A Very Informative Look Into The Deadliest Hurricane in US History - We really enjoyed this private tour. Riding in the open air replica 1908 Ford Model-T from Carriage Haus was fun. But the true highlight was our guide, Gin, and all of the great information she provided throughout the two hour tour. She showed us many of the buildings that survived the Great Storm, bringing to life what happened to the people within those buildings, the damage the buildings sustained, and the many heroes who helped save others from drowning. She helped us understand the aftermath of the storm and how different Galvestonians made the city safer for future generations and brought the city back to life. Gin made recommendations on other venues to explore to as well as great books to read to learn more about this disaster. Highly recommend! Will be back for some of the other tours that are offered.
