Thanks for taking the time to review this tour. We've worked hard on this tour since launching it in July 2019 and have many new topics coming for 2020 - including a new departure from our offices on the Seawall as well as the Visitor Center (where you started). Do stop by and get your free souvenir photo taken at our office at 1522 Seawall!

This trip is definitely a worth while tour and based upon what you learn, a great value. The driver/guide gives really good explanations and you realize that he knows his stuff (facts), and can tell good stories too. In my opinion, anyone who comes to Galveston and wants to learn about its history; take the tour.
