We had a great time on the tour. Me and the wife took our daughters they loved it all the way through. Michael was a very knowledgeable tour guide and had some very good stories about each site we stopped at. He made the tour exciting and fun and spooky. Would recommend this tour if you like history with your ghost.

Absolutely amazing tour! Me and my husband took the tour, he's a veteran and they let him on the tour for free! You don't see that with a lot of companies nowadays. They are amazing towards their vets. I didn't know there was so much history in Galveston. Our tour guide (sorry I'm horrible with names) was really awesome. Even threw in a couple of hilarious jokes that had us all laughing. It was really just genuine fun. Great way to spend a couple of hours. Thank you!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
