This was an informative, fun and delicious tour! We learned a lot of historical information about Houston and enjoyed some yummy bites. Our guide Roger was very knowledgeable and interesting. I definitely recommend for both visitors and locals.

The tour and hearing about the history of Houston was great and our guide Lou was great! The food and drinks were amazing. One thing I did not like was we paid for 7 stops and Lou was told there will only be 5 stops for the tour. So that did not set well with me. When booking I made sure I found a tour that offered everything I wanted and that was it the case
