Loved this day trip, I would visit again. - I loved this tour and such a great way to see Galveston, especially as an out of town tourist that doesn’t drive here. I would recommend as it’s such great value for money.

Great tour, you’ll have fun - The bus trip around Houston was great fun and very informative. Ben was a great guide and everyone had a great time. Then off to Galveston, commentary and good times the whole way. Galveston is an interesting place and Ben kept up with the information and anecdotes. We then had 2 hours and walked around. That could have been longer, but we made the most of it. Though is was quite hot so a cold beverage was required. Not the cheapest thing we’ll do, but fun.

The Best Way to See These Areas - It’s now my opinion that the best way to experience the history and locations that Houston and Galveston have to offer is through this tour. Yes you can see some of the sights of these areas without a tour, but you won’t be able to immerse yourself in the local culture without this experience.

Notice of Cancellation Would Have Been Nice - We booked the Houston Tour and Galveston combo. When we arrived, we were informed the Galveston portion was canceled because too few were signed up. I understand needing a minimum number to make a tour go, but the cutoff should have been a few days before, so we had ample notice to make alternate plans. Being informed as the tour starts is totally unacceptable. We did go on the Houston Tour portion and it was good.

Negative review about Houston City Tours - I booked the tour that was supposed to take place today, 02/27. Last night, I received the confirmation of the tour. However, upon arriving at the meeting point today, I was informed that my tour would not be happening. I traveled from another neighborhood to the departure location, spending USD 18, only to be informed of the cancellation just minutes before the scheduled departure. The treatment by this company is absolutely unacceptable. It was not ethical on the part of this company. I really hope to be reimbursed. Ju Oliveira
