Israel was so humble and down to earth. All the history he shared truly showed his passion and pride for the city he lives in. He really enjoys the interaction with his patrons, so I encourage you to ask questions or just converse! We took note and made our own list of places to come back and spend more time, from what Israel shared during the tour. 3 hours sounded overwhelming, but there were several stops to step out and see monuments so the time went by fast. We are excited to spend a weekend in Houston for a more in-depth experience of the city with a small-town mentality.

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.

Israel was a great tour guide! His love and knowledge for his city Houston made the experience even better! I recommend him!

Israel was such a great tour guide. I enjoyed seeing Houston through his eyes. He also took great pictures of me :)

Our guide, Israel was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my tour immensely!
