No way to get the trip. Horrible for seniors. Very difficult to handle
Hello - It is posted that this is not wheelchair friendly, and it is a walking tour. Many seniors enjoy our tours, but we understand every guest’s needs are different. Please give us a call at 832-245-0492 — customer service is very important to us, and we’d appreciate the chance to make things right.
We took this tour again and really enjoyed hearing more stories as this tour has progress and gotten better. Bring walking shoes and plenty of water as you stroll along Broadway to see many of the homes that were so influential and beautiful in Galveston. The guides are extreme the knowledgeable and it’s fun to get to go inside one of the houses. We will be back again.
