What are people saying about Houston

Astroville Houston Tunnel Tour: Downtown History & Hidden Gems

Emily_S, Oct 2026

Tunnel tour! Heck yeah!

Diana was the BEST tour guide I’ve had in a long time! So knowledgeable, funny and engaging! I believe fantastic makes the tour and this one did not disappoint! Tunnels? Who knew? Apparently a lot of people don’t know they exist in downtown Houston! If you’re into architecture and history, this tour should not be skipped! We beat the Houston heat too!

HTX Adventure Park Admission – ATV Rental Fee Not Included

Nekeyshia_R, Oct 2026

Sweet 16

Your admission still has to be paid at the gate cause what you pay on line goes towards your Atv or jet ski rental. Cash is needs and the atm charge $10. Besides that, ski mask for the dust, to protect your hair, nose and shades for your eye. An AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Ben, Sept 2026

Had an amazing day

Clear instructions on meeting place. Remote support is responsive if you have any questions. Mike drove us around. Had to detour on way home but handled it like a pro. Meredith took our group on a space journey. Her dad worked on the LEM, a special connection. Passionate guide. Lots to cover and pace picked up as weather was turning bad. Got the essentials covered and seen before moving on to the mission control tour. That was pretty special to see. Had to leave sooner than planned so we didn't get rained in. Grateful we made it as that tour was cancelled the day before due to weather. Did have a little misunderstanding about joining the tram tour to MC but Viator support and SCH guest services sorted it. We were driven in a van to join the group and arrived just as the presentation started. All was good in the end.. Highly recommend this tour, there are a few variables that can influence your day but just go with the flow, relax and take it ALL in. An incredible visit was had and we left tired but so thrilled to have seen such incredible bravery and sacrifice that paved the way to humanities return to the moon and beyond. We have other Viator tours booked on this trip including Cape Canaveral. Can't wait. Oh, IMPORTANT, PHOTOS. DO NOT TAKE A SELFIE STICK, TRIPOD, CAMERA GEAR OR GO PRO, DJI, GIMBAL GEAR. USE ONLY YOUR MOBILE PHONE AND TAKE A POWER BANK. For families with children, please be considerate of other tour group members. The departure does not get held up for you. You do not disrupt an active presentation by NOT listening to instructions and have an entitled attitude "I have children" . DO NOT walk ahead of the guide, it's why it's called a guided tour!! If this is YOU, a group tour is NOT for you! Today was disrupted by a selfish family of 5 on several occasions. Despite this the guides remained professional and accommodating under trying circumstances. Well done overall to Viator and SCH. Thank you for a wonderful day!!!

Alan was very...

Alan was very knowledgeable in explaining the history of all 4 of the major zones that he took us too in the city. He was kind, curious and his van was extremely clean. I originally from Houston and thought this was a nice way to show my friend visiting from the our beautiful town. I will absolutely take other friends visiting Houston on Alan's tour in the future!

Houston: NASA Space Center Ticket & Round-Trip Transportation

AnneBigelow, Jul 2026

Tour incl transport to NASA

We had to visit NASA when in Houston. The transporation van was comfortable and our driver, Mike was pleasant and courteous. NASA didn't dissappoint even with the passing showers due to Hirrocane Bertha hitting the Gulf. Dont miss the Mission Control Tour (added charge) but pro tip, do all the tours first, then the movies, then the rest of NASA.

Different experience and fun! The professors were high energy and keep us engaged. The DJ was spot on with music throughout the experience and the bartender had the drinks on point. The volume was on 100 from start to finish. We had a good time and I would do it all over again!

Meow Wolf's Radio Tave in Houston

Ann_N, Apr 2026

Lots of colors

All the art is very colorful i love finding the hidden doors and passage ways. Unfortunately one of my friends couldn't make it through for very long. The exhibit scared her. She called it demonic. I didnt think so. Nor did my remaining friends. Oh and the bar was fun I like the demon, Eloc crying into his beer. Downloaded the app for a more interactive trip. And some behind the scenes info.

Captain Ben was amazing....

Captain Ben was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the tour. He made sure we all were able to see the dolphins. He was wonderful with the children on the tour. He asked if they wanted to drive the tour boat on our way back to the dock. The kids all loved it and had a great time. The environment was great and the choice on music was for all ages.
