Nice way to spend a few hours - We enjoyed our time doing the self guided tour of the mansion. The audio was very clear and easy to follow and understand. The personal stories were a great touch. The mansion itself was amazingly beautiful

Take the tour! - To be able to take a look into the past and see the opulent lifestyle that people led always amazes me. The docents were helpful and enjoyed sharing what they knew about the Moody family which made it even better. The audio tour was great but I wish somewhere it said to bring headphones, that would’ve made it easier to hear. Otherwise a great place to see.

It was a great experience... - It was a great experience I loved learning abt the history of Galveston and the families that lived here and still do. The fact you walk at your pace and explored yourself was nice and being able to listen to the history behind the mansion while doing so

Moody Tour - Enjoyable tour of a historic home. This tour had been recommended by friends, and it did not disappoint. Once inside the home, you will be amazed by the craftsmanship and details of the construction.

Tour Options - I really wish we had an option for a guided tour of the Moody Mansion rather than scanning the QR code for info. I believe it would make for a more enjoyable experience.
