Passing by the hallmark Sam Houston Hotel, you will learn about its legendary namesake, Sam Houston, and his achievements in founding and managing the state of Texas. As for Houston city's early years, you will step onto its original center, which is now the hectic Market Square Park.
The tour then walks you into the famed Theater District with its range of award-winning ballet, opera, and theatre venues. From there, you will get to the shore of the Buffalo Bayou, near where the Allen brothers founded Houston in 1836.
Next, you will swing by the Tranquility Park, a recreational spot with a savvy layout that narrates the Apollo 11 landing and Houston's important role in that.
Finally, you will witness the eras of Houston's history at Sam Houston Park, the city's first park that holds architectural icons from different periods of history.
