Walking Tour of Houston: History, Architecture, Street Art

About this activity

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.
