Cathy can explain the history of Chinatown, the local customs, and she knows exactly where to go and have the most of an insightful, memorable journey: visits to temples, supermarkets, have lunch at one of the best Chinese restaurants, and be a part of some unforgettable dragon parades. Also a plus to Cathy who is charming, interesting, funny and friendly.

Phil gave us the ultimate VIP tour. My husband and I (from South Carolina) had only one day to…read morespend in Houston on Friday before our event on Saturday. I researched tour companies in advance of our trip, and I chose "Discover Houston Tours." Phil planned an itinerary and kept in touch with me before our arrival at HOU-Hobby. He communicated with me by phone, text, and email which assured me that I had selected the best tour guide. Our main purpose was to use our "free day" to tour Johnson Space Center. Phil picked us up at the airport and took us on the greatest tour of the Space Center. He guided us to every exhibit, so that no time was wasted. If I had been "on my own," I would never have known how grand the Space Center was. After the Space Center tour, Phil suggested that he had time for a tour of Houston. Phil's knowledge of Houston is unsurpassed. He took us to all the amazing places in Houston, including famous parks, River Oaks, historic sites, landmarks, and an opportunity to admire the skyline and the architectural beauty of buildings and skyscrapers. I am grateful for Phil Stewart's wonderful tour of Houston. Our visit to Houston was perfect!

ArCH houses offices of the American Institute of Architecture, Houston Chapter, the Houston Architecture Foundation, a gallery for rotating architecture-related exhibitions, meeting rooms, and a terrace overlooking Buffalo Bayou. Its mission is to promote awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the ways in which architecture and urban design influence and enhance the quality of life in our community. ArCH is intended to be a place for the public, both Houston residents and tourists, to learn about architecture in general and the built environment of greater Houston. Exhibitions will change approximately every two months and will focus on architecture of national interest as well as that of Houston. The Architecture Center can be rented for evening and weekend events.

I absolutely loved this tour experience! I did the downtown tour for my birthday and I'm so happy I…read moredid. It was so much fun, we had a wide selection of foods, and the guide, Christine, was great. She was sweet, down to earth, and knowledgeable. It's definitely a good amount of food. I was so stuffed by the end I couldn't finish certain dishes. I really liked 6 out of 8 of the dishes which I think is a good proportion considering everything was a surprise. We went to 4 different restaurants. I think everyone's least favorite was the last dessert, but it was okay because we had so much yummy food before then. I highly recommend the tour! The walking was nice since we were eating so much. You also get a little history tour as you walk. It wasn't too much walking so I think it's suitable for older adults and kids (I heard some of the other locations are more walking so be sure to ask if you're concerned). It's a little pricier than some similar tours I found ($70/pp), but they were much more responsive and easier to plan with compared to other places.

I was there for their opening and along with hundreds of other people a few months before that helped paint a few of the strips of wood that went on the Trumpet Flower sculpture so there is really a sense of community about it. Having said that, I was a bit disappointed when I went there recently because while I was there, I kept getting approached by panhandlers asking for money or yelling at each other which kind of makes the area not feel that nice. I mean this is downtown in a major city so like every city it's expected but given that not that it's not that busy of an area, it kind of feels isolated so just be aware of your surroundings and especially watch out for the trains.

As a first time visitor, it was the…read moreperfect way to get oriented and really learn about the city instead of just attending my conference. Ben, our guide, was fantastic -- a true local who clearly loves his hometown. His narration on Houston's architecture, history, and hidden details made the skyline come alive. You could feel the hometown pride in every story he shared. It wasn't just facts -- it was personality, context, and connection. Huge shoutout to Yolanda as well for keeping us safe while navigating all over the city. Houston traffic is no joke, and she handled it like a pro. There are only two hop-off stops -- the Aquarium and Sam Houston Park -- so if you're looking for a fully flexible hop-on-hop-off experience, this isn't that. But honestly, it's a great overview tour and a really efficient way to see and understand Houston in a short amount of time. If you want a solid introduction to the city with knowledgeable locals leading the way, this is a great choice! Support this family owned business.
