Welcome Fans, Friends, and Visitors,

Hi.

Hi.  For most people, the winter holidays are over as people are back at work and school, unless you are retired.  You should go on a tour during this slow period.

 

Weather in Houston

Houston has an average of 4 days of frost in January.  The month is frequently very windy which helps to accentuate the wind chill temperature.  Click here for the weekly report.

Monthly Special for a 2.5-Hour Walking Tour – Discounted by 17 to 29% Based on the Number of People

The parking lot has two access points: 1515 West Alabama Street, Houston, Texas 77006 and 3808 Mulberry Street, Houston, Texas 77006.
