Galveston oh Galveston🎶 - Easy trip out to Galveston. Saw all the sights and Zack our driver was full of information. Got photo stops where we wanted and choice of where we needed to be dropped for free time. Just note that pier not open till weekends usually. Loved our trip.

Procurement Queen: First time in Galveston - Billy is an excellent tour guide. She is a safe driver, shared the history of Galveston, took pictures and when it started to drizzle she leant me an umbrella. I enjoyed my day trip. I highly recommend the tour. Thanks again Billy, until we met again.

Definitely recommend. - Excellent tour. Billi is an excellent tour guide. Great that it is small groups rather than a coach load of people. We loved Galveston and would definitely recommend this trip with Fun Texas Tours.

Galveston Trip - Dan & Billi were amazing tour guides! The island was beautiful and weather was perfect. Lots of history! Having a full hour to explore was a nice bonus to the trip just don’t recommend eating at a sit down restaurant.

Galveston day trip - I did the half day tour to Galveston from Houston. I ended up being the only one on the tour, and Guide Dan was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt the tour was the right length for my purpose, and a very comfortable vehicle.
