Willie D was such a great tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Galveston and drove us around in the bullet- riddled Model T that was so much fun waving at the crowd and enjoying the “honk” of the car! We loved his voice and him getting into character to describe all the interesting folks that made Galveston such a hot spot! The history started before the 1900 Storm and included the rebuilding of Galveston and even information about Tilman Fertitta that I had already assumed! Such an incredible story about the Moody, Maceo, and Fertitta families! Taking pictures with the “guns” made some memories that will be treasured! DEFINITELY recommend Willie D and the Mob History Galveston tour! You won’t regret it!

At the very last minute a group of us were not able to go on this tour due to an unexpected health issue. There are not enough words to describe the kindness and grace we were given by this company. I am so grateful for the understanding. Thank you and if we ever make our way to Galveston again we will certainly re book with you.
