Came for the Ghosts, Stayed for the Prostitutes

We had such a great time on this tour! Mike was an awesome guide, super knowledgeable and you could tell he genuinely loves Galveston and its history. We were hoping for more history than ghost stories, and that’s exactly what we got, though I think that’s because Mike was just reading his audience. The stories about the old red-light district were fascinating, and Mike had so many details you just don’t hear anywhere else. One of the best parts of the night wasn’t even on the tour itself. Mike left us with the other tour couple at a nearby restaurant, and we wound up talking for hours. It’s not often we meet other people with a genuine interest in history. It was such an unexpected bonus and made an already great evening even better.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such a great time with Mike. He loves sharing Galveston's rich history, and we're glad the tour—and the great company afterward—made for such a memorable evening. We hope to welcome you back for another tour the next time you're in Galveston!

Educational with drinks!

Mike was great. As a 9th generation native he knew the torrid history of the area well. The next to last pub on the tour was Earline's downtown Dive, it is a newly opened local artists bar built in the former opera house... very nice vibe.

Operator response

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with Mike and had a fun evening exploring Galveston with us. Hope to see you again sometime!”
