Houston and Galveston Tour - I had such a great time on this tour thanks to Billi! She was friendly, funny, and full of Texas spirit making me feel welcome and entertained. Her stories brought Houston and Galveston’s history to life, and she kept me laughing. Billi’s energy and humor made every stop memorable, from Graffiti Park to Galveston Island. She truly loves what she does, and it shows!!

Personal Experience!!!! - Billi was great! She was knowledgeable and personable! There was some traffic and road closures making the normal route impossible and she was able to go with the flow. Since I was the only one on the tour she was able to really personalize to my interests, while still showing me so much more!!!!!! Definitely recommend!

The Best of Both Worlds! - Loved our driver very he was very personable. Galveston should NOT be done on days that museums are closed it takes away from the trip experience. At least warn people most things will not be available or tell them to bring bathing items in case they only want to hang at beach. Just a suggestion.
