About the excursion
1st WELCOME TO HOUSTON 3 hours
All-in-all, Houston landmarks are more than worthy of the time and effort it would take to see and appreciate their beauty.
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 $5,000 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.
2nd SPACE CENTER
Space Center Houston, the Official Visitor Center of NASA Johnson Space Center, is Houston’s No. 1 attraction for international visitors and the first Smithsonian Affiliate in the greater Houston area.
Discover the exciting future and remarkable past of America’s human spaceflight program set among the largest collection of space artifacts in the southwestern United States. There is always something new to see and do. With more than 400 space artifacts including flown spacecraft, the largest collection of moon rocks on public display, and at multiple major seasonal exhibits a year, Space Center Houston offers an array of exciting attractions for people of all ages.
Explore the red planet during your next visit to our new Mission Mars exhibit. Experience a virtual Martian sunset, climb into a simulated Orion capsule, and feel the texture of rock cliffs inspired by the red planet in our brand-new interactive exhibit. Discover what it takes to travel to Mars, what hardware will get us to the fourth planet in our solar system and how humans may live on the red planet in the next few decades.
A must-see is the international landmark Independence Plaza presented by Boeing. It is the only shuttle replica mounted on a shuttle carrier aircraft and the only place where visitors can enter both vehicles. The eight-story, multiple-exhibit complex gives visitors a rare glimpse into the historic shuttle era and the NASA breakthroughs and technological advances gained from the Space Shuttle Program which impacted future exploration.
Don’t miss Space Center Houston’s most popular attraction, the NASA Tram Tour. This is your chance to go on-site at NASA Johnson Space Center and get a behind-the-scenes look at human space exploration. Explore Rocket Park, where one of only three of the remaining actual Saturn V rockets is displayed. Visit Historic Mission Control from which NASA led Gemini and Apollo missions, including the first lunar landing. Discover the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility where NASA astronauts train and where scientists are developing the next generation of space exploration vehicles. The nonprofit Space Center Houston draws more than 200,000 teachers and students from around the world annually to take part in its extraordinary learning opportunities. Students train underwater like an astronaut and discover space science through immersive, hands-on activities in year-round educational programs like Space Center University.

Feedback
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.
We found the whole excursion a very enjoyable experience. Our guide had an excellent sense of humidity and made the tour an interesting and informative time. We have no hesitation in recommendinng 5 stars to our guide.
Great company. The van was comfortable, and clean. Very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. I highly recommend it to everybody.
Had a great time on our small group tour. It ended up just being us and the tour was great! Saw so many things we would have never seen by ourselves. The small group aspect was so nice because we were able to stay at home places longer and others shorter depemding on our interests. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable.
Was torn trying to figure out which company to use to tour Houston. This was the BEST choice we made! It was for smaller groups (COVID rules practiced), in the A/C and because we were a small group, we were able to stop more and stay at certain places longer. This is a great investment and one of the better ways to see the greatest of Houston. Also, David was very knowledgable. If I could give more stars, I would.
The tour was excellent and you get to see a lot of wonderful areas that one would misson their own. Tour guide Alex made us feel very welcome and like if we were his family member.
The best thing we did in Houston this weekend. This tour was amazing. Alex was a very knowledgeable and thorough tour guide. The tour was so detailed and fascinating.I’d highly recommend requesting Alex as the tour guide. You’ll leave this tour knowing much more than you knew going in…and if you’re like me…it may result in more mind-bending questions!
I only had the day for sightseeing and the tour was perfect. It’s includes seeing of different districts and historical points. Our tour guide Alex was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and ready to answer questions I would highly recommend going to Houston tours to everybody.
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
While in Houston last week, I was interested in taking the Small-Group Sightseeing Tour of Houston. With so many tour offerings, I received a recommendation from the hotel. It turned out to be the best decision. The tour covered all of the most relevant places along the route. Alex was super knowledgeable about all of the related subjects It was so good, I look forward to revisit it again. I would highly recommend this company for the Houston tour or any other service that they offer. Thanks again Alex. Great job!
Wow! What an awesome (and FUN) tour experience! I absolutely loved the small group format and would highly recommend this company for sight seeing and learning about Houston's history. The tour guide was entertaining and had me smiling the whole time! Great service. Thank you for the great memories!
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!
