Makes History Facinating! - This tour is the best of the three tours we took in Galveston. Very knowledgeable certified tourism ambassador sure beats the competition. Factually reliable but not the least bit dull. Go on this one.

Superb stories and sights - A wonderful tour packed with interesting history and stories. Our guide accommodated our questions and ending destination and we learned a lot about the city. A little bumpy and chilly so dress warmly since no blankets are provided. Warning if you have a bad back, ask for a gentler ride.
