What people are saying about Houston

Rory’s passion for the city and its people was contagious. He brings a new perspective to the roots and cultures of a vibrant neighbourhood, home to a variety cultures and therefore a variety of delicious food. The tour captured some small local restaurants that are pillars in their community, thought provoking street art, and a downtown park buzzing with activity and beauty that evolved from lifeless concrete parking lots. I would highly recommend this activity to tourists visiting the city, and to locals who want to explore and experience their own city from a new perspective.

This food tour takes place in a small niche of downtown Houston with fun diversity in the restaurants without walking a long distance. My group enjoyed the extras like the graffiti wall and the Phoenician grocery store (best baklava ever)! Yeah for Rory, our guide!

Great tour to get a quick look at different areas of the city. The artwork both along the tour and seen in passing was amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable about Houston history and information of the paintings and artists.

Excellent experience. The Israel Guide is passionate about the city, which makes the Tour even more interesting, as it tells the history of the city and the state of Texas.

Rory our tour guide was lots of fun. The food was eclectic and the tour was very interesting.
