Even though it was extremely hot outside our guide, Noelle, was patient with some late arrivals. She was also extremely knowledgeable about the architecture and the history of the city. It was fun and informative!!

We were running late, the manager called us to check on us and our guide waited an extra few minutes for us. It was so unexpected and appreciated. We thought we were going to miss. Our guide Noel was very informative and friendly.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad we were able to make sure you didn't miss the tour. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Noelle. Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Galveston adventure soon!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. It is clear that she has done considerable research. My husband, an architect was impressed. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you and your husband enjoyed the tour. It's especially rewarding to hear that an architect was impressed! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another Galveston adventure soon.
Where to meet was confusing-1 said to meet at 123 Rosenberg n another described a tour guide that wanted to meet at Harbourside coffee! We couldn’t find either site and fortunately our tour guide Gin found us!
We're so glad you're enjoying your time in Galveston! We believe this review may have been intended for another tour company, as we don't have a guide named Gin. Our meeting points are long-established and consistent, and we always meet our guests at those designated locations, so we don't believe this experience was with our company. We're happy everything worked out for you, and we're sure the team you toured with will appreciate your kind words. We hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Galveston, and if you'd like to experience one of our tours, we'd love to welcome you on our Historic Galveston Ghost Tour, Grand Galvez Ghost Tour, or Galveston Architecture Tour.
Great experience that felt off the beaten path with some really cool old houses and a lot of Galveston and architectural history!
