Good tour but we didnt get as much history as other tours we have been on in Galveston - The staff and driver were excellent . Very courteous and helpful but the information on the houses and 1900 hurricane we not explained about the houses or the plaques on the buildings.

Tour cancelled by tour company - My wife and I are visiting Galveston, weeks before I made reservations on line and paid for the Historic Tour of Galveston. Arriving 30 minutes early as suggested by tour company we were told the tour was cancelled as the tour bus was being used all day for a visiting convention. I can handle the tour being canceled, but at some point they knew a convention would be having tours all day, but they didn't tell us until we were standing in front of them. Very disappointing about the missed tour and waste of our time, gas to travel and parking we paid for.
