My husband and my life long girl friend took this tour as part of our pre-cruise fun in Galveston! It was great! I have long been a fan of the tv show Restoring Galveston with Ashley and Michael Cordray and thought it would be great fun to see some of their homes if I ever got to Galveston again. When we booked a cruise and decided to spend a couple days in Galveston prior to the cruise. I began looking for a tour and found this one. How perfect! It was such a great experience!!! Our tour guide, Willie D, was wonderful! Informative and entertaining! All 3 of us absolutely loved it!

Willie our tour guide gave us a wonderful customer experience. So personable and knowledgeable. Took us to the sites "we have seen on TV," fun night. Also saw the twice a year citizens visiting some of the very lovely properties in Galveston. Also, we're intrigued to take The Mob Tour, hosted by Willie.
