Private Tour of Galveston

Overview

If you want to see all that Galveston Island has to offer, you will want to come with Joyride to capture all the history, fun and excitement that one of the oldest cities in Texas has to offer. Our tour guides share the knowledge of how the Storm of 1900 devastated the city and changed its trajectory for development. They know fun facts that kept the city thriving through the rough times of rebuilding and how Clara Barton played a special role in the city as well. They share tidbits of the intrigue, mystery and “illegal” activities that surrounded the city before and after the big storm! If you love old buildings and homes, you will love The Strand area! Let your guides show you what Galveston offers today and what makes it thrive like no other city in Texas.

Our guide was on time and the vehicle was clean. Our guide knew the history and we saw a lot of the historical sights. It was sometimes hard to see if the building was on the other side of the vehicle. I took off one star because the tour lasted about an hour and 1/2 and not the 2 1/2 hour tour advertised.

They pick you up from your hotel. Tour leader was very friendly and well informed about the city of Galveston. The thing I liked about this tour was that it has a local feeling, it is not a big bus, it’s a car so you get to know the tour leader as well.

We greatly enjoyed our tour of Galveston with Joyride. Pick up was prompt at our hotel and transportation was provided both to and from the island. Interesting and informative narrative was provided as we drove around making photo stops here and there. Recommended!
