5.00We had an amazing time on the Galveston Haunted Harbor Tour! It was the perfect mix of spooky and fun, with just the right amount of history woven in. The guide was fantastic—super engaging, knowledgeable, and had a great way of telling the stories that kept everyone entertained the entire time. Hearing the haunted history of Galveston while actually being out on the harbor made it feel even more eerie and memorable. The views at night were beautiful, and the whole experience felt unique compared to typical ghost tours. It was well organized, easy to enjoy, and something I’d definitely do again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and slightly spooky activity in Galveston! 👻
