Great way to spend 2.5 hrs in Houston while hubby was at a meeting! Start & end points are 1 block apart & just off tram line. John was a great guide! He spoke loud enough for our group of 20 and was very knowledgeable about the city, important people, architecture & mural artists. As a solo, John made a point to seek me out and sit with him during the 20 minute stop for restroom break, snack & beverage. Very nice tour!! Highly recommend!
