She gave us a lot of insight into various families buried in the cemeteries that we visited. We stopped periodically and took photos after Annette summoned spirits from people buried there.

I knew Galveston had a spooky history but wow it is even more ghoulish than I imagined! Our tour guide, Josh, was knowledgeable of not only Galveston’s ghost history but of the paranormal world in general! He was animated and entertaining. My daughter was “nervous” about being scared but he kept things lively and fun! I’ll definitely be checking out the other tours from this company. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Andrew was great! He told stories in an interesting and engaging way. We went for our friends birthday and had a great time. A rude guy hassled Andrew at the beginning of our tour and he handled it professionally the best way he could. Recommend completely!

Our guide was entertaining and very full of info. We learned about the storm and some personal stories of other prominent people in Galveston’s history. He did a fantastic job. Only downside was It would have been more fun to delve into the ghost thing a little more. Comparing to some other ghost tours where they told more about sightings. Nothing to do with the guide at all, just the content. But I was definitely glad we spent the money. Well worth it.

I thank you for your review. I assure you the guides are well versed in paranormal history of the strand. Perhaps they thought you were more interested in the history. But I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. See you again soon

OMG! not only are the buildings beautiful on the strand they are so haunted. The tour guide Nikki was great and made sure to tell us where we could catch some of the old spirits floating around. My teenage son was a nonbeliever until he saw a shadowy figure in the alley. I will book again on next trip for our family outing.

Learned a lot about Galveston and the ghost. Actually saw the strangest thing happen with a window. The window contracted and expanded right before our eyes as if the window came to life!!! 😳😱 We all could see. Paranormal activity is real in Galveston. The tour guide was great ask for Nikki.

You cannot beat the value offered by this tour company. Josh went was well spoken and was very accurate about the happenings of the 1900 storm (All of my children were required to study in their Galveston County school). If you don't believe in ghosts you should. Our group of 12 got creeped out at a couple of the locations. Just take the tour and ask for Josh. You will not regret it.

I took a phew photos since the history he was telling us was interesting, since i’m very interested in old history or stories. I was also the girl that fell 😭 i was laughing because of that and also the “dad jokes” he was saying he was an amazing tourist with detailing everything and showing every place. It was funny when he called out my height 💀 but it was an amazing experience

This was a pretty good ghost tour. Our guide was dressed the part of a pirate and I just loved that! It created a nice ambiance for the group. She seemed knowledgeable and she seemed to believe all of the ghost stories herself which really made us feel that they could be true! I would recommend this tour!

My wife and I love Galveston and visit as often as we can for several years. We have always wanted to do a ghost tour but never did until November 15. Our guide, Josh, did a wonderful job of sharing the creepy history of Galveston. Seriously, he and the tour was one of the best experiences of our weekend. Highly recommended. I literally had chills at certain points.
