Would not recommend

While there was some interesting history provided during the bus ride, it was much less informative than we expected. We would value this tour at $10-$15 per person. Definitely not worth $27 each.

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We price our tours as affordably as possible. Of the thousands of people who have taken this tour, yours is the first time price has been an issue. Operational costs for a full size multi-media tour bus including a, guide, insurance, City of Galveston fees, fuel, etc. make it impossible to operate in the price range you suggested. Due to overwhelmingly positive reviews, TripAdvisor has upgraded the rating of this tour to "Excellent" - we're sorry that wasn't your feeling as well. If you'd like to discuss your experience with me further, please feel free to contact me at the email or phone number in your reservation. For low cost and free things to do you can also check out the Galveston Digital Island Guide.

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!
