Galveston Rotlichtviertel Tour
Beschreibung
Treten Sie ein in Galvestons skandalösestes Geheimnis, wo die Polizei an der Brücke anhielt und das Laster die Insel regierte. Kehren Sie zurück in eine Ära, in der Galveston als "America’s Playground" bekannt war, ein weit geöffnetes Paradies der Sünde, in dem Glücksspiel, Alkohol, Bordelle und Hinterzimmerdeals unter dem Schutz des organisierten Verbrechens florierten. Solange das Geld floss, wurden die Besucher wie eine Familie behandelt und der Genuss blieb folgenlos. Casinos pulsierten durch die Nacht, und das Rotlichtviertel gedieh hinter unmarkierten Türen. Korruption wurde nicht mehr geflüstert, es wurde erwartet. Dies war Galvestons eigener Vegas-Traum, komplett mit Weltklasse-Entertainern wie Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. und Dean Martin, die nur wenige Schritte von Prostitution, Auszahlungen und unerlaubten Vergnügen entfernt auftreten. Auf dieser Tour werden Sie die Geschichten aufdecken, die sie zu begraben versuchten, die Orte, an denen Strom mit Gefallen gekauft wurde, und wie Galveston zu einem der berüchtigtsten Rotlichtviertel Amerikas wurde, die sich alle in Sichtweite versteckten.

Ursprünglich das Oleander Hotel im Jahr 1913. Im grünen Buch als sicherer Zufluchtsort im Süden von Jim Crow aufgeführt. Ein Ort, an dem die Afroamerikaner ihre Reise nach Galveston verbringen können.
Der Ausgangspunkt des Streitkolbenreiches. Formal waren Sam und Rosarrio der erste Friseurladen, in dem sie Wein und Spirituosen für ihren durstigen Gast boten.
Formal die Heimat von Molly Waters. Eines der berühmtesten Häuser der Insel. Molly ist Galvestons berüchtigtste Frau, als sie einen Millionär zurückzog. Das Haus wird gerade restauriert.

Noelle was very entertaining. She was aware of loud noises and would pause to make sure everyone was keeping up. We got so much information and a new appreciation for the city’s history.
Rob was amazing and knowledgeable about all the history and ghost stories. We had a blast learning everything.
Well worth the price. Noelle was a great tour guide.
Noelle was our tour guide. She was great! She had good energy! She was well studied in her knowledge of the subject, along with the architecture and mafia presence. And though I feel I am well-versed in the history of Galveston, she provided several facts about the female workers and the area history that I did not know. She answered all my questions with enthusiasm! But, I cannot give a five star/excellent rating. The reason is that I found the tour price to be rather high. For my partner and I the total cost was $65.73 and this was after a $5 discount through the galveston.com website. After paying for the costly tour, it was painful to dish out more cash for tipping our guide. This is not a reflection on our tour gude, rather the tour company.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind words about Noelle! We’re so glad her knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm added something new to your understanding of Galveston’s history. We truly appreciate your comments regarding the cost as well. We would just like to clarify that gratuities are always completely optional and never required. Thank you again for touring with us and for recognizing Noelle’s great work! We hope you will join us again.

The tour was really interesting and fun. Could not have been more pleased with our guide Noelle. She was super knowledgeable and fun. Til next time.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Red Light District Tour. Noelle will be thrilled to hear you appreciated her knowledge and fun storytelling. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to walking with you again next time you're in Galveston!
It was a great tour and very educational! Much more than you can get from just reading up on the history of the area with the visuals of the historic landmarks. Our guide, Rob, had the right amount of energy and was a wealth of knowledge. The only drawback was the mosquitos. Somebody jacked Rob’s bug spray at the starting point or we would have been set! Do yourself a favor and BYOBS (bring your own bug spray).
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the Red Light District Tour and that Rob's knowledge and energy made the experience memorable. Sorry the mosquitoes crashed the party—and thanks for the great tip to bring bug spray! We hope to see you again for another Galveston adventure.
