Description
Ride, Tour and Experience the "Free State of Galveston" in a Carriage Haus Model-T replica electric golf cart! Your posse will engage with old Galveston on this interactive 90-minute tour led by an experienced and highly rated Galveston Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA) who will serve as your private driver or guide you as a passenger. Experience an international city that was on top of the world until a storm left it broken and destroyed. Discover the raising up of an island, literally, to become the notorious playground of the South. Roll through neighborhoods once in ruin and rubble, but revived with renegades, restoration, and riches. Hear the old tales from the underground speakeasies and casinos, as well as some modern-day scuttlebutt. Meet the players and OGs who impacted the island forever. Journey on this cultural and historic adventure back in time to the roaring decades that created intriguing Galveston legends.
