What To Expect

The Strand

The historic Strand, a national landmark, was the Wall Street of the South prior to the Great Flood. So many people tried to take refuge in the upper stories of these magnificent bank buildings, but sadly perished. Over 10,000 people died on that fateful night. It is the largest national catastrophe to this day.

Galveston Railroad Museum

As we stand in front of the historic railroad where over 50,000 men would come by train to visit the bordellos, we will examine the hauntings that continue to this very day in the building.

Grand 1894 Opera House

We will pass by the Opera House located in the heart of the Postoffice Street Arts and Entertainment District.

Several friends and I were in Galveston for the weekend and decided to check out the Red Light District tour. We really enjoyed the tour of this historic part of Galveston. Our guide, Rob, was really knowledgeable about the area, learning us up on the rich history of the rise and fall of the Galveston prostitution industry and cracking us up with some funny anecdotes. I would definitely count this tour as a must for a visit to Galveston and can't wait to check out the rest of the offerings from Historic Galveston Ghost Tours.

Thank you for the glowing review! We’re glad Rob “learned you up” on Galveston’s lively past—after all, history is more fun with a few scandalous stories! And yes, Roxanne definitely had to put on the red light (but at least she had good company). We can't wait to have you back for another adventure—maybe something with a few more ghosts and a little less… business!

Our guide, Christopher, was a nice enough guy, but the tour itself was not good. The level of detail was superficial, I didn’t feel like I learned much, and I didn’t like how he presented some of the details, it was…pretty inappropriate, especially in the gruesome details like abortion, sexual abuse, murder, and even pedophilia, almost like these were salacious topics. We weren’t offended, just kind of grossed out by his apparent investment. I don’t know if this was our guide or the script that they follow. Maybe we’re just not the audience for the tour? But it didn’t feel worth the price for the amount of information we learned and especially not for us having to navigate how weirdly our guide presented the stories.
