What are people saying about Houston
You can indulge your inner astronaut at the Space Center for hours, but Houston tours ensure you explore the rest of the Texas-sized city during your visit. Sightseeing outings whisk you around highlights from the Historic District to Buffalo Bayou Park and Minute Maid Park, while brewery and bar tours mix drinks with Main Street murals and local history. You can even explore the city’s vast underground tunnel system—it connects 95 city blocks—with a guide, and make sure to visit the Museum of Natural Science and, yes, the NASA Space Center.
