest city tour while my grandson looked for Pokémon !! I learned a lot about the downtown and history which was really cool. Larry was awesome telling us history stories about certain places. Make sure you see the murals he knew about those too. I highly recommend this as a quick overview while entertaining kids .

Not really as advertised - The tour guide was nice but I didn’t realize this is a golf cart tour so in the heat that should be noted. Also as far as Pokémon goes we thought the tour guide would help my son and give tips or actually walk around at the spots. We were literally dropped off at 2 parks downtown and told to go walk around. Something I could have done on my own. The tour operator had her son with her and he was playing Pokémon go in the golf cart but did not really interact with us.

Would Rate Zero if possible - I honestly don’t even know where to start. The “tour guide” was rude and uninterested. She never introduced herself and acted like she didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked if she was there to meet us for our tour. The picture shows a vehicle that looks like a van but it was a golf cart. We got on hoping the tour would improve as we got going. The “guide” did not speak to us or even tell us where we were heading or what the plan was. She did not show us anything. As she was swerving and weaving through traffic, she was playing Pokémon go herself. And she was chatting with some man in the front seat. Yeah I forgot to mention she brought a friend or someone along with her. Idk who he was because like I said she never introduced herself or the guy. She was also yelling at pedestrians who were crossing the street. The pedestrians were crossing in the crosswalk at the appropriate time when they had the signal to go but she was arguing and yelling at them. We got off the so call “tour” and walked back to our starting point. I complained to the tour contact who I had spoken with about arranging the tour. She was argumentative and defensive. The advertising is misleading and I hope you don’t believe what they say. Please don’t waste your money. This is a big time rip off and my son was very disappointed. He was looking for a fun experience and thought he would have a guide and a knowledgeable person to make it even more fun. She might be a knowledgeable person but didn’t bother to share a scrap of information and didn’t care if it was a good experience for us or not. And clearly the employer didn’t care either. We learned a lesson.
