Houston Audio GPS Driving Tour
iOS Universel / Voyages
Welcome to the GPS-enabled offline driving tour of Houston, Texas, home of bayous and the NASA Space Center by Action Tour Guide!
Are you ready to turn your phone into a personal tour guide? This app offers a fully-guided experience – just like a local giving you a personalized, turn-by-turn tour.
Houston: It’s true what they say: everything really is bigger in Texas—and that includes the list of reasons to see this fabulous city! Houston is soaked top to bottom in history and culture, and this tour will introduce you to all of it.
Turn back the clock at the bayou and watch historic battles play out on Texan soil. Visit Emancipation Park, a centerpiece of Black history in the city, where Juneteenth has been celebrated for over a century. And return to the present by admiring the tallest skyscrapers in all of Houston (and learning a thing or two about how they came to be, of course)!
And no tour through Houston is complete without a stop at the famous Johnson Space Center, of course! Check out the sprawling facility where NASA trains their astronauts and launches space missions, and pick up a bit of spacefaring history along the way. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Houston—so grab your stirrups, put on your Stetson, and hit the road!
