Galveston 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.

A very informative tour! I went with my husband and our friends. So glad we decided on this tour company. The guide was informative and made the tour more interesting. If you want to hear about the underground world of Galveston, take this tour. Tomorrow we are taking the tour on the strand

Getting to know Galveston on the street level is really the only way to do it isn't it? Up close you get to see things you don't see from a bus. We're so happy you enjoyed yourself and that you'll be joining us again tonight.
