Pub crawl review - Would recommend this to anyone! A ton of fun and a lot of knowledge of the area. Toured the entire area with tons of bars to hit and some very cool spots to see. Our guide made friends everywhere we went and it was a blast!

Haunted Pub Tour with Larry - Larry was a very informative tour guide who led us on the Haunted Pub Tour throughout the Red Light District. His senior was very enjoyable and enthusiastic about his tour.

Nothing haunted - Tomas was knowledgeable but this crawl was anything but haunted… expected to hear some scary history… all that was talked about was the red light district.

Lack of ghost stories on ghost tour? 2/10 experience - We went on the Galveston ghost tour pub crawl for my friends birthday, and while we were initially very excited to go we were not satisfied with our experience. Out tour guide showed up at our spot smoking a cigarette in a non uniform outfit and acted too casual. We signed up for a ghost tour pub crawl and our tour guide said initially “I have y’all signed up for just the pub crawl, but I can do some chose stuff too I guess” which was very disappointing. Out of the pubs we attended we only liked two of the four, as the other two had terrible drinks. For the price, I should be able to go for a ghost tour that provides information about ghosts in Galveston that I can’t google. Mid at best, expected so much more…

Tour not as advertised! - False advertising! We signed up because of the title of the "pub crawl" and the description of the tour guide, Mike. We got neither. While I understand Larry has to start sometime, he was not even a longtime local and struggled to cite history. He did not seem to get this was also a pub crawl. We tried to be patient and understanding, but in the end, we got shortchanged and should be given a refund. There were no others on the tour. I gave Larry a $20 tip because I felt bad for him.
