I was very satisfied with our tour, I felt like it was long enough for what I paid, the tour guide was sweet and informative and really set the mood. The whole vibe was right. Plus on top of everything, me and my boyfriend actually caught some pictures on our phones with some sketchy stuff in them!

Our tour guide was great, and it was fun learning a bit about Galveston history. I did another tour like this in a different city and loved it. This one was different and maybe that's why it was just meh for me. There was some history, but it felt a bit disjointed and more like an assortment of ghost spottings, rather than a singular story of a haunted city. It would be more compelling if it was all weaved together into a single tale of the most haunted city in America.

The tour was full of historical facts. The tour guide was personable but seemed a little unsure sometimes. Maybe he was new? We enjoyed the history but were kind of hoping for a couple of ghost stories.

Might have been informative but didn’t start on time, did not limit group to ten as stated on website ( groups of ten turned into 61 and the notation of groups of ten was removed from site after purchase) tour guide was obviously waiting for Dash Beardsley to give a surprise visit in his hearse. His arrival was staged with admirers who gushed over his original song. We left ASAP. Groupon $6 group walked past us with attentive guide and small group and would have been the way to go.

My first visit in Galveston and kept hearing about how haunted the island was so it peaked my interest to find a ghost tour. I went on this tour and I learned a lot from Annette about the history and how the ghost encounters coincide. I highly recommend taking this tour if you are in the area and want to learn about the great island of Galveston.

We went on this tour on a cold and windy night but it was worth it! My husband and I were the only people on the tour so we had Creola all to ourselves. She was very informative on the history of Galveston and had a fun personality. There is so much history in Galveston it seems like every building has a story. Definitely worth going on this tour!

Overall a great tour! Our tour guide Andrew was very informative and entertaining. I left the tour with some great ghost stories to tell as well has a new found respect for the history of Galveston. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to bring the kids out and also anyone who has an interest in history!

I booked a tour for my teenage nephew and I and we were very pleased with how knowledgeable our tour guide was. We strolled through the cemeteries and stopped at some prominent gravesites and our guide was able to give the history and backstory of the deceased. We really enjoyed it and will do other tours next time we visit Galveston.

It’s good to have a guide that knows about and cares about the souls on the tour. She had so much knowledge on the area and helped us to understand better what causes their distress. We loved the story of the adventurous and sometimes crazy Betty Ashton the best.

Booked the tour and was very pleased with the tour. Tyler gave a-lot of trivial information as we walked through the streets to view haunted houses. The tour lasted about one hour and my wife and I enjoyed it.

Yes, a walking tour, but many stops while the guide speaks. The sidewalks are level except for a few spots. I took my flashlight because I'm afraid of falling. I had no trouble at all. The guide kept us aware of any bumps in the sidewalks.

I am a huge paranormal believer and adventurer. Been to all haunted sites in San Antonio TX even the ones your not supposed to. I want to know which tour is more likely to experience paranormal activity. I know activity happens at all times and every where, but which tour has a history of having the most activity and highest creepy factor. FYI I am not afraid of cemeteries but if that's the best for me let me know please.

Definitely not Ghost Tours of Galveston. The guide uses pictures on her computer to demonstrate ghost activity. There was absolutely nothing scary about it. I recommend you get the book "Ghosts of Galveston" and explore on your own. It gives you awesome locations to visit. Don't miss the painting hanging at Hotel Galvez. Very creepy. Have fun.

Do you actually get to go inside some "haunted" buildings, or just see them from the outside?
Written January 26, 2017
Most all of these are businesses that you can enter most any day of the week. Many of these businesses have closed at the time of the tour arrives at their location. Even though the tour company tells stories about the buildings and businesses, they have no keys or special permissions to enter a business after hours.
