Great experience! Great guide!

Steve_C, Mar 2024

This was our first ghost tour , so we had no idea what to expect. To our surprise, the tour provided a great deal or history, legend, and lore about the island. Our tour guide, Tyler, was very knowledgeable and made the history of Galveston come alive. He also did a great job of sharing stories regarding the paranormal at each stop. Great experience!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Wow what a great review was thank you, we appreciate the 5 stars.Glad that Tyler took you out an awesome adventure.Will see you soon

Great Experience

Bobby_S, Feb 2024

We were in town for a work function and thought it might be a fun group activity to go on a ghost tour. There is a lot of history in this area and our host shared some very interesting facts on the island as we walked. There was plenty of time to stop for photos and to look around the outside of some of the places we stopped. While we didn't see any ghosts, we all enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to others.

Response from Host, Feb 2024
