5.00This tour was so much fun!! Rich did a great job describing all the history along the way. The Ghosttube app he suggested we download was an added bonus and made the experience immersive. I recommend 10/10. Would definitely do it again.
Great experience

5.00We had a great time on the ghost tour!! We did the 10 pm tour. I wish we would have done the 8:45 so that we could have seen things a little better. The trip was fun, music great and guides were so funny!! Highly recommend

5.00This tour is so fun for the whole family. It’s not that serious, perfect for the whole family. Download the app, it makes it super spooky, William Wallace made an appearance on mine 👻. The captains are very accurate on the historical stories and legends. It’s a little bit of history, spooky ghosts, and comedy with a killer playlist! Definitely recommend!
Ok could be better

4.00We had a great time. I would sit closer to the front so I can hear the tales more clearly next time. The sound in the back seems muffled and it was hard to hear the stories clearly. Once they switched captains, the second one spoke better into the mic. The stories themselves, I could only hear the last few once they switched captains, were very interesting and we learned something new about Galveston. It was great to get out on the water and feel the cool breeze. For the price I expected more. I feel I only got half the experience.

5.00It was a great tour, more “historical” than scary, but still a great time. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun!
Left something to be desired

4.00Boat ride was nice! “Haunted” is not the word we would use. Mostly the two crew showing you large well known Galveston attractions (Navy ship, pirate ship, etc) and saying someone one died on that ship and now walks the deck. It’s cool to be on the water but you will not find it to be haunted or creepy in anyway. The tip pushing at the end was a bit tacky considering the effort. Would have been happy to tip if the experience was better. We enjoyed it for what it was but if you’re tight on budget I would look elsewhere. Tickets were $45/each for 1hr at the time of this review.
