5.00Ms. Berns was the most amazing tour guide! Her knowledge and obvious love for her job was very evident! We were complete captivated from the minute the tour started until the end . Her stories were wonderful and we especially like that she pictures so we could better identify with what she was saying. I had my dog with me and she made sure at all times our comfort and safety was a top priority. I would love to take another tour where she was our guide . I highly recommend this tour to see some beautiful homes and learn more about this historic and beautiful city !

5.00Great tour with jay. Have spent lots of time in Galveston, but Jay was able to tell us some stories and show us some sites. We’ve never seen before. Planning on bringing him back some friends when they visit for Thanksgiving.
