Best Illuminated City Tour In Houston Near Me

4worldlovers: I heard of this company before in Dallas, so I am so glad they have made their way down to Houston! The whole process was really easy and anyone I asked questions to answered all of them with great help. My family and I had a great time on the tour, and learned a lot of cool and interesting information about Houston. The Welcome to Houston tour was super informative, as it took us everywhere with a detailed explanation of the attraction and time to take pictures. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to know more about the city!

We did the short 75min tour with David. He was very nice and gave a great tour. I would have liked some more background info on Houston and its history but overall knowledgeable and helpful. A great way to get an overview of the city when you're short on time and get a gist for the different areas downtown.

What a great tour I was in Houston only for one day , and have just a few hours. The booking was very simple, the company text me 45 minutes before the tour and inform me where they going to meet me. I was very impressed with the customer service and attention to my reservation. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, polite, funny and accommodating. When I will be back I’m going to take a few more tours from this company. Highly recommend it
