We loved the experience. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the history of Galveston. We loved looking at the old architecture of Galveston. Our horses name was Dexter and he was a real trooper. Nothing seemed to phase him. We highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend! The carriage tour was so fun and informative! We saw many beautiful historic homes, buildings, and sculptures. Our guide was awesome! We went after dark. I would recommend maybe evening time when it’s cooler but still daylight.
