Our group really enjoyed our private tour with Carriage House Rentals and our tour guide Willy! He had a great sense of humor, came prepared with before and after pictures and got overviews of historical renovations, had interesting facts about the Cardroys show, Galveston itself and were shown many sites that really would be undisclosed otherwise.

My husband and my life long girl friend took this tour as part of our pre-cruise fun in Galveston! It was great! I have long been a fan of the tv show Restoring Galveston with Ashley and Michael Cordray and thought it would be great fun to see some of their homes if I ever got to Galveston again. When we booked a cruise and decided to spend a couple days in Galveston prior to the cruise. I began looking for a tour and found this one. How perfect! It was such a great experience!!! Our tour guide, Willie D, was wonderful! Informative and entertaining! All 3 of us absolutely loved it!

Willie our tour guide gave us a wonderful customer experience. So personable and knowledgeable. Took us to the sites "we have seen on TV," fun night. Also saw the twice a year citizens visiting some of the very lovely properties in Galveston. Also, we're intrigued to take The Mob Tour, hosted by Willie.
