Historic 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.

Coming from Carrollton, Texas I didn't know any of the history that was presented to me. Our tour guide was very entertaining and full of history. One of the best tours I've been on.

We had a great tour of the Red Light District with Rob on a very cold night recently. Rob was informative and humorous. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening!
