Excellent tour - arrive early -if they have too many people they will start early. You will definitely enjoy this.
On our tour of Houston we decided to venture out to Galveston and we were happy we did. Galveston is a very pretty city about 45 minutes outside of Houston with plenty to see and do. We love seeing old houses and decided to see a couple while in Galveston. This house has survived multiple hurricanes and looks great. If...

Beautiful house! Our docent was Claire and she was great at sharing her knowledge of the Moody's and their house. It was an extremely enjoyable tour!
We have loved our time in Galveston and were very excited about this tour especially after reading the reviews. However, when we reached the Mansion and paid the ten dollars for the tour, which is the only way to see the mansion, we were disappointed.
Our tour guide seemed overwhelmed by the size of the group (about 20 people) and...

If you like architecture and history, I highly recommend visiting the Moody Mansion Museum. Tour was a little long, just over 2 hours, but we got a fascinating perspective on the history of Galveston.

You must visit this mansion. The guided tour is wonderful and informative. and is highly recommended. Check online for discount tickets and save when you purchase a ticket to tour both the Moody Mansion and Bishop's Palace for only $16 for both tours. I highly recommend touring both homes before leaving Galveston.
Our family of high school and college aged students all enjoyed the tour. Much effort is made to have authentic furnishings and give an accurate portrayal of the family. Pay attention to tour times since this is NOT self-guided. In MArch 2013, tours began at 11, 1 and 3.
This was a very interesting tour with tons of history. The tour guide was VERY knowledgeable and told us EVERYTHING about every single piece of furniture and room in this house. I personally loved the tour because I love history, but be warned that this tour is very long. I thought it was very interesting and a great pre-cruise activity.
