Beautiful building with a rich history. This is a self guided tour with app assistance, but the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. A must stop by and visit while in Galve

It’s good to give yourself a me day! Visiting historic sites help us get a glimpse of the past. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Moody Mansion in Galveston, Texas!!

It was an interesting self guided tour to see the mansion that is over 100 years old and is still in good up kept condition. The wood used throughout the mansion was beautiful. Just something to do with some extra time in the island. Thanks

This was a very cool tour! Very beautiful! I could have spent hours in there! The coolest part was there were QR codes you could scan in each room and listen to the story for each room!

Very well kept. Interesting to see how large the rooms and bathrooms were for the period of the house.

The tour of the Mansion is very fun and great way to see the Wall Street of the South. Galveston has an interesting history starting in 1880s, 1890s and 1900

My husband and i with my Mother and 2 of our best friends went on a tour at the Moody Mansion. What a beautiful home! Currently, the lower level is a childrens museum! We were able to tour 2 levels with the top level being closed as it is used as storage. Everything we saw was restored and kept clean and preserved. Herman, a volunteer, was very kind and helpful as was a young lady whom i didnt get her name. They were very knowledgable and helped my Mom get into a very small elevator with her walker. She did great but if you have any claustrophobia you should take the stairs! I highly recommend this self guided tour of Moody Mansion!

The employees are very nice! I didnt realize that the tour was an app you listen to on your phone. All around beautiful place. Also, only 2 levels of the building are for tourists. 1st and second floor. The other floor above is for storage and employees area. All around enjoyable place to visit.
