All the employees were nice. Everyone was helpful and answered questions or took pictures of you wanted. The view isnt of much and really after awhile its boring. There is a video running with history, information and insight into the port which is cool, but the view is boring. However it is free and definitely a 1 time and done thing. I am glad I went...on the fence about recommending to others. I went because I was in the neighborhood for something else, I I wouldnt make a destination trip out of this. 14 year old son found it ok...but repetitive, but nice to experience. You do get a soda, coffee and again its free!!! Younger kids 10 and under would really just enjoy the boat ride. There is a train that comes right before you get to the entrance. You may want to arrive a little bit earlier because it is long and blocks the entrance into the pier. The boat does leave ontime
On my tour of Houston they recommended that I check this out. It just shows how much money and resources are in Houston. Plan to do again with my family and friends.
This was a an awesome trip down the buyout. Its also free. Great family trip.
Was somewhat impressed by both the facilites at the launch and the boat. However the scenery (sic) was disappointing. The facilities along the channel are in no way indicative of the industry somewhat removed from view. Furthermore, the oral narrative during the cruise seemed to focus on the politics related to the development of the channel, probably leaving a visitor less than impressed with the amount and diversity of the industry supporting the channel.With that said, I feel this tour is a terrific idea that needs some tweeking.
A real treat. Great experience for locals and tourists a like. Its like a cool secluded cover. Lots of nature. Lots of parking. Yep, its free guys, so bring cash to tip their amazing attendants.
Great outing! Definitely recommend a weekday tour. Much more activity.
Highly recommended! Pick a good day. The weather is magnified out on the water. They even have coffee and beverages on-board.
I doubted that this free tour would be anything more than a disappointment. Boy was I wrong! Even my teenagers, 15 and 17 year old girls, had a great time! I recommend this to everyone regardless of age!
My little boys and I had the greatest time. Super informative and just fun
The kids loved the ride and being on the tour. Everybody should take time out and take the tour.
A great fun thing to do with the family. It is free so... It’s sad to see so many people disrespect the tour and others by not showing up for their tour.Today’s tour 8/28/2019; it was booked for 130 persons and maybe 20 persons showed up.If you’re going to book, show up or cancel! It’s rude! Don’t be a tool!
Excelente experiencia! El tour de 90 min te permite disfrutar de cerca de embarcaciones y del desarrollo tecnológico del lugar. Personal de servicio de muy amable. Gracias! Seguro volveremos!
A very good tour and free! Houstons port revealed with tons of information given over the span of 45 minutes.
Fun and educational... great way to see the ship channel
Have taken this tour before and enjoyed it. Will do it again.
Very nice and relaxing. Something to do thats free for the whole family. Great history details about Houston.
An interesting and informative experience. Recommended for visitors and locals.
