Know before you go

• The Strand is flat and compact — groups cover it on foot in a couple of hours.
• The 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA and the Railroad Museum are the two headline museums on the district's edge.
• The Seawall and Pleasure Pier are a 10-minute drive south — easy add-on for beach time.

Tips for group trips

• About 50 miles from downtown Houston — 1 hr by bus; factor it as a half-day-plus trip.
• Cruise-day transfers are the highest-volume charter use — confirm luggage capacity when booking the bus.
• Weekend festivals (Mardi Gras, Dickens on the Strand) close streets — check dates before promising drop-offs.
