10/10 would do again! - Amazing experience! Very educational but entertaining and tour guide made sure to add a level of interaction with the group aside from the information, asking us if we had any stories or encounters, cracking jokes, etc.

great stories of spooky galveston! - Thomas was amazing! He’s funny and had lots of history for us, which is just what we wanted. Lots of stories and details about the past- who haunts Galveston and why! Was fun to bring family and our neighbor. Will recommend. Thanks for a great tour, Thomas!

Tours well worth it - We had such a fun tour! We went with another couple and loved walking around, hearing the stories, and getting a little spooky. Seeing Galveston in the evening was honestly eye-opening, such a beautiful city!

This was a great tour! My niece and dog had such a good time . The guide told the best stories and was very animated. - We went on a night during a Halloween Parade so it was very crowded and loud! Thomas did a great job making sure we could all hear him and keep us engaged. He was very careful to put our safety first. If you have a chance this is a tour you do not want to miss .

Excellent ghost tour - Excellent tour. Tom spoke clearly and with volume. Didn't just learn about ghost in Galveston but the history behind it. Will go on the other tours they offer.

So so good - The ghost tour was so fun! Thomas is the best tour guide and he really makes the tour so much better! I was worried it was just going to be a 90min history lesson, but he made it so fun and enjoyable!

Scam! - The details listed that we would go to at least 3 different places and the only thing we did was go stand by the railroad museum. You don’t go into places. We walked basically 2 blocks and listened to stories. Nothing spooky or super cool about it other than our guides dog Dude.

Terrible! Don’t waste your money. - Terrible. We walked maybe a total of 2 blocks. Talked about 4 ghost and one legend. So disappointing. We went on another ghost tour with this same company last year and it was so good. We walked over a mile, heard lots of ghost stories. So sad this one did not measure up. Will not recommend nor attend another one.
