Join local guide John Gu for a roughly two-hour walk through downtown Houston. See Market Square, Art Deco landmarks, the Theater District, Tranquility Park, historic courthouses, and street art. The tour is in English, limited to 25 people, and ends near Lynn Wyatt Square.

“Great way to spend 2.5 hrs in Houston while hubby was at a meeting! Start & end points are 1 block apart & just off tram line. John was a great guide! He spoke loud enough for our group of 20 and was very knowledgeable about the city, important people, architecture & mural artists. As a solo, John made a point to seek me out and sit with him during the 20 minute stop for restroom break, snack & beverage. Very nice tour!! Highly recommend!”
