Galveston is haunted as fuhh - Thomas was a great tour guide. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Galvestons haunts. We stayed after with our questions, which he was happy to answer. We even heard about his personal experiences with ghostly encounters! Definitely recommend!

Had Fun - Our guide was Thomas. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. He also tailored the tour so we would have plenty of shade from the August heat.

Galveston cemetery tour - This was our first family ghost tour and we had a great time. Our guide was from the same home town as us and knew all the lore about the cemetery and it's "residents". My daughter and I ended up seeing what looked like someone moving behind the grave stones. I played it off until I found out later she saw the same thing. I would definitely recommend. The cemetery is so big you could get there early and tour.

TAKE THIS TOUR!! - If you find yourself in Galveston, you absolutely NEED to take this tour! Our guide, Thomas, was charismatic and articulate with a wealth of knowledge about Galveston history. This guy really knew his stuff! You could tell he was genuinely passionate about Galveston, which my friend and I truly appreciated. Plus, he was super chill, yet funny and engaging with the whole crowd. Thomas truly made our weekend getaway to Galveston memorable. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. If you are on the fence about booking this tour, then this is your sign to just do it. You will absolutely have a blast!!

Ghost Tour on the Strand - We took the historical tour and absolutely loved it last year. Tonight’s tour on the strand, we thought based on website that we were going to see multiple different locations; however, we only went around the railroad museum. The tour guide Thomas was very nice and had great information about that area. We were just very disappointed about not getting the whole tour as advertised on the website.
