Our tour guide Billi was great and easy to talk to. The three hour tour was filled with information. We made a few stops and saw some stadiums. One is to host the World Cup 26 group games which is a tiny one relative to other hosting sites. Overall, I highly recommend this tour.
The genesis of Houston began as The Allen brothers—Augustus and John Allen—explored Buffalo Bayou and Galveston Bay for potential land sites to establish a new town in 1837. Their investment of less than $10,000 seems incredulous as one now looks at one of the most beautiful cities in the United States. Houston is indeed a city of international renown and boasts some marvelous landmarks. Guests to Houston will want to give themselves plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds.

Great driving tour around Houston. Zach, our guide & driver, did an excellent job showing us the sights. Explaining the history of Houston. It was a good mix of driving & getting out of the van for walks & photo opportunities.

Fun Texas Tours is a well run company and my tour guide was excellent. The meeting point downtown near the Convention Center was easy to find and the stops along the tour were well-planned and engaging. Over the course of 2 hours I learned enough about Houston and its neighborhoods and site that it enhanced the rest of my stay. If you are looking for a tour of Houston, this company was great.
