Billy is an excellent tour guide. She is a safe driver, shared the history of Galveston, took pictures and when it started to drizzle she leant me an umbrella. I enjoyed my day trip. I highly recommend the tour. Thanks again Billy, until we met again.

Excellent tour. Billi is an excellent tour guide. Great that it is small groups rather than a coach load of people. We loved Galveston and would definitely recommend this trip with Fun Texas Tours.

Our guide Billy was very knowledgeable and helpful. She pointed out the most beautiful and historical sights and took us to the best restaurant Fish Tales for fresh seafood in Galveston
