What To Expect

Your late-night Galveston excursion begins at a departure point conveniently located in the center of town. Set off on foot accompanied by your guide, who’s well-versed in the city’s history—especially its spookiest and most supernatural chapters.

You’ll discover a side of Galveston that few other visitors get to see when you explore the island’s historical cemeteries. Visit highlights like the Broadway Cemetery, Trinity Episcopal Cemetery, and the Yellow Fever Yard.

As you go, keep an eye out for any unexplained or ghostly happenings, with cameras at the ready. Your guide will share creepy tales, and thanks to their local knowledge, will take you to the spots where you’re most likely to have a spooky encounter.

Finally, this short-but-sweet tour finishes at the start point for maximum convenience.

Jeff_M, Mar 2024

We did not have the tour. The tour operator said you - Viator sold a non-existing tour. We showed up. They were not there. Said it is your fault. Please have someone call me at 713-732-9596
