We did this tour at 9.30 one morning when it wasn't too hot. It lasted about 90 minutes and was full of interest and information. Having been on the tour we felt we knew Galveston a lot better and could appreciate our visit there much more. Worth every penny.

We did this little tour last Saturday and we highly recommend it. It really was very informative and interesting. A bit of advice... This is quite a casual event, you do not book or buy tickets in advance. Just show up. He was parked by the Pleasure Pier, that pink trolley is easy to spot. FYI - the operator does... More

I'm a displaced Native Galvestonian with memories of the "little pink tour train" passing our neighborhood several times a day. When visiting recently with an out-of-state friend, we decided to start our visit on the train so she could get a feel for the island and pick out some places to revisit at length. I do miss the pink engine... More

I went for the day with my parents, and my aunt, and they cannot walk a lot. This was perfect. They are located right on the Seawall at 25th st across from a great souvenir shop/and Fishtales restaurant. Call their number first so you can get times of the tour. We left at 12:30 on the dot, 10.00 per person,... More

Now, if you really want to see everything and then go back on your on, you must take this tour! It is much better than wondering what and where to go to see interesting things to do or see....I always love to see the expressions on people's faces as they drive down the Seawall! You can tell they are having... More

Do this on your first day.....even if you do nothing else. It was thorough, took us all over Galveston, and full of history. The original train engine was destroyed in the last hurricane, but the little jeep does fine. From this introduction to Galveston, we could decide what else we might like to do. It helps when you are shown... More

I have loved this little train since 1965. Passengers are pulled by a jeep now but the tour is just great. You will learn all about Galveston and the great flood and see some beautiful sites along the way.

The tour guide was pretty funny and showed us alot of neat places that we would have otherwise missed. Take a coat or something to cover up with it got a little chilly for us.

We waited over 10 minutes, but when it was the scheduled tour time, the guy simply canceled the tour because we were the only persons there to take the tour. We were told that they need a minimum of four to start and we have four people. The guy made some excuse that the sound system does not work, but... More
