**do not do this tour!!! Our tour guide was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He tried to read from a few crumpled pieces of paper he brought. We learned nothing interesting. He showed us an old brothel. There was nothing really haunted or ghost related. I requested my money back and the company refused. They were unapologetic that our experience was not at all what we paid for. We had 7 people on the tour. Very disappointed in their lack of customer service. Total waste of money and time. I felt so bad for my group. Really ruined a nice evening in Galveston !!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our group was small so it was a very intimate tour, seemed more like a walk with friends. The guide took us to a great variety of locations and gave us the history/ghost lesson for each.

Best tour in Galveston I’ve ever taken. Our tour guide, Ms Donna was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned more on this tour than I have on any other! Will 100% take this tour again.
