Tours of the City Walking Tours Houston is not an ideal city in which to walk around, however, visitors who are interested in the architecture and culture of the city can join one of the monthly Sunday walking tours, which are offered by the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance (tel: (713) 216 5000; website: www.ghpa.org). The tours vary each month, so keen walkers should telephone for details and departure point information. The cost is US$10. Alternatively, both Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou have jogging trails that are ideal for getting some fresh. The views of the Downtown skyline are spectacular from the Buffalo Bayou. Bus Tours Gray Line Tours (tel: (713) 670 3254 or (800) 334 4441) have a year-round city sightseeing tour, departing daily (except Sundays) and taking two and a half hours. Tickets are US$25, and a minimum of ten passengers is required. The tour starts at the Westin Galleria Hotel and City Hall and passes through the Downtown area, the Theatre District, the Museum District, Hermann Park and the uptown area. Gray Line Tours also operate a five-hour daily tour (except Sundays) to the Space Center Houston. Tickets cost US$45 and a minimum of ten passengers is required. |
