We booked the 3-hour city tour for our family visiting from New York, and it was the highlight of our entire trip. Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable about Houston history and took us to spots we never would have found on our own. The complimentary snacks and water were a nice touch. Cannot recommend Allstar highly enough!
