Historically, significant, but yet, Golish - Very detailed, well explained, Thomas was amazing. Next time we visit we will book another. I’m a history nerd so I was listening closely to everything. Thank you so much.

10/10 would do again! - Amazing experience! Very educational but entertaining and tour guide made sure to add a level of interaction with the group aside from the information, asking us if we had any stories or encounters, cracking jokes, etc.

Tours well worth it - We had such a fun tour! We went with another couple and loved walking around, hearing the stories, and getting a little spooky. Seeing Galveston in the evening was honestly eye-opening, such a beautiful city!

The Strand ghost date night. - Tour was good, but I thought we were going in the haunted buildings not just stand outside and talk about them. But with that being said Rob was excellent and told us a lot of cool and interesting things. Rob was amazing and knew a lot and he was easy to talk to. We would have liked a little more time at some of the stops. I knew we would be walking, but I didn't realize how many stairs we would be going up and down. Unfortunately I have a bad knee and after going up and down it started to hurt a bit. I thought the price was good. This would be good for a date night, night on the town, you learn a lot about Galveston is a little time. There was a perfect amount of people in our group.
