This Galveston West End Tour Open-Cockpit Private Biplane Tour takes you up in the air so you can see the city without having to navigate the massive crowds on land.

My husband and I had an amazing flight. It was scary for me at first but Emma did a great job and I was fine after a couple of minutes. Thank you Emma for an amazing flight!
