Lovely walking tour - learned so much - We took this tour again and really enjoyed hearing more stories as this tour has progress and gotten better. Bring walking shoes and plenty of water as you stroll along Broadway to see many of the homes that were so influential and beautiful in Galveston. The guides are extreme the knowledgeable and it’s fun to get to go inside one of the houses. We will be back again.
