Sightseeing Historical Tours

Our Sightseeing Historical Tour is the tour you should take before you do anything else in Corpus Christi. It provides the perfect overview. During this amazing tour, you will visit unique points of interest, including the vibrant bayfront, the Port of Corpus Christi (one of the most important ports in the USA), the oldest Federal Cemetery in Texas, as well as some of the oldest homes and buildings in our city. Hear about the events that shaped our history – shipwrecks, encounters with Native American Indians, boundary disputes, wars, yellow fever epidemics, and hurricanes. In addition to all the history, you will get to enjoy learning about some of our unique public art and colorful murals that brighten our uptown and downtown. This is our most popular tour - you don't want to miss it!

VAMANOS! (Let's go!)  A TEX-MEX EXPERIENCE

You can now experience what our unique South Texas culture is all about!  

Spanish, Mexican, and South Texas traditions have blended to form our rich Tex-Mex culture.  On this journey together, you may wonder if we have entered Mexico as we visit a Mexican grocery store, bakery, and candy store!  You will be mesmerized by all the colorful displays!  We will sample pan dulce (sweet bread) and aguas frescas (fruit drinks)!  And, of course, you will have an opportunity to shop in a delightful Mexican market!  We will visit a serene Catholic church and learn why Our Lady of Guadalupe is beloved in Mexico and South Texas.  We will have an opportunity to learn more about faith healing from a family of curanderos.  And you know there will be Tejano music, colorful art, and much more as you experience our Tex-Mex world!  VAMANOS!

Our Tex-Mex Experience costs $38 per person and takes two and a half to three hours.  This is definitely a hands-on experience, and we will be getting in and out of the van frequently!  (Note:  Every venue is not necessarily open every day so guide will make appropriate substitutions.)

WORLD WAR II TRAIL

You don't want to miss this special tour! In December 2022 Corpus Christi was designated an American World War II Heritage Community by the National Parks Service! What an honor!

Enjoy Corpus Christi Tours has developed a guided World War II Trail to commemorate daily the sacrifices made by so many - men, women, and children - so that we might enjoy the freedoms we have today. Our beautiful community played a significant part in that powerful period in U.S. history...world history.

Our World War II Trail will follow the route of the largest naval air station in the world, the deployment of military equipment, supplies, and personnel, secrecy, black-outs, the enemy close at hand, celebrations, and the colorful lives (it wasn't always as drab as we might think) of those left on the home front.​ Join us as we remember the greatest generation! 

Our World War II Trail is $31.95 per person, and the experience takes approximately two hours.  

Departure times:  10:30 AM and 1:30 PM, Monday - Sunday
