Very nice and knowledgeable tourist. He knew so much about the city and it was nice to hear all of the information. Only cons are that it can be difficult to see all of the sights because you don't get out of the car and that the hour and a half includes pickup/drop off. Wished the timing would have been clearer and that it stopped at points so we could get a better view and take pictures.

This was such a fun city tour! I have lived outside of Houston for many years so it was neat to go on a tour and hear historical facts, and see unique landmarks and art work I would have never noticed on my own. Sarah was our guide and she was really kind and knowledgeable. I like how she customized the tour according to our interests. I will definitely plan another tour when I have guest come down to visit.
