Highlights

You will meet “The Lady In Black” who will uncover the mysteries at the heart of Texas’ more unsettling stories.

Great Cemetery Tour! - Annette is full of historical knowledge of Galveston Island. She made the tour both interesting and fun. She even has her own collection of photos she has taken that she shares during the tour. Easy to book and easy to find. Plenty of area to park as well.

Our tour guide (Annette)... - Our tour guide (Annette) was very knowledgeable of Galveston’s history and that of the cemetery. She had several great stories behind some of the cemetery’s residents. While we didn’t experience any supernatural activity, she showed us some incredible photos she had taken - a nun from the orphanage that was a victim of the 1900 hurricane and a little boy named Albert. Wish we had more time to hear more stories. Even if you’re not a believer, you’ll still enjoy learning about Galveston’s history from a slightly different perspective.

Learned history and got spooked! - Went on the tour on the day Nicaragua’s Smith died and definitely got spooked. I loved learning about Galveston’s history and its resilience after so many tragic events. Annette was amazing, shes very knowledgeable and a great tour guide! I’ll be back for the other historic tours

A glimpse into Galveston history - Had a great time with Annette I.e. The lady in black. She was so sweet and we loved learning the history and hearing stories of some of the people buried at the cemetery. She is very knowledgeable and the way she cares for the cemetery and the people there is incredible. Highly recommend!

Great cemetery tour in Galveston - Jeff did an awesome job; it ended up being a tour for just me and my family of the main cemetery in Galveston, and he provided us with a wealth of knowledge. Well worth it!

We’ve enjoyed this tour... - We’ve enjoyed this tour in the past, but this time it felt very different — and not in a good way. The group was much larger than before, which took away from the intimate, personalized experience we previously loved. It felt overcrowded and less engaging overall. We hope future tours will return to smaller group sizes to preserve the special atmosphere that made it so memorable the first time.

Cemetery Tour - Annette was very informative and we took numerous photos. Even though the weather was cool, we enjoyed learning some local history. We would recommend this tour to everybody.

Probably Would not Repeat - While the idea was good, execution was not. Spent roughly 45 minutes listening to our guide talk about herself, her dead husband & her pistol while she sat on the curb. What we did see was interesting, but we saw so little. I feel disappointed in this excursion.
