Romantic Private Tour - I can’t say enough good things about this tour company. We drove to Galveston for our 25th anniversary and I had booked this tour for 5pm the day of our arrival but we were running about 2 hours behind schedule. I called them and they graciously rescheduled us for 8pm instead. Our guide for the tour was a very nice young lady but my memory sucks and I sadly can’t remember her name! I do remember that she was studying veterinary medicine. She told us so much about the history of the island and showed us some amazing homes during our private tour. It was a fabulous was to start our trip!

Perfect way to see Galveston! - Loved this tour! Great way to learn about city and see several areas without having to walk. It was the highlight of my 83 year olds trip! Guide was knowledgeable and happy to answer our questions about his life as cowboy in Texas.
