Victor was one of the best city tour guides I’ve had in recent memory. Personable, knowledgeable and helpful with offering photos. To be honest, we did not really like Houston before doing this tour but he completely changed our perspective and captured the heart of the city within just 2 hours. My favorite part was stopping for cowboy pictures with the monument of the horse and nearby beautiful park. I would recommend to do this early in your trip because he gave us a lot of food and attractions to return to but we only had 1 night left

Vanessa was a knowledgeable tour guide. Very friendly and we got to see off the beaten path locales in Houston and of course the iconic WE LOVE HOUSTON image
Michael_F
The guide was great and provided a good initial overview of the city! Having never been to Houston before, this was the perfect initial tour.

This was a great tour and overview of Houston. My husband, myself and our 19 year old daughter all enjoyed. Van was well air conditioned which was very necessary. Tour guide was really informative, friendly and helpful. Only improvement would be to have bottled water available as it got very hot.

Need to explore Houston and not sure where to start? Vanessa is your girl. I took the tour before I went to see Beyoncé, and this was the perfect way to pregame. On the morning of the tour, Vanessa texted me with details on exactly where to meet her, which was greatly appreciated. I was pleasantly surprised when I approached the van and heard her playing Beyoncé music, which got me in the mood for the show. Vanessa was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to all the must-see places downtown. You can tell she takes great pride in her city, which made the tour that much more enjoyable. I appreciated exploring the city from a Mercedes van with AC instead of suffering through muggy heat and rain. Our bus was full of Beyhive members, and I truly appreciated her going the extra mile to take us to the new Beyoncé mural. I had an amazing time despite the weather, and will look into taking other Astrovile tours when I am back in town.
