Kevin was a great tour guide! We learned so much about the history of Galveston and the ghosts that haunt it. We lots of fun reviewing photos we took to see if we could see any spirits of our own.

Kevin was an awesome guide. He was knowledgable and entertaining. The mosquitos were bad and he brought spray and shared with us all.

We chose this tour because the description said it was a history tour with ghost stories mixed in. It sounded different than other ghost tours we’ve been on so we were excited to learn some history along with the local lore. Our guide had no idea of Galveston history, the hurricane of 1900, or even Texas history. He repeatedly referred to Stephen F Austin as Samuel Austin…..we excused ourselves after about 20 minutes. I will be seeking a refund!
