Grande tempesta Hurricane Talk & Tour al Galveston County Museum

This tour is a must for anyone interested in learning more about the Hurricane of 1900 and its impact on Galveston. Our guide Gin was *incredibly* knowledgeable. She started our tour in the County Museum--giving us a bit of background on the storm and its impact on the city--then we hit the streets to see particular points of interest. Gin was an engaging and animated guide, happy to field any questions and a great source of recommendations for books, etc. She also graciously provided some restaurant recommendations at the end of our tour. The 2+ hours with her flew by and we walked away with a new appreciation for all that Galveston has endured and the undying spirit of those who call it home. Can't recommend this tour and guide highly enough!

The guide Gin was so knowledgeable and did a wonderful job! I thoroughly enjoyed it and would go again!!

Jen was awesome! Information packed tour - I swear Jen never took a breath, which made the tour very fun and very interesting. I never been to the Galveston County Museum, and that was very cool. The walk around the Strand (which we’ve been to often) was very informative - hearing the stories behind the buildings that survived was great. I won’t walk down the Strand again without remembering those buildings and stories.

Our guide is a great historian and shared a wide variety of stories. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

This tour starts in a museum for the hurricane of 1900 and then you take a walk around town to see spectacular buildings and hear stories of what happened that day… There is sadness but miracle stories as well!

This was a fantastic tour! We learned so much and heard so many stories. The walking tour gave such insight to exactly how the island was affected. Our guide was engaging and so knowledgeable about the storm and also the history of the island. We really enjoyed it!

The tour included many fascinating details and stories about the 1900 storm of Galveston. Gin was very knowledgeable and presented well. This tour is worthwhile for the curious.

very good experience.The guide was extremely knowledgeable about all parts of what she wanted to get across to us and did a great job.

Our guide was a walking encyclopedia. Her excitement was contagious. Down to earth and we just loved her stories about the people that survived. Michael and Niki

Gin, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable of many facets of the great storm of 1900 and was very personable. She made the events come to life and sprinkled in many personal islanders and Galveston island visitors experiences during the storm. I highly recommend this tour!
