This was such a great experience. I feel like this may be something people from out-of-town schedule, but this was amazing for us, who are locals, as well. It's amazing what you don't pick up on until it's shown to you. I truly enjoyed all of Marna's information on the murals we saw. You can tell she's very passionate about learning more and more and sharing her love and appreciation for the mural art with you.

A different face of Houston,
It was very nice to ride in an open car, in a very relaxed comfy way. Our tour guide, amazing!

Our group of 4 had a great time. The mural tour was very interesting. Our guide allowed us to stop, get out and take pictures. We want to take other tours that they offer.

The ride around downtown Houston was full of many awesome murals. The guide had a lot of information on who the artists are, some of their background, and what is the meaning behind each mural. Interested in murals, this is a must activity in Houston.

Wasn’t expecting so many great murals. Marna was friendly and provided just the right amount of information about the murals. She pointed things out that enriched the experience.

I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with the Joyride Mural and Instagram Tour, and Robby was the highlight of the entire adventure! His knowledge, passion, and energy made the tour truly exceptional.
From the moment we started, Robby’s enthusiasm was contagious. He knew everything about each mural we visited—the stories behind the art, the artists who created them, and even the hidden details that most people would overlook. His deep understanding of the local culture and history added so much depth to the experience, making it more than just a photo tour.
The entire tour was seamless, fun, and inspiring. Thanks to Robby, I left with amazing photos, fascinating insights, and a deeper appreciation for the art and the community behind it. I can’t recommend this tour—and Robby—enough!

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the tour but my girlfriend loves art and I thought it would be a good place to propose to her in the city around things that represent her. Marna was so great at communicating starting the night before while helping me keep things secret during the tour. She explained small details about the city and each mural as she was giving the tour to the point where I really almost forgot what we were there for. I hope this reaches you because I'm very appreciative for everything not only did you do a great job with the tour, but you will also be apart of our memory of that moment for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Marna!
p.s. we ate at Grotto's downtown
Response from Host, Dec 2024
I LOVED being a part of your special day!!! I wish you both many happy years of love and marriage! 🥰
Sandra_K, Sep 2024
Super cool tour getting to see murals around downtown Houston in a golf cart and got a lot of information about each one. Only thing is we had an evening tour and downtown was a bit busy so our tour felt a little rushed because of the traffic.
Jane_K, Mar 2024
Marina was an excellent guide for the mural tour. She shared a tremendous amount of information about the murals and the artists. One of the highlights of the trip was getting to see several of the artists at work on their murals. Houston is very lucky to have such marvelous artwork available for everyone to enjoy.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for sharing! Yes, the fact that the artists are willing to share their talent with the world is amazing! Houston IS lucky!
Melissa_W, Mar 2024
Marna was an excellent guide and was very informative. I loved how she knew all the art and was able to explain it to us. My kids and myself walked away very educated and I would definitely recommend it to people.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you Melissa! I had a great time with you all!
Bill_J, Mar 2024
Marna is enthusiastic, upbeat, and best of all, quite knowledgeable about the artists, their themes, and the story of murals in Houston and the worldwide competition. As an example, the mural behind us signifies to be vigilant when driving. Keep your eyes straight ahead for danger is waiting on either wayside. The muralist does "look for a hidden gem". In this case within the eye's pupil. Take the tour and find out what that gem is!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
I love this! Thank you! You two were such a sweet couple! I love my city and its art. Sharing it all with guests makes me smile!
Edward_N, Dec 2023
The tour itself was memorable, and I cannot select the Most Memorable part of it. Sarah, our guide, also was an important part of the experience and was very knowledge about the murals, their history, and the artists who created them. It was a complete surprise to me, and I have lived here almost 60 years and worked downtown for a number if those years. I have recommended the tour to many friends
Response from Host, Jan 2024
So happy you had a great experience! We have long time residents that are amazed at all the city has to offer and the changes that are taking place! Would love to see you again!
Zachary_T, Nov 2023
Sarah was amazing!! She had so much knowledge not just of the artwork but of the artists and FROM the artists themselves! Most passionate tour guide I've ever experienced.
Adela_R, Aug 2023
A good overview and background on major and minor pieces around Houston, the artists, and their stories. Sarah was knowledgeable. It was a super hot August day, and you are traveling in an open air golf cart. You could do the tour in inclement weather and still enjoy it. Bring water and wear sunscreen (or whatever you'd need for current weather situation). I took the tour with a friend, and there are lots of opportunities to stop and take pictures in certain places. In others, it's a slow drive by where you can shoot a photo as you pass. A cool way to explore the city and see it from a fresh perspective.
dayna_s, Apr 2023
We had a great time! Loved hearing about the history of each mural and about the artist. The carts were fun and clean. Easy to get in and out of and a fun way to see downtown
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Our murals in downtown are great!! With the 7 new ones added to the tour, guests get to see a wide variety of artists and styles!!

A must do tour in Houston! Loved our tour guide Sarah. Amazing creativity all around! If you live in Houston or just come visit take the time to get to know the city with this great street art tour

Larry was amazing - he was a great driver and interesting and funny historian. We had a great time and would go back again!
Abiola_W, Oct 2022
Loved being a tourist in my town! Guide was very knowledgeable, and made the ride fun. We had a great day weather wise which helped too.
Michelle_B, Aug 2022
Overall the tour was good.
We had to switch time slots because of the Astro's game and we were pushed back an hour and a half.
Our tour guide Larry was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting.
It was a very hot day, so I don't recommend anyone taking the tour on such a day because there is no air conditioning on the ride.
Good fun and great photos.
Ashley_J, Aug 2022
I appreciated the patience of the drivers and willingness to take photos. I would have liked more of an itinerary to know how much time we could spend at each location or how many locations there were. The weather wasn't in our favor and of course that impacted our trip but the drivers were accommodating nevertheless.
Leslie_H, Jul 2022
Larry was great! When the kids were hungry he was willing to drive us through a drive thru to feed them! Saw some amazing murals and really enjoyed ourselves.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thanks so much! Larry is that kind of guy!
Era_R, Jun 2022
Marna was so funny! She had a great personality and very informative about the artists. She was patient with allowing us to take pictures and took some for us as well
