Fun Haunted Bar Crawl with Engaging Informative Guide - This was a fantastic tour of some of the “haunted bars” in Galveston. Our guide was engaging, interesting and had an iPad where he went on deeper dives about the places we visited. He knew all the bar tenders and each had a special drink or shot we could purchase. It was extremely fun and we felt very safe with our guide. I highly recommend.

Fun, wholesome bar crawl! - This ended up being one of my favorite things my friends and I did on our Texas road trip. Ryan was an excellent tour guide, super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the town’s history, which made everything way more interesting. He showed real historical pictures along the way which also really elevated the experience. His drink recommendations were spot on, and he created such a welcoming, fun atmosphere. By the end, our whole group was hanging out and chatting like we’d all known each other for a while. Such an awesome experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Galveston!

If you’re looking for a... - If you’re looking for a fun, unique way to experience Galveston at night, the Haunted Pub Tour is an absolute must. This tour perfectly blends local history, spooky storytelling, and laid-back bar hopping. Our guide was fantastic—super knowledgeable, engaging, and just the right amount of theatrical to keep things entertaining without feeling over the top. Each stop had its own eerie backstory, and it was fascinating to learn about the island’s haunted past while actually standing in some of the locations where these stories originated. The pace was great, giving us enough time to enjoy drinks, explore each spot, and soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed. The pubs themselves were full of character, and it made the experience feel even more authentic. Whether you’re into ghost stories or just want a different kind of night out, this tour is a perfect mix of fun and chills. I’d definitely do it again next time I’m in Galveston!

We had a good evening... - We had a good evening wandering around Galveston, however, there is more focus on the pub crawl element rather than the ghost tour. We didn’t get to go into any of the old buildings (aside from the pubs), but our guide showed us a lot of photos on his iPad. We got some good insight into the history of Galveston and found some good drinking establishments along the way.
