  • Not impressive

    Go on a weekend where you may get the better guides. Our guide grew up in Galveston but basically winged it. He knew some things but a lot of it I knew as much or more than he did.

    **do not do this tour!!! Our tour guide was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He tried to read from a few crumpled pieces of paper he brought. We learned nothing interesting. He showed us an old brothel. There was nothing really haunted or ghost related. I requested my money back and the company refused. They were unapologetic that our experience was not at all what we paid for. We had 7 people on the tour. Very disappointed in their lack of customer service. Total waste of money and time. I felt so bad for my group. Really ruined a nice evening in Galveston !!

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our group was small so it was a very intimate tour, seemed more like a walk with friends. The guide took us to a great variety of locations and gave us the history/ghost lesson for each.

  • Best tour in Galveston!

    Best tour in Galveston I’ve ever taken. Our tour guide, Ms Donna was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned more on this tour than I have on any other! Will 100% take this tour again.

    My boyfriend and I had a blast! We knew Galveston was rich in history, but there was quite a bit of new things that we learned. We will definitely go on another one!

    This was the best ghost tour I have been on. Abby did a great job and taught us a lot about the history of Galveston.

    Abby was our tour guide and she was fantastic! I have done other ghost tours and none were as detailed as her. She knew so much history and she told the stories with great detail and enthusiasm. Highly recommend!

    Donna was amazing! She did an excellent job! We had such a great time with her! She still did the tour even though it was just my wife and I. We appreciated everything she did and told us about Galveston!
