Private Houston tour - Worth the money. We had the tour guide and Van to ourselves, it was spacious and comfortable. We got to stop at places of interests for customized photo prop photos and got a great look at Houston’s parks, museums, skylines and graffiti. The city of Houston is humongous, we thought this was a pretty neat way to see as much as possible since we only had about 48 hours in city. I would definitely recommend to other families and travel groups in Houston for a limited time and would try to do it early in your trip. We ended up going back to 2/3 places we saw on the tour

Our 1st visit to Houston - My son and his wife had moved to Houston in May and this was our first visit to see them so I wanted to surprise them with a tour of the city to feel more comfortable finding their way around Houston. Our tour guide Vanessa had so much information and wonderful tips on getting around the city including its tunnel system, restaurants, downtown train system, museums, parks, financial center, and sports stadiums. Vanessa was patient, welcoming and sweet. Her driver Luis also was great and shared interesting info and recommendations for both the Space Center and Galveston.
We would recommend taking this tour early in your trip to Houston so that you can comeback to the places they show off and try some of their recommendations! Our favorite parts of Houston were how clean the downtown was and their well-kept humongous museum district which had tons to do and interesting photo-ops with local monuments

Excellent Private experience - A notch above 95% of tours I've been on and not because Houston has as much interesting attractions as a New York/Paris/Tokyo but because the tour guides were among the best and went Above & Beyond to make this memorable. The photo stops and information shared were all well-chosen and it felt personalized as it should have for a Private tour. Believe it not, that's not always the case. If you can get her, ask for Vanessa as the tour guide

Private Experience - This private city tour was pretty convenient since we only had 2 days in Houston, and much of the day was spent on work. They worked around my schedule and limited time. We saw EVERYTHING from parks, stadiums, museums, and even got to go inside a Art museum for pictures on the roof!!! Louis and Vanessa were hands down some of the best guides I've had in any city tours including European and Asian cities. I would 1000 percent recommend a Private tour if you want something personalized and want photos of just your group

Houston. We don't have a problem. - The guide Vanessa and the driver Luis were super attentive and demonstrated a lot of knowledge of the city. We were positively surprised by the city. The city tour was very good. I would like to highlight that the service provided by the office (Rich) was also excellent. Very attentive, practical and effective.

Yes to Private - I have used this company for previous trips to Houston and loved their food tour so decided to give them a shot with private tour during a holiday trip. It was absolutely worth the time and money even if traveling with just immediate family. The guides Dan and Julie were extremely hands on and allowed us ample time at each stop, offered us photos, specialized recs and privately run just for us. Don’t worry about getting sick or not enough time for photos and questions, yes to private.

Family Holiday Experience - Had a phenomenal time joining two tours while my family was in town! Our group had older folks that did amazing on the private driving tour and the teens and family loved all the photos on the tunnel tour. Each was a unique and amazing holiday experience. I did reach out to their office to book the tour directly to confirm details.

Private is the WAY to go - If you have family from out of town, then is is very handy to have Astroville at your side. As someone who is busy and didn’t have time to plan a itinerary or research places to visit, this private tour took away the stress. It was smooth pickup process, detailed tour with nice stops for photos, and really made a lasting impression on my relatives who never really liked Houston before the tour but kept talking about how big and how much is going on after the tour 😂😂
