I will start out by saying my group had a very nice time walking around Galveston and hearing some cool stories. Galveston has got such an interesting past and it is perfect for a ghost tour.
The tour itself was okay. It leaned heavily on history to illustrate the ghost stories which we actually liked a lot. It was just that the delivery from the tour guide wasn’t the greatest. Whether it was lack of excitement from the tour guide or they just didn’t know the content (spent a lot of time referencing notes……and while I appreciate the accuracy and I could have accepted a few times of reading from notes to check a date….after so many times, it felt like they weren’t the expert we were paying for and some of it should have been memorized instead of read from a piece of paper). That being said, we enjoyed our time learning about haunted Galveston!

We couldn’t find it so we didn’t get to experience the tour. Drove around in circles for 30 minutes and gave up. Hope we can get some of our money back.

The historical aspect was good. Know it is a lot of walking from Trinity Episcopal Church to the Strand. Ghost stories were vague. Not sure if guide didn’t know details or what. But he genuinely tried and was very nice to all of us.
