Good tour. Tour guide was very good guy. This is only a my opinion. I would like to hear more about the buildings and area I was in. 90% was that but I cared more about what I was looking at then how Houston was founded but I’m sure I’m in the minority of that. But guide was good and funny.

And how can we forget the ever cheerful Antonio, the driver/tour guide who made the whole tour a worthwhile experience. My wife’s favorite was the souvenir shop wher she was able to pick some handmade jewelries and of course the “ride”on the crafted horse.
