Fun way to learn about Galveston - We had a great hour tour. Grace, our guide, asked what our interests were and she customized our tour. Kids had a blast on the electric bikes. I can see doing this tour multiple times to focus on different points of interests.

Great Experience - I just would echo what others have said: the trip was informative, interesting, and very easy to do. We went on a weekend and traffic was not an issue. Our guide 'went the extra mile" and tailored his insights to our interests. It definitely didn't feel "canned."

So Much Fun!!! Don't hesitate, book it!! - We had a great time with Adrianna on our bike tour. First, she saw after we left the store that I was having trouble with the bike. we had adjusted this and that but it was just too big for me. Rather then make me go all the way back to the store, Adrianna gave me her bike and took mine. So kind!! She's smaller than me, but an expert rider so she could handle it. I did great on her bike. The tour was great. Adrianna was very knowledgeable and her stories were interesting. I asked ALOT of questions and she patiently answered them all. One review complained about the tour content, but this is a history tour and Galveston history is what it is. It did used to be full of brothels and mobsters. That is not Adrianna's fault. She even took us to a site we requested that was not the tour that we wanted to see. While it was a very hot day, in Galveston, when you ride there is a cool breeze coming off the Bay. It was so pleasant! We always do Segway tours everywhere we go and this time we decided to try e-biking. Great choice! We have a new favorite!!!

Fun times! - We took the tour of Galveston with Adriana. I had to laugh at the previous review complaint about guide. Don’t you go on vacation to meet people different from self? We thoroughly enjoyed getting to hear Galveston stories and seeing some places we would have just passed on by without appreciating beauty and historical significance. We were first timers and I was a bit apprehensive. Due to recent radiation, I tend to break things when I fall. However, finished tour without any mishaps.

Great Way to see and learn. - It was a great way to really see Galveston and understand its history. Our guide, Adrianna was a "BOI" and gave us wonderful insight. Highly recommend this experience.

A couple on ebikes - Great way to see the historical homes & some of downtown. Our guide gave us an informative tour & took us to some gems. Reasonable price, friendly guide & staff. I would’ve chosen a newer bike but sure that’s an extra charge. e-bikes make it a smoother ride.
