Itinerary
The historic Strand, a national landmark, was the Wall Street of the South prior to the Great Flood. So many people tried to take refuge in the upper stories of these magnificent bank buildings, but sadly perished. Over 10,000 people died on that fateful night. It is the largest national catastrophe to this day.
As we stand in front of the historic railroad where over 50,000 men would come by train to visit the bordellos, we will examine the hauntings that continue to this very day in the building.
So many dignitaries, soldiers, politicians and even presidents have checked in…but some never checked out. Crying sobs are heard on the stairwells and in the halls. A Civil War soldier marches up and down the lobby for everyone to see. A little boy plays in the hotel rumored to be the ghost of a child run over outside the front of the hotel. One helpful ghost will even unpack for you!
We will pass by the Opera House located in the heart of the Postoffice Street Arts and Entertainment District.
We will pass by this nice historic property representing one of the earliest examples of steel frame-based construction in the state.

Noelle is the best tour guide. 10/10 would take a tour with her again. We enjoyed our red light district tour
Thank you so much! We couldn’t agree more—Noelle is fantastic! We’re so glad you enjoyed the Red Light District tour and had such a great experience with her. We hope to see you again for another tour!
Rob was great! He is a great public speaker and so knowledgeable. He knew so much! We were hoping to go inside buildings and alleys, but we still had a good time. Maybe bring waters for the guests.
Thank you for joining us and for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Rob and appreciated his knowledge and storytelling. We also appreciate your suggestion about providing water and will certainly keep it in mind. Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour soon!
Tour was very lackluster for a Saturday night tour. Tour guide showed up like he just got in from the beach and talked about himself the whole time. Didn’t really know much about the red light district because he had not done the tour in a while. Save your money and do something else.

I lived in Houston my whole life and didn’t know anything about Galveston. We came to Galveston for the weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday and she’s a history buff and she truly loved it! I was very impressed how knowledgeable our tour guide was! It was a very interesting experience and I can honestly say it was worth it!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful review! 🎉 We’re so glad you chose to celebrate such a special weekend with us. It’s always exciting to hear when locals discover new sides of Galveston’s history, and we’re thrilled your wife enjoyed it too. We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you both again for another adventure! 🌙👻
