Voices of the 1900 Storm Private Tour
Beskrivelse
1900-stormen er blevet kendt som den værste naturkatastrofe, der nogensinde er sket i USA. Den 8. september 1900 blev byen Galveston for altid ændret! Byen havde ingen advarsel om en storm på vej, og virkningen var ødelæggende. Mellem seks og tolv tusinde mennesker mistede livet. Kvarterer var uigenkendelige, efterladt i total ruin. Affaldet skabte en 20 fods mur, der minimerer skaderne i det historiske distrikt. Over hundrede år senere er bygningerne de eneste overlevende tilbage, der udholdt stormen i 1900. Tag med mig på en 2-timers rejse, mens jeg fortæller historierne om stormen. Hør personlige historier om overlevelse og tab, når du ser de steder, hvor det hele udspillede sig for 122 år siden!

Travel throughout Galveston in an electric Midel T replica vehicle. Sat 4 comfortably, but7 would be a squeeze. Gin, our guide, is a true Galveston city expert, knowledgeable on a variety of topics. The tour was wonderfully detailed and fun. Felt like we had a very thorough overview of the history and tales of Galveston. More to return for from this tour company
This was an excellent tour! Gin had so much knowledge and fascinating stories about the storm and Galveston. We felt like we saw almost the entire island, and Gin specifically asked about our schedule, extending the trip to 2 hours after we said we had the time. One note: the classic car/golf cart vehicle was quite bouncy, so there were a few uncomfortable moments when we hit bumps, etc. We really enjoyed this tour and would definately recommend it for anyone interested in the storm, or history in general.
We enjoyed the open air ride and since we have experienced hurricanes, we understood all that Gin was telling us about the ravages of the the Storm of 1900. And now we know the rest of the story! Loved our Galveston get away ❤️
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. Your support means the world to our team!
Wonderful and thorough history of the 1900 storm. So many stories about the storm, and the opportunity to see where it happened. Plan on doing it again next time we are here!
