The Ghosts of Galveston Guided Walking Tour

I really was expecting a tour of like jump, scares, and stuff like that, but I was pleasantly surprised that it was based on historical facts and historical monuments and mild status from the island. I will go to more of these to when I go back. this was a really great time.

Bought tickets on viator the afternoon of the tour. Showed up to designated location and time and no one was there. Called the number of vendors that was provided in confirmation email. Was told the tour was canceled because no one signed up. Fortunately, the vendor refunded us. If I were you I'd book tickets directly with vendor instead of with third party

Very fun and educational!!! We had all ages from 11 to 65! If your in the area and have 90 minutes I recommend!

It was a great ghost history tour! Our tour guide, Jennifer was very knowledgeable of Galveston history which made it interesting.

Kevin was a great tour guide! We learned so much about the history of Galveston and the ghosts that haunt it. We lots of fun reviewing photos we took to see if we could see any spirits of our own.

Kevin was an awesome guide. He was knowledgable and entertaining. The mosquitos were bad and he brought spray and shared with us all.

We chose this tour because the description said it was a history tour with ghost stories mixed in. It sounded different than other ghost tours we’ve been on so we were excited to learn some history along with the local lore. Our guide had no idea of Galveston history, the hurricane of 1900, or even Texas history. He repeatedly referred to Stephen F Austin as Samuel Austin…..we excused ourselves after about 20 minutes. I will be seeking a refund!

Hearing so much interesting history!!! Also, stopping inside a hotel lobby for stories was fun too!!! I was apprehensive about walking for 90 minutes but it was so interesting that the time flew by!!! Our tour guide was great and shared lots of photos with us! This was an affordable adventure!

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!

My friend and I (both females) waited for an hour, on the designated street corner in an unfamiliar city, but our guide never showed up. I contacted customer service and was told the guide was running late, which was understandable because of a huge biker rally in town, so we waited for an additional 20 minutes. I called customer service again, but it was after hours and I had to leave a message saying we were leaving and I was expecting a refund. By the time we got a few blocks down the street, the refund was already issued, so that was a huge relief! I am very sad we didn’t get to enjoy the tour, but thankful that we stayed safe and the refund was swift. Also please note that the Galveston TX meeting point address was very confusing for us and our Uber driver, as it didn’t match anything in the Uber map system.
