Tour of Houston

We liked seeing the Emancipation park, Rice University, battle against Santa Ana and NASA Space Center. Only issue was getting around construction.
Not worth it

Difficult to sightsee
Marcie_S
, Jun 2022
The tour was difficult to follow. There were two of us in the car, and I was busy trying to follow the directions and the driver was busy following the directions, and neither one of us could enjoy looking at the sights. There was one street on the tour that we never did find… went around the park three times.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Thanks for the feedback Marcie. Driving in Houston can definitely be a struggle, especially when there’s traffic in downtown. If you have the chance to check out the second half of the tour, you may find it a lot easier — it’s pretty much straight roads and simple turns, ending with a drive over to NASA.

Sharing Houston with visiting family.
Several of stops were blocked off because of events being held.
Not notified adequately on how to correct.
Several important sightseeing stops —athletic stops and historic areas not included
Took longer than 2-3 hours to complete.

Great Idea…. Went Too far out of town
Laura_C
, Feb 2022
Great way to see Houston at your leisure! Price is good! Disappointed that the tour did not take us to the Big Water Wall! Did not have to go so far out of town towards the Space Center…. Just mentioning it would be fine! Would have enjoyed seeing a few of the cities famed murals! Would try in another city…preferred over the bus tours and the historic info shared was very interesting!
Response from Host , Feb 2022
Thanks Laura, I’m so glad you liked the tour! Now that some roadwork in Houston has been wrapped up, we’ll be adding some of the popular sights you mentioned back in. Thanks for the insight about the Space Center -- will definitely consider that during our next tour update. We have tons of self-guided tours in other cities (Boston, SF, Miami, etc) as well as national parks (Great Smoky, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, etc) -- all available on ActionTourGuide.com. Thanks again!
I liked it

I actually ran out of time so I didn’t do most of the tour, but I listened to the entire thing and looked at the pictures which helped me to determine what to go back and see further.
Great

Great Experience

This was such a great tour. I even like how the app picks up where you left off and helps you navigate to each destination.
Response from Host , Oct 2021
Thank you so much! Houston has so much to offer and we love being able to tell all of its wonderful stories at each spot around town. We have more self-guided tours across the country (details at ActionTourGuide.com) and I hope you get the chance to check them out for your future travels. Thanks again!
Could be better

It's a good idea of a tour however I personally would have liked a bit more of sites to see within the city or downtown. Versus historical parts which some we could not find. The information for the sites and spits were very knowledgeable.
City tour by your own!

It was great!! Maybe would be great if the route can be marked in google maps to follow it in carplay

Fun facts but frustrating drive
Jennifer_J
, Mar 2021
We enjoyed the fun facts, but navigating between the tour app and Google maps was a bit frustrating. We were lost several times, and after 2 hours of looping around we gave up.
Response from Host , Mar 2021
Thanks for letting us know! It sounds like using both the tour and Google Maps (presumably with the Go To button) was difficult. Could you tell us if you were able to follow the route on the app’s map without using the Go To option? I personally find that more convenient because there’s no toggling required. We are considering taking away the Go To button entirely since following the route is a better experience anyway. Would love to hear your thoughts — please email us. Also, since you didn’t have a great experience, we’d be more than happy to issue a refund.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
