5.00I learned so much from this tour! Many stops along the way! This tour had way more information and ghost sightings than any other tour I’ve been on! Lots of information not even Taylor Sheridan probably knows about Galveston lol. Tyler is very knowledgeable about Galveston. It seems like he’s a local that knows more about Galveston that any other tour guide I’ve seen. His tour assistant Charlie is also very helpful!
Great tour!

3.00I thought the tour guide was very good and informative. The disappointment comes in when you can’t go in and tour the sites but only from the street.
Very knowledgeable
