This is the most all ability friendly tour. The walking is relatively slow. There are options for wheelchairs and to slow down in all locations. The guide makes sure everyone is accommodated. I would not recommend this tour for individuals with young children-it wont be up their alley, as it is not really interactive and the informationwould be a bit too dry for them. The guide was very knowledgeable and animated. It felt a little slow to me, but for the larger geoup it was probably necessary to keep it slower. I was hoping for a bit more movement as I dont like standing still for too long. So that would be the only issue that held me back from 5 stars.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed our accessible tour experience and found your guide knowledgeable and engaging. We also appreciate your feedback on the pace. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Galveston soon!
A wonderful experience and tour. Noell was completely knowledgeable, and very kind. She left us with our curiosity heightened and we plan to dig into the Galveston history even further. I would recommend this tour to all my friends and family.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear Noelle's knowledge and kindness made the Strand come alive for you. There's so much fascinating Galveston history to discover, and we love that the tour left you wanting to learn even more. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. She was able to answer all of our off the wall questions. She was a Galvestonion and obviously loved her homeplace and the history behind it. It was a hot day, and I was worried it would be hot and miserable. She knew all the cool places with air conditioning and shade. I highly recommend. We have Such a new appreciation for Galveston.
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and stayed comfortable despite the heat. It means a lot to hear you left with a new appreciation for Galveston—we hope to see you again!
