Trip around houston ?

Question

Does anyone know about package tours offered in Houston?

Answer 1

I would bet that there isn't one. This isn't a touristy town, because it's not popular like places like NYC.

Answer 2

I don't think there are any bus tours of Houston, but look at the website for the Houston Press.  They list all the happenings in town from theater to music and museums, restaurants, etc.  Then of course there are sports events.  Or travel 30 minutes south to Galveston.  They do bus tours.  

Answer 3

I've never heard of any. We are a working city, not a touristy city like L.A. or Hollywood, and we don't have a lot of "must see" things like the Eiffel Tower or Big Ben.

That's not to say there aren't lots  things to do.. (check this out for a good example http://www.visithoustontexas.com/visitor... ) It's just that we don't have any sort of  glitzy "tourist" destinations...or bus tours.  I mean in L.A. you get on a bus and drive past the movie stars homes... you don't see that sort of thing here. Who wants to pay money to drive past the home of Exxon's Vice-President for Overseas Exploration?  I mean he probably has a much nicer house than most actors, and he pays a lot less in taxes on it... but it's not quite the same thing.

Most people get a rental car when the come here.

Fortunately a lot of the destinations are fairly close. Most of the museums are close and if it isn't August you can walk from the Contemporary Arts Museum to the Fine Arts Museum to the Science Museum.
