Our tour guide, Dave, was excellent. The experience was very interesting and has me researching many of the things he told us. I would highly recommend.
Highest rated tour | Locally Owned & Operated! The stories that you’ll hear as we venture on our 1½ hour walking Ghost Tour, past the gilded mansions and palaces are only whispered about on Galveston. People here are too afraid to open a dialog with the dead… afraid to unlock the gates of hell. We’ll unravel the horrible, scary secrets that lurk inside the ghost sanctuaries… secrets kept for the past 150 years! We have researched stacks of photographs and letters from those who won’t stay dead! We dive warily into the haunted past and uncover the reasons why this unstoppable paranormal force still grips the island. Bring your garlic, crosses and silver bullets as we descend into the ghost hunt darkness. This Ghost tour is for believers and nonbelievers alike. You’ll turn from skeptic to ghost hunter and learn about Galveston’s unparalleled and fascinating paranormal history along way. This tour is appropriate for all ages. But beware, you may have run.

Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. I love all the history you learn on these tours. We walked for about an hour through the surrounding neighborhood. Our group consisted of 10 people.

Tyler was a great tour guide! He merged history and the paranormal very well. The historic buildings were gorgeous and it was very interesting to learn about the history behind them. We also got to see Charlie the cat!

Dave was a VERY excellent story teller, every time he talked he kept us engaged. He was so animated and fun to listen to. And when he spoke you could tell he was being himself and that made it feel less like he was a stranger. All in all it was a blast and having Dave be our guide was so fun!
