Houston's only walking tour!
In this group tour, you will dive into the history, architecture, and uniquely Texan ambience of the fourth biggest city in the United States: a modern-day melting pot of cultures with an old fashioned past that is all its own.
From the oldest building in Houston to the tallest skyscraper in the city, we'll go on a journey through Houston's history and architecture.
Wander through the city's Historic District and see some masterworks of Art Deco architecture of the early 20th century and discuss street art and murals of today.
We'll sneak a ride on Houston's modern tramline (for free!) and travel between the city's Historic District and its ultra-modern Skyline District.
We will walk for approximately 2 miles. Note that this tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Cần Quan Tâm
Downtown Historic District Market Square
Welcome to the birthplace of Houston at the heart of the city's historic district. We’ll talk about Houston’s origins as we pass by some of the oldest buildings in the city. You'll also have a chance for photos at the "Houston is inspired" mural, the most popular Instagram photo in the city.
Behold the timeless elegance of the Gulf Building, one of Houston’s most stunning skyscrapers from the golden age of architecture! Completed in 1929, this Art Deco masterpiece soars 37 stories high, adorned with intricate setbacks, gleaming marble, and a breathtaking, mural-covered lobby. Once the tallest building in Houston, it still commands attention with its glowing, stepped crown lighting up the night sky.

5.00Excellent experience! Would definitely do this tour again when I have visitors from out of town. I'm from Houston and saw so many things that I didn't even know we had downtown.
Great walking tour

5.00I moved from SF to Houston almost a year ago, and only knew the downtown Houston by attending the Houston Symphony and Houston Ballet.. so Jobes Hall and Wortham. So when I heard about the 2 hour downtown Houston guided walking tour I grabbed a slot! John was such an impressive tour guide. His knowledge of Houston architecture, Texas and Houston history and arts culture. It was a very informative tour and I feel like I know so much more about the city I am now living in! I highly recommend going on a guided tour.. but please make sure that John Hu is your tour guide! Thank you John!

5.00Have you ever met someone who is an absolute natural at what they do? Like born to do this thing in life?! …and you just think to yourself, “Wow.” That’s John. His walking tour of Downtown Houston was effortless and so relaxed. At the same time, it was fresh and funny. I had such a good time. As someone who has participated on countless tours - seriously - I was so impressed by this experience. Hands down recommend this tour for any visitor or local in Houston.
Thank you and Thank Houston
