Galveston Island Red Light District Tour

Overview

Return to a time when the mob ran Galveston and their guests were treated as if they were family. When you crossed the bridge you enter "The Free State of Galveston," where the only rules were mob rules. The stars of the era were world class entertainers brought in to perform in the casinos, including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. Everyone was enjoying their own "Vegas Dream" right here in Galveston.

I thought this was a ghost tour. It was a history tour, but I really enjoyed it, regardless. Rob was great as a tour guide . He was very funny , friendly and made the experience a wonderful experience. Definitely will book another tour whenever I make another trip to Galveston. I recommend it. It was fun and interesting. Keep up the great work Rob.
