Part of the past - What a great experience, riding in a carriage going through old neighborhoods with the beautiful old homes made you feel part of the era.

10 out of 10 Would Reccomend - The staff was amazing down to earth and informative. The pupper dog was a bonus and they gave us a few great spots to visit. If I could give them a 100 out of 100 I surely would well worth the little amount they charge!!

Leisurely Way to See Downtown - Great historical tour! The guide gives facts about how Galveston was founded, the history of the floods, and also a local real estate tour. It's a good way to see more than The Strand. The tour is around the downtown area. If you want to see the beach, you'll have to do that on your own. The tour cannot begin before 5:00 in the summer months due to city regulations for the horses in the heat. The guide also shared that the horses work about one tour a week and spend the rest of the time 15 minutes away in a pasture.

Excellent experience - Great tour and excellent experience! My granddaughter loved being Cinderella. It was hot out as it was 5pm in Galveston in the summer but there was some shaded areas and the tour was very interesting.
