Good knowledge of history and facts. Wish the coverage area was broader and reached areas outside downtown.

Excellent tour; the route provided a snapshot of Houston. Our guide, Ben, was personable, funny, and provided a very informative commentary that complimented the sites nicely.

We did the Houston's Official City & Mural Tour, it was a great experience. We enjoyed and knew the beautiful Houston. The tour let us to know interesting information about the city, buildings, etc.

1 1/2 hours driving through an empty Sunday city. About the only time the guide spoke was when coming up on a mural or historic building. Lots of silent time that should have been filled with something more about the city.

Our driver was very good driver, entertaining and informative about Houston’s history. A great experience and would do it again.

The tour was good and the guide was great. Would have been 5 stars if they knew the name of the Gulf Of America. The guide and the on- bus recording don't know that the name changed.

This would be a top priority, but bring literal money to leave a tip. We only had a card and a $100 bill with us and we could not tip the driver. I felt so bad because it was a wonderful trip.
