Great history lesson on Galveston - Our guide, Stephanie, was great. Seems to enjoy her job and was very knowledgeable about the history of Galveston. Worth the trip even if you don't believe in the paranormal.

Fun “spooky” family tour - Fun tour of the strand in Galveston. We really enjoyed the history of the island. The tragedy and ghost stories were also interesting, and sad. Our guide did a good job.

11/10! - Me and my husband took this tour, we love learning about the paranormal. This was our first ghost tour and let me just say it was amazing! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island and even talked to us about the area of Galveston that we were staying! I never realized how much history the island had! Definitely recommend this tour! We also think we caught a ghost in the first picture!

Who knows… - My friend and I (both females) waited for an hour, on the designated street corner in an unfamiliar city, but our guide never showed up. I contacted customer service and was told the guide was running late, which was understandable because of a huge biker rally in town, so we waited for an additional 20 minutes. I called customer service again, but it was after hours and I had to leave a message saying we were leaving and I was expecting a refund. By the time we got a few blocks down the street, the refund was already issued, so that was a huge relief! I am very sad we didn’t get to enjoy the tour, but thankful that we stayed safe and the refund was swift.
Also please note that the Galveston TX meeting point address was very confusing for us and our Uber driver, as it didn’t match anything in the Uber map system.
